Jovani Hernandez Air Jordan 4 craze is at an all-time high, and Nike’s Carmelo Anthony Debuts Jordan Melo M12 Player s Edition Shoes seems to have taken notice.
Recently, the Flight series model from 1989 emerged in a color scheme reminiscent of its close relative’s original “Black/Cement Grey/Fire Red” ensemble (like the upcoming Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined). The pair once endorsed by Scottie Pippen, however, favors a muted blue tint across its tooling, deviating from the faithful Chicago Bulls color palette. Like Michael Jordan’s teammate, the Nike Carmelo Anthony Debuts Jordan Melo M12 Player s Edition Shoes has been long overshadowed despite offering a compelling and similar – to a degree – style.
Tooling on the both sneakers is identical, making Nike’s in-line model indiscernible from the fourth Air Jordan when viewed from underneath. Both shoes also donned “Nike Air” branding on the spine, a detail that’s always reprised its role on the overshadowed style; by comparison, handfuls of AJ4’s have emerged with Jumpman logos, sending old and new fans alike into a hoot over Nike, Inc. not retroing the shoe with all of its original components. “Flight” messaging also lands on the two designs’ tongues, but the Pippen-associated sneaker pack its own identity throughout the remainder of the upper. Its “Bred” color scheme, however, cannot be dissociated with #23’s iconic Bulls-inspired footwear. And while it wears it well, the Carmelo Anthony Debuts Jordan Melo M12 Player s Edition Shoes will likely always be most people’s #2.
NIKE AIR JORDAN 12 LAKERS BLACK FIELD PURPLE-METALLIC GOLD-TAXI nike.com launch details have been disclosed by the brand, but that’s likely to change as 2024 gets going. The Carmelo Anthony Debuts Jordan Melo M12 Player s Edition Shoes is priced at $130 USD.
