The legend of Michael jordan’s final shot with the Chicago Bulls is so well-rehearsed, it almost feels mythical. In the 1997-98 NBA Finals, the Chicago Bulls were on the cusp of achieving their second three-peat.With seconds ticking away against the Utah Jazz, the ball was in the hands of none other than Jordan. A swift move, a jump, and with 7.2 seconds left, the shot went in. John Stockton’s subsequent miss sealed the victory. The Bulls won. They always did.

That moment marked the last time Michael Jordan wore a Chicago Bulls jersey, and it was also the franchise’s last NBA Finals win.It was no accident that he immortalized another career highlight in an iconic sneaker: the Air Jordan 14. The colorway became known as ‘The Last Shot,’ a fitting title for the end of the Bulls’ dynasty and a chapter in Jordan’s storied career.

While Michael Jordan later played for the Wizards, and Air Jordans continue to evolve with new models like the upcoming Air Jordan 40 in 2025, the Air Jordan 14 remains a symbol of a bygone era. The ‘Ferrari’ colorway, originally released in 2014, stands out as a popular iteration. The design, including the original color schemes, was inspired by Jordan’s affinity for high-performance sports cars, particularly his Ferrari 550 Maranello.
