The Materials:
CLOT x Air Jordan 14 | $200 | Jan. 11, 2021
Sometimes less is more when it comes to materials and in this case, CLOT x Jordan have chosen to take heed to this design philosophy and keep things simple with this iteration.
The varying textures of suede that dominate the shoe’s upper gives off “premium vibes” and moves this shoe closer to the “lifestyle” side of the spectrum.

“...This Air Jordan 14 utilizes a mix of matted suedes and earthy textures to create a look that’s equal parts ancient and innovative.”
The Colorway:

The SHOE’S Upper
Grabbing many of its design and color cues from the Jordan 13 that released back in 2018, this iteration features a similar color palette comprised of varying beige tones that blend together seamlessly.
The tongue, sock-liner, and decorative side-panel stitching are all a lighter beige, while the rest of the shoe’s upper are a slightly darker beige.
Rounding out the upper design, are “black” hits that appear on the backtab and tongue which give the shoe a nice touch of visual interest.
The SHOE’S Midsole
The shoes midsole brings a lot of visual interest to the shoe with the “Terra-Blush” design elements which pop well against the remaining beige hits that blend in perfectly with the upper.
Around back, the “black headlights” that appear on the lower portion of the shoe are subtle, but help complete the shoe’s look.

Release Info:
CLOT x Air Jordan 14 | $200 | Jan. 11, 2021
Don’t get it twisted. Despite this shoe’s polarizing aesthetics, as mentioned earlier, this is an extremely limited shoe that’s in high demand which will result in an instant sellout. Genuine sneakerheads and resellers alike will both be going after these with a vengeance and you can expect resell to remain healthy after the drop.
How Will They Release?
Footlocker is one of the only brick-n-mortar retailers scheduled to release these sneakers exclusively at their top-tier (Tier 0) Jordan stores that are located in major cities like: Los Angeles, Chicago, & New York.
Also to note, none of Footlocker’s stock will be available online. Instead, all pairs will be distributed via their in-app sneaker reservation system that functions more like a digital raffle system.
Entries for the raffle will be accepted until Wednesday, February, 10th at 3:15pm CST. Raffle winners being notified in-app at approximately 4pm CST that same day and will have until February 12th to pick-up their reservations.
Copping Online
Nike SNKRS will be one of the few options where manual shoppers have a realistic chance at copping this shoe online for retail.
On SNKRS, you can expect the shoes to drop on the app at 9am CST with potential buyers having 2-3 minutes to get in line for a chance to purchase.
Bodega will also have pairs available online at 11am CST on a first come, first served basis, but manual users shouldn’t get their hopes up as their site is heavily targeted by botters.
“An archaic monument and a pair of stealthy sneakers might seem worlds apart, but not to Edison Chen—designer and founder of CLOT—whose core philosophy revolves around the bridging of Eastern and Western design.”
