About Air Jordan 15 (XV)
The
Air Jordan XV (15) was released in 1999/2000.
This was the first shoe after Michael's retirement. The design of the XV's originated from the air craft X-15 which was developed by NASA during the 1950s and was, to say the least, a bit radical.
The tongue of the shoe was sticking out in a style that very much made the owners' thoughts go directly to Michael himself. The sides of the shoe were in a woven pattern.
The
Jordan 15's were the first
Air Jordan's to be negatively received in a while (the last being the
Air Jordan 2's).
