Today's Carmelo Anthony-inspired "MOP" Air Jordan 9 isn't the only Melo release on the horizon.

Jordan Brand will also be taking it back to where it all started with the return of the Jordan Melo 1.5 in a colorway inspired by Anthony's "Hoodie Melo" alter ego. This pair drives the inspiration home with french terry materials across the black-based upper and a "XLT" ankle tag as a nod to Melo's extra-large tall hoodie size.  On the medial section, Thunder colors fill in the Wings logo embroidery and Air emblem.

Despite being nearly 15 years old, the Melo 1.5 has seen some on-court use from Anthony this season, most notably in an unreleased "Chinese New Year" colorway and several elephant print-covered PEs.

This "Hoodie Melo" Jordan Melo 1.5 is expected to release Tuesday, May 1 from SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers in both men's and kid's sizing.
