Welcome back fam, Sole Redemption missed you! Check out the latest Sneaker News.
The Air Jordan XV (15) was released in 1999/2000.
This was it. The first shoe after Michael’s retirement. It could’t have been easy for Nike/JB to decide to release a shoe when the athlete that was 100% connected to this product had just retired. But the decision turned out to be good.
Prada rip-off or original flying design? The design of the XV’s originated from the air craft X-15 which was developed by NASA during the 1950’s and was, to say the least, a bit radical.
The tongue of the shoe was sticking out in a style that very much made your thoughts go directly to Michael himself and his tounge sticking out. The sides of the shoe were in a woven pattern.
Many people said this was a rip-off of a Prada shoe when it comes to the red stripe at the back of the shoe. Maybe the Prada shoes were inspiration sources for Hatfield as well, but that’s very uncertain.
The slip-on Moc This time there were not only high and low-tops released but also so called Mocs. Stylish and cool to be worn in summertime or on the beach but maybe not that great to ball in.
If there were many factory variants when it came to the XIV’s then we’d have to say that for the XV’s there was an army of them. Once again in horrible colors and very bad quality.
