About the release
Nigeria-born, London-based fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi lands her first-ever collaboration with Jordan Brand — an Autumn '26 collection led by the Jordan 14 in a stealthy Black / Burnt Red / Metallic Gold execution (style code IQ5708-001). This is Jordan Brand's most fashion-forward collab of the year so far, deviating from JB's typically performance-focused design language and leaning fully into Mowalola's streetwear-informed aesthetic. First previewed at Paris Fashion Week earlier this summer, the drop also includes a matching Air Jordan 14 Mule and a full apparel collection spanning a leather jacket, track jacket, track pants, halter top, mini shorts, knit tight, tank top and shirt.
The AJ14 itself is one of the more meaningful silhouettes Jordan Brand could hand to a first-time collaborator — the final basketball sneaker MJ wore as a Chicago Bull. Mowalola's take pulls from the model's 'Ferrari' colourway construction language with flat exterior panelling in premium leather rather than the standard suede, executed in a stealthy dark palette Mowalola herself describes as 'Chocolatey Brown'. Faded plaid patterns wrap around the rear and repeat as red-over-black plaid on the inner lining. The signature Ferrari-inspired side window has been replaced with a round Mowalola logo hit. Mowalola script branding lands on the lateral panels alongside the Jumpman. Co-branded logos animate the tongue, rear and sockliner. The pair ships in special-edition packaging featuring artwork of Mowalola's shadowy figure under the lid, alongside extra laces for styling options.

Release date and price
Release rollout runs in three staggered windows. The Mowalola early release lands Friday 19 September 2026 via MOWALOLA.com — the designer's own channels get first pick, alongside the matching AJ14 Mule. The global wider release follows on Friday 26 September 2026 via SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. TSS UK is listing the pair for Wednesday 30 September 2026 — likely the UK retailer window for wider third-party availability. UK retail is £190, with US retail at $255. Men's sizing.
The staggered release format is standard for Jordan Brand's tier-one designer collabs and means the pair is likely to be at premium demand across all three windows. The Mowalola-first release positions this as a fashion-led drop rather than a straight SNKRS launch — a signal Jordan Brand is taking the collab seriously as a fashion moment, not just a sneaker execution.
Design and details
This is Mowalola's first Jordan Brand collab, and she's used the AJ14 — a silhouette with proper narrative weight as MJ's final Bulls shoe — as the canvas for a considered fashion-first execution. It leans on the AJ14 'Ferrari' construction language while rebuilding it in materials and detail work that read as Mowalola rather than Jordan Brand.
Premium leather over the Ferrari template
Where the standard AJ14 'Ferrari' colourway leans on suede, Mowalola's take swaps in smoother, higher-grade brown leather across the flat exterior panelling. The base colour — described by Mowalola as 'Chocolatey Brown' — reads darker and more stealthy in different lights, with Burnt Red accents and glossy black hardware breaking up the depth. The stealthy palette is a deliberate move away from the loud OG Ferrari colourway, letting the material work carry the shoe.
Plaid patterning and Mowalola script
A faded plaid pattern wraps around the heel — one of the pair's most Mowalola-forward design choices, referencing British tailoring and streetwear tradition. The plaid repeats inside the shoe as red-over-black lining detail, keeping the story consistent even when the shoe is off-foot. Script Mowalola branding on the lateral panels sits alongside the Jumpman, giving the collab equal billing without one drowning out the other.
The Ferrari window swap
The AJ14's most iconic detail is arguably the small Ferrari-inspired side window on the medial. Mowalola has replaced it with a circular Mowalola logo hit — small in surface area but symbolically huge, essentially swapping out Jordan Brand's most recognisable AJ14 signature for her own. It's a confident design move that signals the collab isn't just applying Mowalola to a Jordan silhouette; it's rewriting one of the model's core identifiers.

Shop Now →Who is Mowalola, and why the AJ14?
Mowalola Ogunlesi founded her eponymous label in 2017, and has spent the years since establishing herself as one of London's most distinct streetwear-adjacent designers — heavily rooted in her Nigerian identity, unafraid of colour, and consistently pushing garment silhouettes into more provocative territory. She was previously the design director of Yeezy Gap and has collaborated with the likes of Beyoncé, alongside her own runway shows during London and Paris fashion weeks.
Getting the AJ14 as a first-collab canvas is meaningful. The AJ14 is the last basketball sneaker MJ wore as a member of the Chicago Bulls — the iconic 1998 NBA Finals Game 6 shoe. Jordan Brand doesn't typically hand that silhouette to a first-time collaborator, and the fact Mowalola has been given both the AJ14 and a matching AJ14 Mule (plus a full apparel range) signals proper long-term commitment to the partnership rather than a one-off drop. Expect more Mowalola x Jordan Brand product across the next 12-18 months.
