Last fall the public got the first glimpse of Melo wearing the M4 in a special color up when he took the court in a charity game in Beijing to support the Special Olympics, the China Hope Project and the Chi Heng Foundation, which benefits Chinese orphans with AIDS. For the game Melo laced up in a special edition of the Melo M4 that drew inspiration from “wood” - Melo’s Chinese astrological sign.
