With Carmelo Anthony’s recent retirement, Jordan Brand honors his stellar 19-year NBA career. Through the special two-pack PEs of Air Jordan 2s, they pay homage to some of the milestones in his time on-court. Each pair features a different color-blocking inspired by his time with the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks, the two teams he played for where he built his legacy.

It’s an end of a chapter, a full-circle moment for Melo and the Jumpman since he became the first Jordan Brand trademark athlete after His Airness’ retirement. Ten All-Star team appearances in 19 seasons, as well as climbing up to ninth in the all-time scoring list, every prestige and magnificince within this one of one pack is well-earned.

The pack is regaled with elegant golden embellishments on the tongue, heel, and eyelets, signifying Melo’s three Olympic Gold Medals as a key member of Team USA. They’re housed in a special custom shoebox embued with an enthralling mosaic that depicts the Hall of Famer’s most iconic moments such as “Hoodie Melo”.

Since it’s unlikely anyone else but him will ever have their hands on the pair, we’ll just have to enjoy the bevy of images that’ve been released.
