With young superstar players like Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, Jayson Tatum, and Brandon Ingram, the future looks bright for the Jordan Brand. But players from the previous generation helped pave the way, and Carmelo Anthony is at the top of the last. The future Hall of Famer signed to the Jumpman his rookie year and became the brand’s first signature athlete since Michael Jordan. He released 14 signature sneakers (by SS4 Designer Justin Taylor) and many Air Jordan PEs throughout his career. Amongst the most popular was the Air Jordan 2, made to match his Denver Nuggets uniform. Jordan Brand gifted him two special AJ2 pairs in Denver and New York colorways to celebrate his career.

The gold details symbolize his three gold medals for Team USA. The box is lined with graphics such as Melo’s logo, a nod to “Hoodie Melo,” a callout to him being Jordan Brand’s first signature athlete after MJ, the different numbers he wore over his career, and more.  “Stay Melo” is on the heels of the shoe as well.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
