The Air Jordan 14 "Forest Green" is set to retro for the first time since its original 2005 release, arriving October 31, 2026 for $215 under style code 487471-300. The colorway never became an instant classic in its original run and rarely shows up on "best of" lists for the silhouette, but it has built a cult following among collectors over the two decades it spent out of rotation.
The shoe keeps a white leather upper with the model's signature perforated side panels, a design detail originally meant to echo the airflow vents on a high-performance sports car — the Jordan 14's entire silhouette was conceived as an homage to Michael Jordan's Ferrari 550 Maranello. Forest green appears on the midsole "teeth," heel branding, and shield badge, with black accents and a carbon-fiber shank plate underfoot and a clean white outsole. It is a quieter release than louder recent Jordan 14 colorways like the "Candy Cane," closer in tone to the "Black Toe" retro that brought the silhouette back in 2024.
Jordan Brand has kept the Jordan 14 on an uneven retro schedule compared to models like the 1 and 4 — this is the colorway's first time back on shelves since 2005, giving collectors who missed it the first real shot at an original pair, now reproduced to spec. It releases in adult and grade-school sizing through Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers, part of the same October calendar that includes the Air Jordan 1 "Royal" and the rest of the month's Jordan Brand drops, and follows this year's outside-designer pivot for the silhouette with the Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 "Burnt Red."
