The AJ 14 was inspired by Ferrari's F355F1, the first production Ferrari to be fitted with a F1 paddle-shift semi-auto transmission so that wannabe F1 lovers can pretend to be Michael Schumacher.

Its Ferrari inspired pedigree is evident in the shield-shaped Jumpman badge, the Rossa Corsa red shank plate and midsole air vent. Michael wore the black/red colourway in Game 6 of the 1997-98 NBA Finals. A phenomenal shoe, an unbelievable moment, a fairytale ending...

"I never say never, but it's 95, 99.9 percent."
- MJ at his second retirement news conference in Chicago's United Center on Jan 13, 1999.

"Babe Ruth, Joe Louis, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali... These are the athletes who defined sports in America this century. And now there is Michael Jordan."
- Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe




"In my life, I don't know that I ever saw another athlete with such a remarkable set of qualities of mind, body and spirit - not only somebody who had a body that would do things no one else's would do, but who always expected to do whatever it was he tried to do."
- President Bill Clinton
