nearly 30 years ago, during Michael Jordan's final season with the Chicago Bulls in 1998, he won the NBA Finals for the sixth time and then retired from the NBA (for the second time). Throughout MJ's "last dance" with the Bulls, he wore the Nike Air Jordan 14. And to celebrate Jordan's love for fast cars, the sports apparel company are re-releasing the sneakers with a new "speedster" colorway.

Available for $215 on nike.com, the Nike Air Jordan 14 Retro "Challenge Red" sneakers feature a "Ferrari"-inspired design with metallic-like cuts to their sports car-esque crest. The signature shoes are lightweight, comfortable and made for basketball on a hardwood or blacktop court with their pronouced lines and classic silhouette.

The new sneakers drop on Saturday, June 14, at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT.

The shoes' uppers are made from a blend of high-quality real and synthetic leathers for shape and durability, while they have a strip of black textile material running around their toe caps. The lace loops add security, support and style with a bit of subtly. Their midsole even features Nike's encapsulated Zoom Air cushioning for springiness and bounce.

Additionally, the sneakers feature Jordan's name at the top of each tongue, while Jordan's "Jumpman" logo sits at the top of the heel with his No. 23 are placed underneath. There's even a Roman numeral "XIV" at the bottom of each sole.

The design and silhouette are classic, while the style of the sneakers are very late-'90s basketball, as one of Michael Jordan's most iconic eras at the end of his career with the Chicago Bulls. These Nike Air Jordan Retro 14 sneakers come in a challenge red, vibrant yellow, anthracite and Black colorway.
