Public School returned to New York Fashion Week on Wednesday after a seven-year hiatus, and the label is picking up right where it left off for sneaker collaborations.

The Public School x Air Jordan 15 sees Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne return to one of the more undersung Air Jordans and one they collaborated on in 2017. The shoe is rendered entirely in black, swapping its Kevlar weave for suede. At the tip of the pointed tongue comes Public School’s “WNL” logo, which stands for “We Need Leaders.”

Alongside its return to the Air Jordan 15, Public School also revealed a more extreme transformation for the recently revived Air Max Goadome. Officially dubbed the Air Max Goadome Cowboy Boot, the black leather shoe has double monk strap embossed with Public School branding wrapping across the tongue.

Originally released in 1999, the Air Jordan 15 was the first model to release after Michael Jordan’s second retirement. The Tinker Hatfield design is inspired by the X-15, then the fastest jet in the world, and was also the first Air Jordan to feature a woven upper.

Historically, the Air Jordan 15 been one of the least popular of Jordan’s signature shoes, but there is a segment of people who appreciate its oddball design, including Billie Eilish, who collaborated on it in 2021 and calls it her favorite Air Jordan.

No release information has been announced for the Public School x Air Jordan 15 and Air Max Goadome Cowboy Boot, but they are expected to release as part of the brand’s fall 2026 collection. Footwear News will keep you abreast of any updates.
