Jordan XIV Black Toe - November 2, 2024

[subtlewordplay]

Our Internet back then .

Damn nostalgia... I remember I had this issue. Parents weren't buying me Js back then. At the time I think I was rocking my black and white Garnett Max Uptempo 3.0 proudly. LOL

I remember seeing Kadeem Hardison wear these on a late night show or something before they came out, and knowing without knowing... I said to myself, "those must be the new Jordans" walking up to the tv and trying to see every corner of em. That was our IG, our internet.... there was no zSneakerheadz. Just chance and word of mouth...

Word.
I remember watching Nas perform If Ruled The World on Showtime at the Apollo and looking at his feet, I was like that has to be the new Air Jordan. A Foot Action employee let me see the release calendar and compared to what I had seen, they were indeed the Taxis.

Might be alone in this, but I like em way more with the ridges. Didn't have the OGs but did have the 2006 retroes, and I loved them. Hoping for a discount...

Been out the sneaker game for a minute. Does finishline and jd still do EA? I need a pair of these

It's a few days late but it's still valuable information. EA as of now just depends on the hype of the shoe and when the shipment really arrives. My store didn't get ours in until Tuesday with more still arriving Wednesday. My guess on the next shoe that will be EA is for sure the BC3's

Spoiler

just joking

Really wish the 2006 retro would return at some point. Really miss my pair. Very unpopular opinion I’m sure but give me the 2006 w/ ribs over the OG any day. 14s just look better with the ribs.

Have had every iteration of the shoe and will 100% die on this hill. Ribs >. Top 5 Jordan all time and soty for me regardless though.

Flame suit on, but I'd love to see a Black/Red non-ribbed version.

Facts. It just adds something to the shoe. A lil bland w/out it but still dope nonetheless

I just feel like the lack of ribs on these makes them a bit more formal looking. It works.

 

[OldManJays]

I prefer ribless myself. Cleaner look, though it’s not a huge deal. The 14 is a great looking shoe regardless. The sleekest in the original lineup imo.

I haven’t owned a pair of Black Toes since the OG so I’m looking forward to having my pair in hand.

 

[charmcitykid]

Definitely better in og form without ribs, although ribs actually don't look bad on this c/w. Speaking of OGs, are the "teeth" pearl like they posed to be or they white again?

I had those too and I loved them... definitely underrated

Ribbed, for their pleasure

+1 for ribs baby

Where's the restock!!?!!

Where's the restock!!?!!

Stores are getting late shipments so you might have some luck in the next couple days.

 

[vig09]

Walked into local finishline line in Tom’s River , NJ and boom sz 12 available

Same

It’s super dry in my area for these. Gonna try and do a little footwork later. Already tried 3 stores, not a pair in sight. If JD doesn’t have them resell it is

 

[72and10]

Let’s see some comparisons with these, the 2016, the 2006, and the originals!

Also, how’s the leather on these? Stiff as a board? Lol

 

[trappedintime]

I’m gonna post comparisons to the 2014 black toes. Sadly no longer have my OG pair but I know they’re gonna be much better than the 14’s.

Besides the leather being higher quality and the toe shape being fixed, they actually produced it correctly without the over exaggerated piping down the tongue. It’s an atrocious detail on the 2014’s. They look fake.

 

[titalwaves]

Got my shipping notification for both pairs just last night

 

[g-time]

Mine SNKRS pair shipped too

 

[ill4eva]

These sold out in Canada, which is honestly kind of surprising since most models sit for a few days.

 

[Majorbread]

I’m nervous my size is going to be too small

 

[Betonblck]

How is the comfort. I had to sell my 2014s because they were horrible to walk in. It felt like the toebox had no cushioning and was hard as a rock.
