Ferrari Inspired
The Varsity Red on the 14 ‘Challenge Red’ base is eye catching. That red color way is inspired by a Ferrari, a favorite of Michael Jordan. The black details on the shoe, along with the yellow pops, will remind gear heads of the iconic sportscar. The chrome shank plate will also remind fans of the Ferrari’s front grille.
The Last Shot
The 14 was almost never worn by MJ on the court for the Chicago Bulls. Tinker Hatfield gave Jordan an early prototype of the shoe, but he asked MJ not to wear it. Jordan liked the 14 so much, and being Michael Jordan, Tinker’s request was ignored.
The GOAT would wear the 14 during the 1998 Finals. He would bring home his 6, and final, championship trophy in the shoe.
The Last Shot, arguably the most famous shot in the history of the NBA, was made by MJ in the XIV. Being on the feet of MJ, when he made that iconic bucket, has helped the XIV become a piece of history.
Closer Look At The 14
The 14 is considered one of the most comfortable Air Jordan sneakers ever. As far as comfort goes, the XIV is a revolutionary shoe in the line. The low cut design was chosen to give the wearer more speed and control.
The model comes with dual zoom units and breathable mesh vents on the outsole. The Air Jordan 14 was the first model to have silver tips on the laces. They also had a Jumpman logo on them.
Tinker was inspired by the Ferrari 550M when it came to the design of the 14. The Ferrari 550M is one of Jordan’s favorite cars.
