Release of the Air Jordan 14 OG Indiglo 1999

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.

History of Air Jordan 14

Originally released in 1997 and produced in its original generation through 1999 (and then re-issued as a “Retro” in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2014–2018), the Air Jordan 14 was the last model worn on the court by Jordan himself. Like nearly all of the Air Jordans produced during Michael Jordan’s playing career (except models I and II), the 14s were designed by legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield—this time with the help of designer Mark Smith.

Jordan 14 OG Indiglo 1999

The low-cut Indiglo original colorway debuted on the Air Jordan 14 silhouette in 1999. A black tumbled leather upper coats the side panels, tongue, and heel, while a suede black covers the toe and ankle overlays. Black continues on the laces, inner sock liner, on a portion of the midsole, and on the bottom arch. The sneaker's signature Indiglo accents appear on the top of the tongue, the heel tab, the Jordan Jumpman emblem on the lateral side, and the Jumpman logo on the shoe's bottom tread. White appears on the rest of this sneaker, coating the heel with a white Jumpman logo and a white number 23. White carries down to the midsole and outer sole, where tread gives this sneaker added traction.
