Jordan 14 OG Low Columbia

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.

Jordan 14 OG Low Columbia 1999

As a tribute to Michael Jordan's college team, the University of North Carolina, the Jordan brand released the original Columbia colorway in 1999 as a new addition to the Air Jordan 14 low-top silhouette. A white leather coats the entire upper, with a stitched, perforated design appearing on the side panels. White continues on the toe top, eyelets, laces, tongue, inner sock liner, and outer sole. Designed to mimic the look of a sports car, this sneaker features a Jordan Jumpman crest stamped into its lateral side. Columbia Blue accents introduce themselves on the tongue tab and on the breathable midsole. This original Columbia colorway made its way to shelves in select stores across the United States on August 4, 1999.
