Jordan Brand is officially bringing back the fan-favorite Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue” in Spring 2026, marking the first return of this sleek colorway since its original 2006 release.
The retro edition blends a stealthy black suede upper with eye-catching University Blue accents, delivering a clean, sporty look. With subtle silver touches and aerodynamic lines, the design pays homage to the Ferrari 550 Maranello—the inspiration behind the AJ14 silhouette. This was the last model Michael Jordan wore as a Chicago Bull, adding to its legacy appeal.
The “Black/University Blue” colorway also gives a subtle nod to MJ’s college roots at UNC. Key details include perforated side panels, smooth nubuck overlays, and signature blue hits on the midsole, tongue, and heel. The iconic Jumpman shield on the collar and the bold “23” logo on the heel complete the heritage look.
Performance-wise, Zoom Air cushioning, a carbon fiber shank, and a durable rubber sole with herringbone traction keep this sneaker rooted in functionality—even as it turns heads with its bold design.
No major updates or design changes have been confirmed for the 2026 version, but with Jordan Brand’s recent track record of faithful retros, expectations are high.
Retail Price: $200
Release Date: Spring 2026
Sneakerheads have waited nearly two decades for this comeback—and as hype builds, expect this retro to be one of the standout drops of the year.
