The Air Jordan 12 “Melo” is set to make a comeback in 2025. Originally designed for NBA star Carmelo Anthony during his Denver Nuggets days, this sneaker reflects the team’s iconic light blue, white, and gold color scheme. The re-release of the AJ12 “Melo” promises to stay true to the OG style, featuring a white upper with university blue accents on the pull tab, lining, and midsole.
The shoe was first introduced to the public in women’s sizing in February 2004 and later in men’s sizing in May of the same year. There was a later release, the Air Jordan 12 “University Blue,” in 2016, which featured a different shade of blue and was available in kids’ sizes.
Fans can look forward to the upcoming release on May 17, 2025, available through SNKRS and select retailers. With a price tag of $200, this highly anticipated release will bring back fond memories for those who remember the original launch.
