Carmelo Anthony helps design 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' clothing line
Carmelo Anthony can now add "fashion designer" to his list of accolades.
The New York Knicks star is teaming up with Macy's and Nickelodeon to release a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" boys apparel and accessory line. It only seems natural, as the baller scored a cameo in the upcoming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" movie - slated for a June 2016 release.
"For me, this is a big moment," said Anthony, according to WWD. "I grew up on the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' so to be able to partner on a boys collection with Nickelodeon and Macy's goes beyond my wildest dreams. As a kid, they were one of the first cartoons I gravitated to."
The pieces, ranging in price from $20 to $35, feature Melo's personal touches, as he was deeply involved in the entire line.
"I was basically involved in the whole creative process - the colors, which are kind of obvious considering they're turtles, and the slogan, and the textures. I was involved in every step," he said. "We really took our time to narrow it down and figure out what we wanted. I feel good about all the pieces."
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Melo collect will drop exclusively at Macy's stores in May.
