Michael Jordan debuted the Air Jordan XIV in the 1998 NBA Finals, with a game 6 performance that saw the Black Cat absolutely dominate the ball in the last 90 seconds punctuated by a 17 foot jumper from just above the elbow that will forever be known as ‘The Last Shot’. It was almost like MJ saw the whole thing coming and broke out a brand new sneaker that would soon bear the same moniker, but we shouldn’t forget about the kicks he was wearing at home during the entire playoff run up to that point. The Air Jordan 13 ‘Playoffs’ was also Mike’s 1998 All Star Game sneaker choice, with that year’s ASG going for an MLB-style wear-your-team’s-uni-look. Some have even called them the ‘All Star’ AJ13s, but no matter the nickname, this all-black mix of leather and suede looks amazing some 12 years later.
