The Jordan 12 Retro Melo (2025) celebrates Carmelo Anthony’s rookie season with a faithful revival of one of his most iconic sneakers. Originally inspired by his Denver Nuggets PE and first released in 2004, this 2025 edition stays true to the OG, featuring clean white leather with university blue accents on the lining, outsole, and heel tab, plus metallic silver eyelets that elevate its classic appeal.
This release prioritizes authenticity, recreating the original look without alternate takes or special sizing, giving both longtime collectors and new fans a chance to experience Melo’s early 2000s signature style. It balances nostalgia with a modern retro drop, making it a standout in Jordan Brand’s current retro lineup.
The Jordan 12 Retro Melo (2025) was released on May 17, 2025, with a retail price of $200, in a white, university blue, and metallic silver colorway.
