Jordan 14 Retro muestra la historia de vuelo

The Jordan 14s possess an outsized presence in the history of sneaker and basketball culture. When Michael Jordan sank a 20-foot jump shot with 5 seconds left on the clock in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, he clinched the sixth series win in eight years for the Chicago Bulls. It was the last shot of that momentous game, the last shot of the series, and the last shot of his career with the Bulls. It was in every sense the last shot of an era, and Mike made it wearing the Air Jordan 14s in Black/Black-Varsity Red, a colorway that would forever after be known as “Last Shot.”

So important was this moment in the history of both the Jordan line and the history of basketball that Nike has re-released the “Last Shot” colorway more than once – in 2005, 2011, and then again in 2018 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of that incredible basket.

Beyond the history-making moment of MJ’s final career basket, the 14s quickly achieved a wild popularity. Just two months after the 14s’ release, Footaction ranked it in position 82 on their list of the 100 best athletic shoes ever produced.

The Air Jordan 14 History of Flight features a white perforated leather upper with a white midsole and heel. Red can be seen on the collar lining and outsole for a bright pop of color. Smooth white overlays go across the side and front of the upper. On the heel of the sneaker is Jordan branding in a matching red. The laces on the Air Jordan 14 white and red are a contrasting gray. On the bottom of the Jordan 14 Retro Low is another large Jumpman logo toward the heel of the rubber outsole.
