Air Jordan 14

Nike designers Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith teamed up once again for the Air Jordan XIV worn by Michael during the 1998 Finals, it was the last shoe he wore as a Chicago Bull.

Jordan hit the infamous "last shot" against the Utah Jazz while wearing the Black-Red colorway. Seven years later, many Brand Jordan athletes wore the Retro version of the XIV on the court when shoes were hitting at retail. The idea for the XIV was modeled after Michael's love for cars, inspired specifically from a Ferrari. The Air Jordan XIV boasted a Ferrari-like shield featuring a Jumpman logo. In fact, the design of the AJ XIV included seven Jumpman logos on each shoe for a total of 14 per pair. The Jumpman logo can be seen on the side heel, outsole, insole, back heel, toe and on the metal lace tips.

The asymmetrical collar provided support, while mesh vents made for a breathable cooling system. Low-profile heel and forefoot Zoom Air made the Air Jordan XIV a comfortable ride, and many athletes consider the AJ XIV one of the best performance basketball shoes of all time.

The XIV was originally released in five mids and three low tops in 1998 and 1999. It was re-released in 2005 and 2006 in 10 total colorways. The popular "Last Shot" XIVs were brought back along with a variation of the White/Red colorway. One of the most sought-after AJ XIV models, the Indiglos, have yet to be re-released by Brand Jordan.
