Air Jordan 14 'Forest Green' — Release Date, Price & The Story

The drop at a glance

The story

The Air Jordan 14 — designed by Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith with lines borrowed from MJ's Ferrari 550 Maranello — is the shoe of the 1998 'Last Shot' in Utah. The 'Forest Green' colorway dropped once, in 2005, and has never been retroed; two decades of scarcity made it a quiet grail for 14 collectors.

Landing on Halloween, the 2026 return keeps the understated Gorge Green and Light Graphite blocking that made the original a wearable favorite. First-time-ever retros have been a reliable Jordan Brand formula lately, rewarding patient collectors over hype chasers.

The 14 isn't a mainstream silhouette, so expect solid sell-through and mild premiums rather than instant sellouts — but the 2005 heads will show up on day one.

The deep cuts

• The AJ14 was the first Air Jordan to carry 14 Jumpman logos — seven per shoe — a commemoration of the model number.
• The badge beneath the collar deliberately mimics Ferrari's shield-shaped crest, completing the 550 Maranello homage.
• The 'Last Shot' came June 14, 1998 — Game 6 in Utah, MJ's title-winning jumper over Bryon Russell in the black-and-red AJ14.
• The 2026 return lands 21 years after the colorway's only prior release and keeps the original's carbon-fiber shank plate.
