The Air Jordan 15 (XV) Retro - Black / Varsity Red were released on November 15, 2007, and retailed for $150. They feature an all black upper constructed from full grain leather, as well as a woven material which runs across the top half of the upper. The heel counter also features a red strip which runs vertically down it. The extension of the tongue is said to be inspired by Michael Jordan himself, as he would always stick out his tongue when he just about to skool you. The shoe itself is said to be inspired by the ultra fast X-15 Fighter Jet, which was developed by NASA during the 1950's, but it's hard to see the resemblance, as all we see is a very ugly shoe. Although the shoe's midsole fits loosing, which makes the wearer prone to ankle sprains, the shoe features other specifications include a hidden lace system, seamless dynamic fit sleeve and Zoom Air insoles. They also feature an injected TPR external heel counter for additional support. The outsole is constructed from two pieces with extended wraps, as well as rubber herringbone pods for increased traction. O yeah, by the way, these were a Flight Club exclusive, so if you actually did want these, you had to pay an arm and a leg, as they were highly exclusive.
