On-Foot Photos Reveal Air Jordan 12 "Melo" In Detail

The Air Jordan 12 "Melo" colorway is officially back, and it's looking better than ever. Inspired by a player-exclusive pair worn by Carmelo Anthony during his early NBA days, this release brings a nostalgic yet fresh vibe. The clean design makes it stand out, while performance features stay true to the model's roots. The Air Jordan 12 originally debuted in 1996 and became one of Michael Jordan's most durable and iconic shoes. It was on his feet during his fifth NBA title run, which only added to the silhouette's legacy. Known for its rugged build and premium materials, the model has seen countless makeovers.




While this isn't Melo's first retro-inspired drop, it brings back a colorway that fans have wanted for years. The crisp white leather and signature university blue accents tie directly to his Denver Nuggets era. Combined with metallic chrome details, the look is both clean and striking. Thanks to new on-foot photos, we now get a clear view of how this pair performs in real life. From angles to texture, every detail pops. Whether you're a longtime Melo fan or just love the AJ12, these images offer a complete preview of what to expect.
