The NBA star gave fans a look at a new take on the Tiffany Blue sneaker, which is the "Family & Friends" edition of the previously announced collab.

Carmelo Anthony just showed off a new colorway for the Tiffany & Co. Air Force 1 collab. Moreover, the NBA star gave fans a whole unboxing video and everything, revealing some of the shoe's packaging details. In fact, a lot of people were gassing up the orange box and turquoise bag and interior color more than the sneaker itself. For those curious, the shoe has a white midsole, paired well with the teal body, and black laces and eyestays. However, some fans likely remember the shoe's previous iteration, whose original design left fans disappointed.

What's more is that many picked up on the redesign on social media, such as Instagram posts covering Anthony's video. "It look like they be on ig doing their research cuz they was gone release them black ones. Til we flamed them sh*ts," one commenter wrote on Instagram. Furthermore, the original design went for more of a classic all-black design with a Tiffany Blue swoosh. Moreover, this newest edition that the Lakers player showed off is the "Family and Friends" edition. Overall, many believe that this rendition of the Tiffany & Co. Air Force 1s takes a bolder approach than its original.

For those interested in copping a pair, unfortunately these won't go on sale for the public. The original design will go on sale March 7th on the SNKRS app and select Tiffany locations. Also, they'll cost you $400 USD. Of course, Melo doesn't have to worry about price points or missing out on exclusive drops. Still, most conversation around him in the headlines these days surrounds his divorce from La La Anthony. While both seem to be in good spirits and moving on with their lives, reflections on the media scandal that surrounded them still resonate. For example, La La recently told Jason Lee about handling coverage of Carmelo's alleged twins out of wedlock.

“I know I’ve said ‘thank you’ before but I want to thank you again," she told Lee about when he fixed mistakes or misleading angles in his coverage. "Anyone in this room will say I’ve told that story to everyone that works with me. What stood out about you to me is that that was a very traumatic experience in my life, a very traumatic experience to my son. Hearing things, whether true or not true. And to be able to have made that call, and you respected what I said and understood that. I’m a mom to a teenager that has to see those things. I always appreciated and respected that.” Regardless of these developments, let us know what you think of the new Tiffany Air Force 1 colorway down below.
