Air Jordan 14 Retro – White – Varsity Red – Black | 3/10/12

(Retail $160)

An overwhelming majority of Air Jordan Retro releases focus on Michael Jordan’s career with the Chicago Bulls, the Fifteen as of this date the only one that debuted after his second retirement to return outside of the 2008 Collezione Packages. The Air Jordan XIV Retro pictured above only sneaks into the majority by a technicality, itself never appearing in an NBA game after Mike hung up his ‘Last Shots’ in 1998. So this model finds itself in a curious niche that’s somewhat similar to the IXs and Xs in that you can’t help but imagine what it would have been like for His Airness to remain active in the NBA and wearing these. Could the 50-game 1999 schedule have provided the aging Bulls an opportunity for the ever elusive four-peat? These are the kinds of questions we’ll never get to answer, which add an extra layer of intrigue to the return of the second OG AJXIV colorway.
