The

Air Jordan XIV

1997–1998

The Air Jordan XIV was introduced during the final week of the 1997–98 season, with no documented use prior to the NBA Finals. The model appeared in early-stage form, reflecting pre-release or sample-level production rather than a fully established retail version.

Jordan wore the XIV selectively during the Finals, including in Game 6, where he secured his sixth championship. As a result, the model is directly tied to the closing sequence of his Bulls career, with documented use concentrated within that championship context rather than extended seasonal rotation.
