AIR JORDAN XIV The Air Jordan XIV originally released in 1998, boasting a Ferrari influenced design that served as an homage to Michael Jordan’s love for motorsports. The most beloved colorway of this late-era Tinker Hatfield model was the ‘Last Shot’, a black and red pair made famous by MJ during that iconic moment where he hit the winning shot in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals to win the Championship; said shot would be his last as a Chicago Bull.

Over the years we’ve seen some amazing (and questionable) colorways of Air Jordans and Air Jordan Retros surface on the web. In fact, there might be as many unreleased mock-ups as there are produced versions, but who knows what’s really stowed in the deep dark vaults inside the Jordan Brand headquarters and overseas factories? We’ve compiled a fairly thorough gallery of some notable Air Jordan sample colorways that have never seen the light of day at retail; some of these already have noted legends behind them, like the Air Jordan VI “Infrared” Retro with the flipped midsole and the Air Jordan V “Gold” that may or may not have been made for an employee, but some of the stuff we’ve come across cause us to question why the shoes were never released, or why they were created in the first place! Of course, this gallery isn’t a complete list of every unreleased sample, but take a moment to skim through the gallery below and let us know which unreleased Air Jordan sample catches your eyes the most.

The various Air Jordan XIV player exclusives floating around out there have had personal hits show up on a couple different sections of the sneaker. We’ve seen embroidered numbers up near the ankle and in the middle of the tongue, and we’ve also seen personalized logos for the top of the tongue. That detail points to the originally intended owner of these Air Jordan XIV Lows: Mike Bibby. The pair looks to be a relic from his Sacramento Kings days, although an exact production year is unknown thanks to the obscured inner tag. Get more on this Air Jordan XIV Low for Bibby below and then buy them from pmj_aka_heatbeast on eBay.

It appears that the massive “XX8 Days of Flight” set of Air Jordans given away by Jordan Brand has finally begun to make its way into the hands of the winners. You’ll recall that entry involved snapping a pic of yourself on Instagram using #XX8DaysofFlight wearing the Air Jordan model corresponding to that day. The black and green sneakers have popped up across Instagram, as the lucky Air Jordan enthusiasts who received their pairs have been eager to show them off (and it looks like Jordan Brand unknowingly selected one user to receive two pairs). Now that the pairs are out there, it will be a test of will power to see who ends up keeping these one of a kind sneakers in their personal collection and who ends up taking the “other” route to cash out, although the 1-of-1 factor might be to tough to let go! Check out most of the Air Jordan “XX8 Days of Flight” pairs that have been doled out right after the jump and tell us in the comments which pair is your favorite.

The deep stories and events that shadow every Air Jordan in history is what made the Retro such a booming success, and as far back as 1994, Nike made sure that we were reminded of the message behind each design. Since the first Air Jordan Retros in 1994 during MJ’s first retirement to all OG and Retro colorways that hit stores in the late 90′s and 2000′s, a tw0-sided post-card detailing a brief history of the shoe as well as an iconic flashback image of the times came included with the shoes; these cards have been referred to as Retro Cards, and while some may have not given them much though, some sneaker collectors did their best to gather them all. With the Air Jordan Retro Card making a surprising come-back with the upcoming Air Jordan VIII Retros and the possibility of more Retro Cards with future Retro releases, it’s about time we took a look back at every single Retro Card that Nike ever put out – from the first ones in 1994, to the latest ones that came accompanied with a Doernbecher release. Enjoy this throwback piece below and let us know which you’re missing from your set!

The art of sneaker collecting can get a bit obsessive to the point where one starts to hoard sneakers that aren’t his/her side. Of course, if you a have future sneakerhead tike on the way, amassing some Baby Air Jordans wouldn’t be a bad idea. Air Jordans have been a “full family size” thing for a while, with Sneaker News giving you a nice showcase of Baby Air Jordans and Nikes a few years back, but one collector who goes by the handle henry071 has a pretty impressive stash of his own. Air Jordans in OG and Retro form are all waiting to be rocked by his future child, so check out the highlights below and let us know if you’d rock your future little ones in heat!

Q-Rich’s stay in New York City in the mid-2000s produced one of the best collection of Air Jordan Retro PEs we’ve ever seen. It’s certainly a good sign that Jordan Brand went with classic Knicks colors twice in the last year (Air Jordan 1 High OG and the Air Jordan IV Retro), but we’d certainly like to see more down the line – wouldn’t you agree? This Air Jordan XIV is as clean as they come, using a primarily white leather upper with the blue/orange combo used on the upper for that Knicks uniformity, so check out the gallery below and throw in your offers in this live listing from thecoolshoeshine on eBay.

And we’re halfway there-the Air Jordan XIV marking the midpoint for the #XX8DaysofFlight count-up. You know the drill by now as far as the colorway is concerned. There’s black, there’s neon green, there’s only one pair in existence, and there’s a chance for you to win them by participating in the campaign on Instagram. Check back in with Sneaker News later in the day should any additional photos arrive and we’ll see you here at the same time tomorrow for the Air Jordan XV from the group.

Mitch Richmond was a dude who exited the league before the retro craze could really bubble up to the insane level that we’ve been at for the past three or four years, his last game being taking place with the Lakers back in 2002. Right before that era he served a three year stint with the Washington Wizards, a time that granted him some OG player exclusive heat in the form of this slightly patriotic looking Air Jordan XIV. Click through with us to check out the still deadstock original Mitch Richmond Air Jordan player exclusive and let us know if you think these are worth the price being asked by lacedsneakeraddicts on eBay.
