The ‘Hoodie Melo’ Jordan Melo 1.5 SE has surfaced in a striking OKC colorway overseas thanks to the homie id4shoes.
In April, WearTesters reported that a triple black Jordan Melo 1.5 ‘Hoodie Melo’ would be releasing on Nike SNKRS in limited numbers. That release was scheduled for May 1, but now, it appears that a new Melo 1.5 ‘Hoodie Melo’ will be releasing soon.
While the triple black Melo 1.5 SE PE opted for a leather and suede build, this bright orange OKC-themed Melo 1.5 uses a durable woven upper with faux croc leather at the heel and toewrap. The tongues retain their chenille accents, an homage to Carmelo Anthony’s infamous headband, while black branding hits either side of the heel.
Interestingly, this release will come with hangtags that inform customers about the shoe’s design inspiration, Carmelo himself, and his jersey. For cushioning, the Melo 1.5 SE utilizes a foam midsole with a full-length encapsulated Air-Sole unit.
There is no official word yet on when to expect the Jordan Melo 1.5 ‘Hoodie Melo’ to release in this OKC colorway Stateside but stay tuned for updates. Expect it to release for $140.
Which Melo 1.5 SE PE are you feeling most, the triple black or this bright orange build?

Could’ve done without the patch on the side(should’ve just kept it embossed), I still love this design though, it’s super functional, and looks awesome.
