The NBA stands on the verge of losing regular season games to a labor dispute for the first time since 1998, leaving basketball fans around the world desperately hoping for the owners and players to successfully complete a new deal before we get too far into fall. Aside from the availability of tall guys to help you handle tough tasks around the house, the only silver lining on the 1998 lockout was that the memory of Michael Jordan shutting down the Utah Jazz in their own building, was allowed to linger for nearly six months before another game tipped. The Air Jordan XIV Retro ‘Last Shot’ is syonymous with that storybook ending, a model that marks MJ’s second retirement and reminds ESPN Classic viewers why the sports media consistently tries to hype up the newer generation of stars in the hope they might appear to approach Jordan’s unsurmountable legacy. Click on the jump below so you can see some more images of the shoe that is, perhaps more than any other single model/colorway, associated with coming through in the clutch, and stick with Sneaker News for updates as the December release date approaches. via Taobao
