The Air Jordan XVs were released in 1999–2000. Reggie Miller wore it during the 2000 NBA Finals.

This was the first shoe after Jordan's retirement. The design of the XV's originated from the aircraft prototype X-15, which was developed by NASA during the 1950s. The sides of the XV were made from woven kevlar fibre. The Jordan XV's were the first Air Jordan's to be negatively received in a while (the last being the Air Jordan 2's), because the quality on the Jordan shoes was bad.

The Air Jordan XV was originally released from 1999 to 2000. It was re-released in 2007 and 2008.
