This weekend, Jordan Brand was scheduled to cap off its “Back to School” collection with a third sneaker paying homage to Carmelo Anthony’s alma mater, Oak Hill Academy. Following releases tied to Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul, Melo’s “Class of 2002” Air Jordan 13 was set to be the final piece in the group—but now it’s been scrapped indefinitely.
A Jordan Brand spokesperson has confirmed with us that a “minor cosmetic flaw” caused the brand to pull men’s and toddler sizes of the “Class of 2002” Jordan 13s from retailers. Despite this, grade school and preschool sizes will still be available. There’s no word yet if the brand has plans to re-release the sneakers at a later date.
At the end of the day, what has dominated headlines and airwaves in Houston is whether or not this latest experiment will work. The Rockets gave the Warriors their best shot, and had certain things gone their way, they would have been in the Finals. But they didn’t. Frankly, Clark is tired of hearing that. The Chris Paul experiment has been a smashing success, and the Carmelo one should be no different. “They’re saying now that Melo isn’t gonna work. Why? We got guys that communicate,” he says. “You’re on this team ’cause you think basketball. You’re just not out there running around — maybe that’s why it don’t work for other teams, guys aren’t thinking basketball. They don’t understand the bigger plan. Here, everyone knows the game plan so it’s easy.”
