TLDR: The Air Jordan 12 ‘Melo’ will be released on 17 May 2025 for €210 in a classic White/University Blue colourway. The new edition of the 2004 PE cult sneaker pays homage to Carmelo Anthony's rookie season with the Denver Nuggets. With premium leather, silver eyelets and OG vibes, this retro highlight is a must-have for Jordan heads and Melo fans. All the details as always at Grailify! The Air Jordan 12 ‘Melo’ is one of the most iconic player editions of the early 2000s. Originally released in 2004, the colourway celebrated Carmelo Anthony's breakthrough as a Jordan Brand athlete in the NBA. Back then, the rookie wore the white and blue AJ12 for the Denver Nuggets - a colourway that quickly became a fan favourite. Since then, the classic has been quiet - apart from a few versions in GS or WMNS sizes. Now, more than 20 years later, Jordan Brand is finally bringing out an official retro release for adults.
The 2025 model remains true to the DNA of the original: an upper made of high-quality white leather with the characteristic quilted panels meets accents in ‘University Blue’ - including the inner lining, the heel area, the Jumpman logo on the tongue and, of course, the outsole. Silver metal eyelets add a sophisticated touch and perfectly echo the sporty, elegant design of the OG.
The Air Jordan 12 ‘Melo’ comes in full family sizing - i.e. also for kids and pre-school - and will definitely be one of the most sought-after Jordan releases of the month.
When will the Air Jordan 12 ‘Melo’ be released?
The global market launch is planned for 17 May 2025. The retail price for adult sizes is 210 €.
