Carmelo Anthony is always supporting his son and training him to reach his dreams. The 16-year-old’s game already resembles his dad’s a lot. The teenager is expected to join the 2025 NBA draft. With constant support from his parents and his own hard work, the son of Melo is now a highly valued athlete. His recent NIL deals made him stand out and helped portray his fashion to the world.

But years before his major deal with PSD clothing, Kiyan showed his creativity off by teaming up with the Jordan Brand to make a one-of-a-kind shoe.

Carmelo Anthony is proud of his son’s off-court talent

In the newest video by Architectural Digest, 10-time all-star Carmelo Anthony showcased his house in Westchester, New York, for the world to see. During the video, he let people see his massive shoe collection. Melo said that he doesn’t just collect them to see, but he collects them so he can wear them. Carmelo mentions that he was the first signature athlete for the Jordan Brand. After showing off his first-ever signature shoe, he talked about how grateful he was..

After that, Carmelo moved on to show the shoe that was designed by his son, Kiyan Anthony.

Anthony called it ‘What the Kiyan‘. The shoe was released by the Jordan Brand in 2021. But the shoe is actually the Air Jordan 35 PE “Kiyan”.

The shoe consists of all of Kiyan Anthony’s favorite colors. The name Kiyan is stitched on the rear of the shoe. Carmelo debuted the Kiyan shoe in a match against the Phoenix Suns when he was playing for the Portland Trail Blazers.

Carmelo then talks about not owning a Jordan shoe until his senior year of high school.

His school was sponsored by Jordan, and that’s when he received his first Jordans ever. But for his son, things are different as he is able to showcase his talents and work with the 137 billion dollar brand at such a young age.

Of course, this is not all that Kiyan had to offer. His creativity is now seen with his new signings as well.

Kiyan Anthony showcases his fashion sense

Being a household name has helped Kiyan sign endorsements and NIL deals. He currently has an NIL valuation of $515,000.

His rise in stock can be noticed by his recent signing with PSD Underwear. Kiyan said, “It’s more than just a partnership, it’s a collaboration that represents my style and my love of basketball. Together, we’re going to redefine what it means to be comfortable and confident both on and off the court.“

He has always been creative and is now showcasing his fashion to his fans.

His fan appeal is worth noting, as he is already signing deals before announcing where he will go to college. The NIL deals have changed how athletes make money, and it’s safe to say that it’s for the better. What do you think of Kiyan Anthony and his creative work? Let us know in the comments!
