I always loved these. I got my first summer job the summer after they released and had to settle for the lows as my first ever Air Jordans.

Hopefully these come out better than the 2007 retro, those were COMPLETE trash.
The OG on the other hand
Still have all of mine too, blk/red, UNC, obsidian, and the wht/red low. They're like 3 sizes too small though

I'm good.
My opinion on these is the same as Olive 9s: always thought they were ugly and will continue to think they're ugly.

I like the 15s. But I can't be myself paying $190 for them
I remember the Flint 15s where the last shoe my mom every came out the pocket for, I felt so guilty when she bought them for me.
After that I was hustling to scrap together to cop shoes

They retailed at 150 in dec 1999, so a price increase of 40 bucks.
When looking at AJ 3 - 10 they went from 110/125 to 190 this year. Selling the 11 for over 200 makes it clear that the retail set by nike has nothing to do with the Material/design cost but with the demand of consumers.

Yup, got mine off Swoosh for like $80 something.
15s is one of my favorite Jays of all time. Really regret selling mine. Had the white/red and white/purple too. Really regret letting them go. I look on eBay now and they're all priced through the roof. No idea why.
I remember getting the Flint OGs for Christmas from Eastbay for $49 back then. Loved them joints.

15's dropped my freshman year of high school. The only ones I saw people rocking were the UNC color way. They were pretty well disliked by many, don't know why people are warming up to them now, is it a generational thing? Nostalgia? They're bulky AF, but they made them that way to fit the baggy trend from those days. I couldn't warm up to 15s even if I was cremated in a pair.

The first time I saw the 15 I remember so clearly even though I was so young. I was on a 3rd grade bball team, I had the 14s the year before and was rocking the vindicates at the time... we were in a pre game meeting out in the hall and my teammate walks up wearing the black/red 15s. I was staring so hard lol that's all I remember is being in that hallway eyeing those shoes up like crazy. I thought the tongue was kinda weird at first but it instantly grew on me I remember loving that design inside the tongue you see when looking down at the shoe. I like the tongue although I think It could have been just a tad less sticking out like the lows and the jumpman all star which btw needs to retro. Ricky Davis rocked them in the 2000 dunk contest even though he was terrible at least the shoes looked good

Man, finally! I had these and then returned them to Nike on that flawed product return hustle to get the new OG white/grey/orange Shox! Crazy. I regretted doing after they made 50 colorways for 50 years of the Shox. First and maybe only one in line for these next year.

I remember back in the day, when it was damn near impossible to see the new Js before they came out, besides a goof from the eastbay catalog, pre season game, or MAYBE in a magazine, these were soooo weird to me when I finally saw them. Kicks magazine was brand new and had 1 pic. Back then, I always copped anyway because I always ended up liking the shoe in the end. These were so different from every other shoe, they had to Js. That used to be what made Js easier to spot on the court. These held true to that. Can't wait. Hypebeast won't want them. Hell, resellers will be dead by then. Maybe even MORE shoes in production....

It's a cool trend for us who appreciate the entire line of Jordan (Ok 1-23) to see these not so popular models being retroed but I think they're gonna sit and end up at the outlets (bad for Nike but good for us the consumers). I just can't see hype building up around the 15s unless Russ or some other superstar wears them.
Anyway there are some other models I'd like to see release rather than the 15s (I need the black/royal 18s to retro!) but nonetheless I will enjoy seeing them again.

The back of the first cw has to be one of the best out of any jordan.
Reminds me of darth vader for sum reason.
Out of all the ones he didn't wear these are the ones i wish he did.

Despite the sole ripping off on my first pair on the first day of playing in these, they are great hoop shoes. Have yet to wear my retros. Would be nice if they did some of those PEs

As long as I cried for a XV retro, I don't want to sound like I wouldn't be excited about the release. But I must be realistic, about 95% of JB consumers don't want these. You want to get the kids instead in the XVs? Bring out the lows first. Or the flint/obsidian colorways. you have all these people talking about how "ugly" the XV is, when none of them have EVER EVEN SEEN A FRESH PAIR OF THE GOOD colorways in person.
