In 2025, Jordan Brand will pay tribute to long-time athlete Carmelo Anthony by re-releasing the iconic Air Jordan 12 “Melo.” Originally debuted in 2004, this sneaker commemorates Carmelo’s rookie season with the Denver Nuggets and highlights his enduring legacy and impact on basketball.
The original release in 2004 created considerable buzz, and over the years, the sneaker has seen retro releases and variations that celebrate its legacy. The “Melo” edition of the Air Jordan 12 was specifically designed to honor Carmelo Anthony’s rookie season in 2003-2004 with the Denver Nuggets. The shoe first made its appearance during the 2004 NBA season.
The Air Jordan 12 boasts a premium white leather upper adorned with quilted sidewall details that radiate outward like sun rays, enhancing its visual appeal and sophistication. University Blue accents create a striking contrast, while metallic silver upper eyelets add an elegant touch, giving the sneaker a polished appearance.
