Jordan XIV Black Toe - November 2, 2024

I don’t even remember the 2014s. Prob just passed on them like most Jordan’s during that time. Like I said before, I’m annoyed at how bad these are because we’ve gotten quality releases the last few years and this doesn’t fit in with them. This is some cheap lazy attempt at one of the best in the line.
I passed on the 2014s , but these look better imo... not as good as the OG or the 2006 ribbed version but still wearable. That plush feeling ain't there and probably won't ever be there again .. I feel bad paying retail on these but it's a lifestyle shoe that I'll wear 4x-5x a year for the next few years... ehhhh
 
happy with mine, idk what yall talking about.

If you never had the OG or 2006 version , then this is a good release... it's like you don't know what you could of had if you never had it before type of thing... I see where yall coming from in terms of quality... the reason I passed on the last two iterations of the last shots. .. couldn't bring myself to it.
 


My review…

My only issue is i wish they would have rounded out the lateral side of the toe. Did good on the medial following the tooth but lateral comes down at a slant verse a nice curve.
Also like how your photos show the OGs had tumbled panels which are even more pronounced on this release. Pair should be in tomorrow so hopefully they come out nice.
 
Went to a local Nike store for some works shoes and happen to see these on the clearance shelf for 40% off. Had an extra 10% for my bday. Can’t complain on that price point!
No, seriously man. Screw you! Even tho I just got my pair. I aint gonna congratulate your victory. I hope you step on a pile of legos you heathen! How dare you share that. Im hella hatin :smh:
 
Not liking what I'm seeing from these pictures lol mine arrive tomorrow from Nice Kicks. I had og indiglo and last shot 14s but have only had the 2014 version of this colorway. Oh well moving on to the next release

Got my pair in today... Overall nice shoe. The side panels are super stiff almost like cardboard. The Last Shots are super plush in comparison. The heel cup is stiff as well. The inside padding isn't as cushioned as the Last Shots either. The ventilation vents on the sides of the Black toes are smaller in comparison to the Last Shots.

Returned my pair to FTL last night. Good riddance. I looked at them one final time beforehand and realized the foam that shows through the outsole pattern is different than what it used to be, too, though I know people have said these are more comfortable underfoot than at least the 2014s. The more of these changes I notice, the more I roll my eyes at Nike/JB once again.
