As Carmelo Anthony bids farewell to basketball, we take a look back at this Kicks on Courts Classic highlighting Melo’s best Air Jordan PEs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original story from November 20, 2019, can be found below. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Carmelo Anthony<\/strong> is back in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of his high school, college, Team USA and NBA career, Melo has racked up one of the most impressive Kicks on Court resumes we’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repping Jordan Brand as a prep at Oak Hill Academy and rocking both the Jumpman and the Swoosh in his sole season at Syracuse, the #3 pick for the Nuggets in ’03 ended up being the biggest rookie signing Mike ever made<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually becoming a signature star for Jordan Brand, Carmelo had many models to his name but perhaps more impressively a slew of PEs that only Ray Allen and few others can compete with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following return to the NBA with the Blazers, we celebrate Melo and his best Air Jordan PEs for this special installment of Kicks on Court. Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan 2s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

+ The Air Jordan 2 might not have been Mike’s favorite but it was a go-to early on for Carmelo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ His Nuggets toned AJ2 with Melo on the back has released twice while his Team USA take has never seen stores<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

+ The pair was specifically made for Melo and was a gift from Jordan himself as the AJ4 was dedicated to The Redeem Team bringing back golden glory to Team USA basketball<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ The blue, white, and red Air Jordan 4 sported “Laser” vibes making it an elusive PE with its USA Basketball patch on the inner tongue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan 7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

+ Another Olympic-themed shoe for Melo with more obvious ties to his Jordan Brand affiliation <\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ With Melo branding on the heel, the Air Jordan 7 “Melo Olympic” PE is historic for many reasons <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

+ Carmelo Anthony laced Air Jordan 10s of his namesake at Media Day for an all-time flex<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ Melo has been spotted in these off court on a couple occasions but never rocked them in a game<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan 12s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

+ Carmelo Anthony’s White\/White-Baby Blue 12 PEs were so nice they hit retail three times<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ The patent pair or the yellow joints? We’re still waiting on those<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan 13s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

+ Jordan Brand honored Melo with an Air Jordan 13 release celebrating his high school career at Oak Hill not too long ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ While those were nice, how about a retail homage to his Denver days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan 18.5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

+ Before there was the 1.5 or 5.5 there was the 18.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ Worn by Melo in his Media Day photos as a rookie, this velour line luxury hoops model was custom fitted for the brand’s youngest star<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Jordan XX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

+ Though already a signature star via the 1.5, he gave Mike’s model props as he led the Sophomores in Denver<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
