Carmelo Anthony has partnered with Jordan Brand and rag & bone for the release of a special edition Air Jordan XX, as well as an exclusive apparel capsule collection.
The Melo x rag & bone Air Jordan XX, coming in two separate colorways, features a flyknit construction with reflective materials, a detachable ankle strap and three interchangeable patches. The kicks are also grounded by a unique outsole that is inspired by the laser detailing on the original Air Jordan XX.

Sneakerheads since their youth, Anthony and rag & bone Co-Founder and CEO Marcus Wainwright wanted to approach their collaboration differently than most. Rather than choosing an earlier retro model, the duo decided on the Air Jordan XX, a silhouette they both agreed is underrated. “I think that it was a bit ahead of its time, but the shoe was always cool,” says Anthony. “This is a shoe I liked when I saw it, but it didn't get its fair moment. I wanted to bring it back, rework it and re-introduce it to the market.”
The Jordan Brand x Carmelo Anthony x rag & bone capsule is slated to launch in late September. Click here for more details.
