Air Jordan XIV
Inspiration: Ferrari 550 Maranello
The Air Jordan XIV was one of the few sneakers in the Air Jordan series that was inspired by a specific car. In detail, Jordan’s Ferrari 550 Maranello was the focal point of this Tinker Hatfield/Mark Smith design Tinker. Released during the 1998-1999 NBA season, this shoe owned a number of Ferrari-inspired attributes such as the Ferrari shield-esque Jumpman logo, a tread-like pattern at the heel and an air-intake vent on the medial side of the midsole. If you recall, the Air Jordan XIV was the last model Jordan sported before his second retirement.
