Carmelo Anthony’s Son Kiyan Anthony Has His Own Jordan 6 Low PE
Quick Facts
- Carmelo Anthony's son, Kiyan Anthony, is about to start his freshman year at Syracuse, just like his pops did.
- Kiyan has already earned special treatment from Jordan Brand with a Jordan 6 Retro Low PE.
- The low-top pair of 6s has a multi-color and multi-material finish
- Kiyan has a huge portfolio of brand partners, including American Eagle, AT&T, and Nerf, but for now, he’s still a sneaker free agent.
The NBA, college, and top high school hoops programs are full of second-generation superstars looking to make good on their family name. From Bronny and Bryce James to All-Stars like Klay Thompson and Steph Curry, familiar last names are becoming more common in the league every year. With a dad like Carmelo Anthony, Kiyan Anthony has some huge shoes to fill, and as he gets set to start his freshman year at Syracuse, just like pops did, Kiyan has already earned special treatment from Jordan Brand.
A never-before-seen multi-colored Air Jordan 6 PE for Kiyan has appeared online. The low-top pair of 6s is a smorgasbord of bright colors and premium materials, with blue perforated leather on the toe, green suede on the “23” support panels, orange reptile print on the side panels, and purple elephant-textured nubuck covering the entire heel. The back of the shoe brings all the colors together for an embroidered KIYAN logo.
Carmelo Anthony is a Jordan Brand legend, so it’s no surprise that Kiyan got the red carpet PE treatment, but so far, Kiyan hasn’t signed an NIL sneaker deal. He does have a huge portfolio of brand partners, including American Eagle, AT&T, and Nerf, but for now, he’s still a sneaker free agent. Is this PE Jordan’s way of hinting at something more coming, or just a nice perk of having Melo for a dad? Only time will tell.
Unless your last name is Anthony and you’ve got your own Syracuse jersey in the closet, you won’t be able to cop these. For shoes you can access, download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
