In celebration of Jordan Brand’s 40th anniversary, sneaker enthusiasts and basketball fans can look forward to the highly anticipated return of the “Melo” Air Jordan 12. Originally designed as a Player Exclusive for Carmelo Anthony, this iconic release promises to stir up a sense of nostalgia and excitement in 2025.

A Closer Look at The “Melo” Air Jordan 12
According to Sneaker Files and @zSneakerheadz, the famous “Melo” Air Jordan 12 from 2004 is set to return in its classic “White,” “University Blue,” and “Metallic Silver” colours. These colours are a tribute to Carmelo Anthony’s time with the Denver Nuggets.
While this fantastic pair did come back in 2016, it was only available in smaller sizes, making it difficult for many adult fans to get a pair since their original debut in 2004. If you missed out back then or your old pair is worn out, the 2025 re-release is a great chance to get them in adult sizes.
This re-release sticks to the original clean design. Expect a white leather upper accented by “University Blue” on the inner lining, heel, branding, and sole. Finally, “Metallic Silver” hardware completes the look, giving this classic style its deserved shine.
What We Like About The Sneakers
The upcoming re-release allows enthusiasts to appreciate this colourway’s timeless design and elegant palette once again. It’s definitely a drop to watch out for next year, as it stands prominent amidst numerous exciting releases.
Release Details
Currently, the exact release details for the Air Jordan 12 “Melo” have yet to be confirmed. However, these coveted sneakers are expected to drop in the summer of 2025, retailing at $200 USD for men’s sizes.
