Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the release of the “Melo” Air Jordan 12<\/strong> retros that hit stores May 15, 2004.  This was the second time that the Air Jordan 12<\/a> released in this colorblocking having only released a few months earlier as a womens exclusive.  In fact, many men (no 50) hunted hard for the large sizes to wear.  Needless to say, quite a few heads who paid upwards of $300 for the size 15W were a little steamed when these hit stores for $135.<\/p>\n

This was the second PE-esq retro Jordan honoring Carmelo Anthony.  In the month prior, we saw the release of the “Melo” Air Jordan 2s.<\/p>\n

Today, finding a pair of the Melo Air Jordan 12s is no easy task.  With a decade since their release, only a handful of pairs can currently be grabbed now on eBay<\/a>, but for somewhat reasonable prices considering their age and quality of materials.<\/p>\n
