Air Jordan 15 (XV) Original – OG Black / Varsity Red
Michael Jordan was gone from the NBA for the second time, but not the last. Sadly he retired before he could wear the Air Jordan 15 (XV) Original Black / Varsity Red in a NBA game. The best color-way for the Air Jordan 15 (XV) OG was the first to release in 1999.
The Air Jordan 15 (XV) OG Black / Varsity Red featured the tongue stuck out, which resembled when Michael Jordan soared to the basket with his tongue out, and a woven upper for flexibility. The numbers on the heel represent Michael Jordan’s number, number of Championships won, number of the Air Jordan model (15) and Michael Jordan’s birthday.

Since Michael Jordan retired once again, people started saying that the Air Jordan line should be discontinued. But of course, Tinker Hatfield, Micahel and the other designers thought otherwise.  It was time to look for inspirations, something different, something not previously used on another shoe.
So the idea of the Air Jordan 15 would be to pay respect to Michael and his years in the NBA. The X-15 fighter plane came into mind at the moment. This plane broke the speed records, and set its own at 4,502 miles per hour. The X-15 is the best there ever was, just like Michael.
 Rumor also has it that the tongue on the Air Jordan XV is inspired by Michael Jordan, since he always sticks his tongue out when he goes for a dunk, shot, or layup.
Some nice features of the Air Jordan XV are the hidden quick-lace system, seamless dynamic-fit sleeve, Kevlar mesh uppers, Zoom Air sole, rubber herringbone pods, injected TPR external heel counter, and a breathable leather pattern. So the question is, how would the Air Jordan XV do with the consumers?
