The
Air Jordan 14 (XIV) Retro - white / black / varsity redwere released on January 14, 2006, and retailed for $150. They feature
a leather construction with noticeable perforations that run along the sleek
lines on the upper, providing a way of ventilation for the bearer’s foot. They
feature a white color scheme along with red accents, which is most noticeable on
the support wraps located at the midsole area. The sleek design was not by
accident, and instead is modeled after one of Michael Jordan’s cars, his Ferrari
F355F1, which was the first production Ferrari to be fitted with an F1 paddle
shift semi automatic transmission. The back of the heel features both a stitched
Jumpman logo as well as a “23? stitched into the back. The
Air
Jordan 14 (XIV) is a very comfortable shoe, and a great basketball shoe, as
the herringbone pattern on the outsole provides great traction. The only knock
on these is that the support wraps tend to detach after a while, due to wear and
tear.
