Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Melo' 2025 — Carmelo's 12, Back for the Culture

The Air Jordan 12 Retro 'Melo' is one of the most beloved player exclusives to ever reach retail. Originally designed in Carmelo Anthony's University of Syracuse colors — white and orange — the 'Melo' 12 carries the energy of one of the most naturally gifted scorers to ever play the game. The 2025 retro brings it back with premium materials and the same PE-inspired colorway that made heads turn the first time around.
