Carmelo Anthony Teams Up with Indigenous-Led Skyworld for “Hall of Flame” Cannabis Line Ahead of Hall of Fame Induction
NBA legend Carmelo Anthony is bringing his Hall of Fame legacy to the cannabis world. In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Anthony’s STAYME7O Cannabis is teaming up with Skyworld, a New York-based brand founded by Tuscarora Nation member Alex Anderson, to launch a special-edition “Hall of Flame” line in honor of Anthony’s 2025 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame induction.
The limited-edition release features exclusive #7 (Zero Gravity x Garlotti) 1/8ths and infused pre-rolls. Each purchase comes with a collectible enamel pin and induction into the StayMe7o Hall of Flame—inviting fans to be part of history, community, and a movement for positive change. The products will be available across licensed New York dispensaries in time for Enshrinement Weekend, September 5 and 6.
This partnership marks a milestone in New York’s cannabis landscape. STAYME7O, launched under Grand National by Anthony, cannabis leader Jesce Horton, and award-winning marketer Brandon Drew Jordan Pierce (Beedy), has always focused on aligning with partners who share its values. Under Anderson’s guidance, Skyworld embodies that commitment, producing premium cannabis that reflects Indigenous heritage, cultural unity, and sustainable practices.
“STAYME7O is more than a brand, it is an intentional mindset and community dedicated to shifting perspectives,” said Anthony. “The launch of our Hall of Flame celebrates Indigenous leadership, honors tradition, and connects people in a meaningful way. Together with Skyworld, we’re setting a new standard for collaboration: powerful, inclusive, and built to last.”
Skyworld has long positioned itself as more than a cannabis brand. Inspired by the Skyworld—a place of origin and unity in Native creation stories—the company cultivates flower with intention and respect for both plant and people. Each harvest is crafted to deliver the truest expression of cannabis while fostering community and cultural resilience.
For STAYME7O, the collaboration continues the brand’s commitment to positivity, mindfulness, and community empowerment. A portion of proceeds goes to NuProject, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting communities disproportionately affected by cannabis criminalization, uplifting minority entrepreneurs, and building generational wealth. The brand name, pronounced “Stay Melo,” nods to Anthony’s iconic NBA jersey number and his enduring legacy of calm, focused leadership.The “Hall of Flame” launch is available wherever Skyworld is sold in New York.
