The Air Jordan 14 (XIV) Original (OG) - Black / Black - White - Indiglo was released on June 12, 1999, and retailed for $150. They feature a black upper constructed from a combination of leather and durabuck, as well as an all white sole, which contrast from the upper, drawing plenty of attention to the shoe. The Air Jordan 14 (XIV) has some interesting history behind it, as it was inspired b the Ferrari F355F1, the first production Ferrari to be fitted with an F1 paddle shift semi automatic transmission. these inspirations can be observed in the shield- shaped Jumpman badge, the Rossa Corsa shank plate and midsole air vent. They are also the lightest Air Jordans to date. Their other specifications include low profile Zoom Air units, a carbon fibre sheath, medial air vents, a phylon midsole, and a quick lace system. They also have great traction due to the excellent herringbone pattern on the outsole.
