Air Jordan 14 'Black/University Blue' Returns in March
Jordan Brand is mining the 2000s vault once more, bringing back the Air Jordan 14 in its original 'Black/University Blue' colorway. The silhouette, last seen in 2006, is confirmed for a March debut—marking the model's first official retro since its initial run.
The Air Jordan 14 occupies an interesting place in the broader Jordan legacy. Designed during a transitional era, the silhouette never achieved the canonical status of its predecessors, yet it carries design DNA worth revisiting. This particular 'Black/University Blue' iteration represents a measured, understated approach to the model—one that leaned on clean color blocking rather than aggressive ornamentation.
The black leather base provides the foundation, anchored by hints of university blue that puncture the composition with restraint. It's the kind of colorway that suggests Jordan Brand's current aesthetic philosophy: depth through subtlety rather than immediate visual noise.
Jordan Brand's recent strategy has increasingly favored excavating early-2000s designs from its archive. The Air Jordan 14 fits that timeline perfectly—far enough removed from contemporary design trends to feel fresh, yet close enough to modern sensibilities to avoid feeling purely nostalgic.
Official retailer imagery has surfaced, confirming the release mechanics and construction details. The uppers maintain the original's structural integrity, with the characteristic mid-panel design and ankle collar proportions intact.
