Jordan 14 Retro Redwood

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.

A black alternative to the white Retro 14, the Redwood Jordan 14, also referred to as the Air Jordan 14 All Black, is a fresh take on the classic style. The Jordan 14 Retro Low features a black suede upper with black mid and outsoles. The black even follows into the details of the shoe such as the tongue, laces, and heel giving the Redwood colorway its nickname, All Black. Jordan branding can be seen on the heel of the Air Jordan 14 Black, and there is an enclosed black and white Jumpman logo on the side.
