Product Description:
The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Melo' 2025 edition revisits Carmelo Anthony’s iconic player exclusive, originally released during his rookie season with the Denver Nuggets in 2004. This classic returns with precision, honoring Melo's NBA beginnings through a crisp and clean two-tone palette.
A premium white leather upper with signature stitched radiating lines provides the foundational look, while a tonal lizard-textured mudguard adds dimensional contrast. Hits of University Blue—a nod to the Nuggets’ vintage palette—accent the inner lining, heel tab, and outsole. Underfoot, performance meets heritage with a full-length Zoom Air midsole, carbon fiber shank plate, and herringbone traction for on-court grip and responsiveness.
