The Nike
Air Jordan Evolution Continues
Air Jordan XIII - XV
Air Jordan XIII (1997)
Now that Nike and Air Jordan designer, Tinker
Hatfield were a little more prepared, they
were able to keep producing original designs
for the Nike Air Jordan line.
One of the nicest features of this Jordan
model was a hologram on the ankle showing
a basketball, the number 23, and the Jumpman
logo.
The low-top versions of the Jordan XIII
were released without this nifty feature
though, much to the disappointment of many.

Air Jordan XIV (1998)
The design of the Air Jordan XIV, inspired
by Michael Jordans Ferrari 550M, was a stroke
of sheer genius on the part of Hatfield
and fitting shoe to accompany Jordans second
retirement from the NBA.
The Jordan XIV is a sleek, performance driven
shoe that is as close to perfection as weve
tested.
Features include, laces with metal aglets
(the tips on the ends of the laces) and
seven Jumpman logos per shoes equaling a
total of fourteen. Overall, the Jordan
XIV is a stylish, lightweight shoe that
is perhaps the best Air Jordan model of
them all. >>

Air Jordan XV (1999)
The Jordan XV was the first shoe released
after its namesakes retirement, but despite
missing its endorser, the Air Jordan was
a decent product that sold fairly well.
With a designer look, based on NASAs 1950s
X-15 aircraft, the look of the shoe was
a radical change from its predecessors.
