This fall, one of Michael Jordan’s most legendary yet underrated sneakers is making a long-awaited return. The Air Jordan 14 “Black Toe,” last seen on shelves in 2014, is back, bringing a piece of NBA history and an iconic design back to sneaker lovers worldwide.
The Story Behind the Air Jordan 14 and the “Last Shot”
The Air Jordan 14 holds a special place in basketball history. This model became iconic on June 14, 1998, when Jordan wore it for his game-winning “Last Shot” against the Utah Jazz, clinching the Bulls' sixth NBA title. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Ferrari-inspired sneaker was a prototype, and though Hatfield advised against wearing it, Jordan couldn’t resist debuting it in that unforgettable game. This bold moment sealed the Air Jordan 14’s place in sports and sneaker culture.
Design Details – The Distinctive Look of the “Black Toe”
Adorned in White, Black, Varsity Red, and Metallic Silver hues, the Air Jordan 14 boasts a sleek and timeless design. White smooth leather graces the panels, complemented by Black suede on the toe box, giving it the “Black Toe” name. The midsole, featuring Metallic Silver in the midfoot along with iconic “Jumpman” and “23” branding on the heels, is predominantly White. Varsity Red accents highlight the Jumpman on the toe, Jordan on the tongue, and detailed touches on the heels. Finally, a Black rubber sole with Metallic Silver elements completes the classic look.
What to Expect on November 2
Set to release on November 2, the Air Jordan 14 “Black Toe” will be available in “White/Black/Varsity Red/Metallic Silver” at a retail price of $210. With true-to-original detailing, this release will likely attract both collectors and new fans alike.
With its unique story and iconic, Ferrari-inspired design, the return of the Air Jordan 14 “Black Toe” is more than a re-release—it’s a tribute to one of Jordan’s greatest moments. Don’t miss out—mark your calendars for November 2!
