Carmelo Anthony joined Jordan Brand after the Denver Nuggets selected him third overall in the 2003 NBA Draft, becoming the brand’s first signature athlete outside Michael Jordan and helping open the door for other Air Jordan signature lines. The Melo 5.5, which debuted on Black Friday during Anthony’s early Denver seasons, is getting its first retro since that 2005 launch.
