Jordan Brand plans to rerelease the Air Jordan 14 in black and university blue on March 21, 2026, marking the first retro since its original 2006 debut. The sneaker features a black suede upper with university blue accents and draws inspiration from Michael Jordan's Ferrari. Retail prices start at $210 for men's sizes, with family sizing available.
The Air Jordan 14 black university blue colorway, originally released in 2006, is returning after two decades as a retro edition. This release commemorates the 20th anniversary of its debut, during a period when Jordan Brand was retroing classic models and introducing new colorways. The sneaker gained fame from Michael Jordan's use in three NBA Finals games, including his final shot with the Chicago Bulls.
Design details include a black suede or nubuck upper, with university blue accents on the Ferrari-inspired badging on the collar, neoprene on the heel, portions of the sole unit, Jumpman logo on the toe, Jordan text on the tongue, and “23” on the heel tab. Additional features are a metallic silver shank in the midsole, a white carbon fiber shank plate, black rubber outsole with blue detailing for traction, black laces, and lining. The style number is 487471-002.
Inspired by Michael Jordan's Ferrari 550 Maranello sports car, the low-profile silhouette maintains a racing aesthetic. Recent Air Jordan 14 releases have been limited, with one non-golf version in the previous year and two colorways—Flint Grey and Black Toe—in 2024. Jordan Brand has upcoming plans for more 14s, including a collaboration with Mowalola.
The sneaker will launch on March 21, 2026, through Nike SNKRS, Nike, and select retailers online and in-store, in full-family sizing. Pricing is set at $210 for men's, with gradeschool at $155, preschool at $95, and toddler at $80, though some reports list the men's price as $205.
