But his hiatus from one game didn’t hinder his athletic vision. Jordan took to the baseball diamond instead, playing a single season in the minor leagues.
AIR JORDAN XIV	1998-10-01	Tinker Hatfield	White / Black — Varsity Red	150	DNA Archive	Beaverton, Oregon	136011	WITH HIS SIXTH RING, LEGEND STATUS IS ATTAINED	The Air Jordan XIV quickly went from zero to legendary. During the 1998 Finals, Tinker slipped an early AJ XIV prototype to MJ, asking him to refrain from wearing it. But MJ took a liking to the shoe, wearing them en route to his sixth and final ring. The AJ XIV would also be the last signature model worn on court by Jordan with the Chicago Bulls.
AIR JORDAN X	1994-01-01	Tinker Hatfield	White / BlackWhite / Black — L	125	DNA Archive	Beaverton, Oregon	130209	MJ MARKS HIS PLACE  IN HISTORY WITH A DRIVE  THAT	Designed while Jordan was away from the game, the Air Jordan X featured clean lines and lateral stripes on the soles that paid tribute to each of his 10 early career milestones.

AIR JORDAN XXX	2016-02-01	inker Hatfield / Mark Smith	White / Blue	185	E. Ellzey	Portland, Oregon	811006	THE NEXT FRONTIER OF FLIGHT	With the third X comes an epic milestone in the Air Jordan lineage.

AIR JORDAN III	1988-01-01	Tinker Hatfield	White / Cement Grey	100	DNA Archive	Beaverton, Oregon	4365	THE BEGINNING OF AN ERA AND THE ARRIVAL OF AN ICON	With MJ’s second slam dunk contest win, this time wearing AJ III White Cements, came an inspiring and memorable image of flight. And with it, another icon is born — the Jumpman. Here, and with the help of his MVP nomination and a certain Mars Blackmon, Michael Jordan and his sleek footwear are shuttled to fame.
AIR JORDAN VII	1992-01-01	Tinker Hatfield	White / Light Silver — Red	125	DNA Archive	Beaverton, Oregon	130014	THE SPIRIT OF JORDAN GOES GLOBAL	he Air Jordan VII was the shoe worn by MJ on his way to becoming a international icon.

And Jordan Brand innovation has been key in assisting athletes as they prepare for takeoff. With the AJ XXXIII, Air Jordan technology takes a daring leap forward, utterly abandoning convention with the new FastFit entry, tightening, and release system.
AIR JORDAN II	1986-11-01	Peter Moore / Bruce Kilgore	White / Red	100	DNA Archive	Beaverton, Oregon	4361	THE JOURNEY OF JORDAN BEGINS WITH SIGHTS SET HIGH	With the introduction of the Air Jordan II comes a new era in footwear. On the heels of Michael Jordan’s masterful entry into the game, and with calculated precision, the AJ II laid the visionary foundation for a long and prosperous footwear dynasty.
AIR JORDAN XVII	2002-02-01	Wilson Smith III	White / Red	200	S. Redman	Salem, Oregon	302720	THE MAGICIAN RETURNS	It was the 2001–02 NBA season when MJ returned to the game yet again. A special Air Jordan was created for his first steps back on the court. Referencing MJ’s mid-air wizardry — his ability to improvise in flight — the AJ XVII’s design drew from the improvisational nature of jazz. Like a traveling jazzman, the shoes came with a metal briefcase and an accompanying CD-ROM.
AIR JORDAN XIX	2004-03-01	Tate Kuerbis	White / Red	165	S. Redman	Salem, Oregon	307546	A NEW DAY DAWNS	Although he never laced up a pair of Air Jordan XIXs for use during a game, Michael Jordan’s exact specifications helped create the future of flight. MJ had set the bar for performance. Air Jordans had set similar standards with technology and style. The AJ XIX now beckoned the next generation of athlete, while ushering in a new era of footwear.
AIR JORDAN XXXIV	2019-09-01	Tate Kuerbis	White/University Red – Black	180	Jordan Brand	Beaverton, Oregon	3240	MAKE LESS MORE	The future of flight is rooted in a foundation of excellence. That uncompromising commitment to deliver the best in performance innovation is unmistakably Jordan.

It’s everything athletes need and nothing they don’t.
