I never tried the 14s but how is the area where the balls of your feet are? My biggest problem with ball shoes is when it pinches the lateral ball of my foot and it starts cramping from being constricted. This is why the kobe 9s are so good for me because the knit stretches enough for me in that area.Feels really similar to the 14, but the battle Knit is more clingy to your foot. The heel area has the most room. I wouldn't say it is narrow at all.
I am going true to size for ball or casual. I usually wear Nike elite or stance performance socks to ball and it would snug it up just right so there is no movement.
I can't say enough how much better the Ashes look in person. There is almost a shine to the material. Best looking (at least the Ashes and model to me) since the 10 and 7, which are some of my favorites.
