The XIV was modeled after Michael Jordan's tattoo with its sleek design and logo. There are over nine colors of the Air Jordan XIV model including his Chicago Bulls uniform colorway, white, red and black.

It is regarded as the best Jordan in terms of performance even when compared to current basketball shoes.

As an added feature, there are seven Jumpman logos on each shoe, and 14 overall on the pair.

The black/varsity red - black version is sometimes referred to as the "Last Shots" because Jordan was wearing them during Game Six of the 1998 NBA Finals when he made the game-winning shot over Utah Jazz forward Bryon Russell to clinch the championship for the Chicago Bulls. It was the only time in Jordan's professional career he wore this particular model.
