Jordan Brand will be releasing a "Rip Hamilton" Air Jordan 14 in just a few weeks, celebrating the 20th anniversary of UConn's 1999 National Championship run, in which Hamilton earned Most Outstanding Player honors while rocking the classic white and red 14s.
Hamilton led all scorers with 27 points in the 1999 National Championship game, as UConn defeated the Duke Blue Devils by the final of 77-74.

As seen in the early images that surfaced this past weekend, the special edition Air Jordan 14s look identical to the classic "Candy Cane" colorway that Rip wore during his final season with the Huskies.
Nike has not yet confirmed official release details, but the colorway is listed as "White/Varsity Red-Metallic Silver-Black" which lines up perfectly with the Candy Cane XIVs.
It is believed the "Candy Cane" aka "Rip Hamilton" Air Jordan 14 will drop on April 6, right around the time the Final 4 tips off in Minnesota. The kicks will retail for $190.
