We find the Jordan XV, ummm...difficult, but we can get on with the Jordan chapter that preceded it. 1998's XIV wasn't as good as the XIII — especially for us conservative Brits. The Lows were ugly compared to the mids and we still (controversially) don't think the leather and Durabuck mixes worked as well as the solitary material upper on the 1999 White/Varsity Red editions and some of the 2005 retros benefited from a simplicity that let the rest of the shoe's lunacy sink in a little.
It's a known fact that if you're going to make a Jordan that deviates from the original colourway, you should go grey, and these Light Graphites (with some subtle navy hits to make it a little bit Hoyas too) make the shoe look as appealing as its going to get if you're approaching from a more conservative, non-performance standpoint. Still, we respect how these retained the lineage from the prior chapter but took a completely different tact, with a car rather than feline on the mood board this time,
With Jordan zipping around in a Ferrari during the fourteenth Jordan's early design stage, that became the inspiration for the XIII, from the shield Jumpman branding to the aerodynamic aesthetic. The extended medial height for ankle support even nodded to part V but it was the little touches like the visible lightweight plastic shank plate, hidden Zoom Air and metal mesh vent that pushed this one forward, with the claw-like midsole's grasping shape at the forefoot stopping things from getting too Euro on us. Even compared to everything that followed, the Jordan XIV is incredibly comfortable and the lack of grams remains notable. This model is still extremely unorthodox, but fans won't be disappointed when these arrive in the Crooked Tongues store this coming Saturday...
