The Jordan Carmelo 1.5, which was released in 2004, marked Carmelo Anthony's debut as a sneaker designer. Prior to that, he had achieved fame by leading Syracuse to a national championship in 2003 and later being selected as the 3rd overall pick by the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Draft. During his time with the Nuggets from 2003 to 2011, Carmelo sported this shoe, which boasts a colorway reminiscent of the Nuggets' team colors, with a combination of white, Metallic Gold, and University Blue. The iconic Jumpman logo is prominently featured, along with Carmelo branding that includes his birthdate, '5.29.84,' imprinted on the eye-catching multi-colored outsole.
