Jordan Brand brings back the Air Jordan 14 Forest Green for the first time since its 2005 debut. The release revisits a colorway that arrived seven years after the silhouette’s original introduction, pairing white leather with green details and metallic finishes. Its return adds a mid-2000s design to the current retro lineup while retaining the automotive references that shaped Michael Jordan’s fourteenth signature shoe.

The Air Jordan 14 holds a specific place in Jordan’s playing career as the last signature model he wore on court for Chicago. He debuted the silhouette during the 1998 NBA Finals and wore the black-and-red version when he hit his title-clinching shot against the Utah Jazz. That championship marked his sixth with the Bulls, connecting the model to his final season with the team.
Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith drew inspiration from Jordan’s interest in exotic sports cars, particularly Ferrari. The shield-shaped Jumpman emblem references the Italian manufacturer’s badge, while the shoe’s profile follows the same automotive direction. The original design incorporated an asymmetrical collar, breathable mesh vents, and dual Zoom Air units. Seven Jumpman logos on each shoe brought the total to fourteen per pair.
For “Forest Green,” smooth white leather covers the toe and heel, with tumbled leather panels introducing a different texture along the sides. Perforations and stitched lines articulate the upper. Green details appear on the shield badge, heel, tongue, and sculpted midsole sections, giving the predominantly white construction its identifying color. Light Graphite completes the official palette alongside Gorge Green and White.
Chrome details and carbon fiber accents continue the silhouette’s sports-car references. A carbon fiber shank occupies the midfoot beneath the leather upper, and the angular midsole carries green through its jagged sections. The combination preserves the original colorway’s arrangement, with the colored tooling and branding defining the design against the white body.
Air Zoom cushioning works with a foam midsole underfoot, and a rubber outsole provides traction. The leather upper completes a construction that retains the model’s basketball foundations. This edition brings those components together with the “Forest Green” treatment from 2005, marking the colorway’s first retro release after a twenty-one-year gap.
