In between Carmelo Anthony’s New York days, earlier with Syracuse and currently with the Knicks, he dressed up in the powder blue, gold, and white colors of the Denver Nuggets. Those days were of course laden with Air Jordan player exclusives for Melo, this Air Jordan XIII being one of the first ones he was blessed with. The sneakers were produced back in 2005 as indicated by the inner tag, and feature Carmelo’s name embroidered across the tongue for the personal touch. See this Air Jordan XIII Melo PE in the Nuggets home colors after the jump and buy yours from godfatherofsole on eBay.

Roughly a decade ago, the lovable Syracuse men’s basketball team led by an outstanding freshman named Carmelo Anthony went on to win the National Championship. Yesterday, the Western New York school paid its necessary tribute to its former star by holding a special ceremony and retiring his #15 jersey in front of an at-capacity crowd at the Carrier Dome. The Orange players extended their homage by wearing a special PE colorway of the Jordan Melo M9 in a White/Orange/Navy colorway; Syracuse is an official Nike-outfitted team, but they have worn Jordan Brand footwear on certain occasions with Melo usually at the center of it all, and what better event than on one of the most honored nights of Melo’s career? Check out the full shot of Melo’s sneakers as well as some in-game shots of the shoes and let us know if you think Syracuse will win another National Title this season.

Last Easter, Carmelo Anthony played his best game as a Knick when he hit two game-changing three-pointers – one to tie the game at the end of regulation and another to win the game in OT. During that fabled showdown between the Knicks and Bulls, Carmelo rocked a pair of blue suede shoes – the Jordan Melo M8 in a Royal Suede PE. It looks like the Jordan Melo M9 will get the same treatment as well as we get a look at a Royal Suede/Orange colorway of the Melo M9 that was spotted at the Jordan Brand ‘Flight Deck’ Exhibit during the All-Star Weekend. Check out the photos below and stick with Sneaker News for potential releases.

The starry look is apparently one inspired by his record-breaking 37 point performance at the 2012 Summer Olympics as part of Team USA.
