This pair of Air Jordan XV low-top sneakers are not only dual-signed by Michael Jordan they are believed to have been worn by His Airness as well. After Jordan announced his retirement after the 1998 season designer Tinker Hatfield was once again challenged to design a shoe that MJ was never supposed to wear on the court. Hatfield found inspiration in the X-15 fighter plane from the 1950s which at the time set numerous speed records. It was the Hatfield's final Air Jordan design before a 5-year absence. The Air Jordan XV was released in four colorway versions in 1999-2000. The XV was also released in player exclusive colors. Several Team Jordan athletes including Mike Bibby Michael Finley Ray Allen and Reggie Miller wore these kicks during games.

These white and navy blue Air Jordan XV colorways are made of white leather canvas with blue on the interior sides outsole and front tips. Jumpman logo on the insole (next to "XV") tongue outside ankle and outsole. "JORDAN" stamped on the rear heel in blue. Tinker Hatfield's XV design is creative and symbolic with woven Kevlar material on each side of the laces a fully molded Pebax® reinforced heel counter and a large mesh tongue that sticks out as if to mimic MJ during flight. The heel counter extends to the outsole and has "2.17" to commemorate Jordan's Feb. 17 birthday. The shoes have a hidden speed lacing system and feature a full Zoom Air-Sole for cushioning. On the tongue is the "03-17-00" manufacturing date and "000305 Y3" to denote the colorway version and not-for-public consumption. They come in Jordan's size 13 and show definite signs of wear from game use. Unfortunately there is no info from the consignor as to the when and where they were put to use. Jordan has autographed the left shoe on the outside in 9/10 bright blue Sharpie.
