'All Pics 100% Real Shots'

Carmelo Anthony was actually the first signature athlete for Jordan Brand; together, the duo unleashed a long series of signature models, although his prime pairs came in the earlier years via the Jordan Melo 5.5. His Player Exclusive game was equally as strong, and the 2004 release of the Air Jordan 12 proved that with Carmelo on its side, Jordan Brand had a new category of colorways to dabble in.This White/University Blue/Metallic Silver colorway is tied closely to Michael Jordan’s time at UNC, but it quickly got stuck with the Air Jordan 12 “Melo” colorway for its semblance to the powder blue Denver Nuggets jerseys. Anthony’s actual PE had his nickname embroidered at the heel, while the metallic eyelets were tinted in gold, but the retail version comes close.
