Retailer images are finally out for Mowalola's debut Jordan Brand collaboration, and the wait for this one is almost over.

Retailer images are out for the Mowalola x Air Jordan 14, priced at $255. It's set to release through Mowalola on September 19th, followed by a wider global release on September 26th. The style code is IQ5708-001.

This marks Mowalola Ogunlesi's first collaboration with Jordan Brand. It builds off the Air Jordan 14's Ferrari-inspired shape, but swaps the usual suede for a weathered brown leather instead. That change gives the shoe a much rougher, aged look right out of the box.

Some Mowalola branding runs along the side. A faded plaid pattern wraps around the heel, carrying through to the inner lining in a subtle red-on-black print. Black patent detailing rounds out the midsole and heel counter.

The most notable change sits on the side panel. Mowalola swaps the model's usual Ferrari-style window cutout for a small circular branded hit instead. It's a subtle tweak, but one that shifts the shoe's identity right away for anyone familiar with the original.

A matching open-back mule version releases alongside it, priced separately, giving the collection two distinct ways to wear the same design language.

Mowalola first unveiled this project during Paris Fashion Week earlier this summer. That runway debut leaned hard into the label's usual rough, lived-in aesthetic. Bringing that same sensibility to the Air Jordan 14 marks a real departure from how the model usually gets reworked.

Jordan Brand has increasingly turned to fashion designers for these kinds of collaborations rather than sticking to sneaker-world names exclusively. Mowalola's British-Nigerian design background adds yet another distinct perspective to that growing list. The worn, aged leather finish here doesn't read like anything else currently in Jordan Brand's lineup.

This drop also lands amid a stacked stretch for Air Jordan collaborations. CDG, APB, and Jaide are all working on their own Air Jordan 11 projects, while Free the Youth just revealed an Air Jordan 16. Between all of that activity, Mowalola's take stands out for how far it pushes away from a typical retro.

With retailer images now out, the wait for this one is almost over.
