The esteemed Air Jordan 14 “Black Toe” is the last pair Michael Jordan wore while playing for the Chicago Bulls. Sporting these, he made the winning shot on June 14, 1998, leading the Bulls to a triumphant victory against the Utah Jazz. They eventually bagged their third consecutive NBA championship after Jordan’s historic shot.
MJ’s debut of the Air Jordan 14 then was the first and only time he wore them inside the court during a match. In fact, he almost did not wear the shoes that day. Sources state that designer Tinker Hatfield, after sending him the prototype, requested the athlete not to wear it. However, Jordan found the design so intriguing, that he wore it to the game, thus creating a legendary moment.
