Amongst the exhilarating action of the first round of the NBA Playoffs, several new footwear models have hit the hardwood, including the much-anticipated Air Jordan XX9. Thunder star and Jordan Brand athlete Russell Westbrook debuted the XX9 on-court, wearing a new 'Home' PE in Oklahoma City.
Today, new images (courtesy of @Jumpman23) provide us with a closer look at Russell's player exclusive, showing off a white base with bright orange and blue accents. Elephant print details cover the shoe's intricate performance-woven upper, while an icy, translucent outsole sits below.
Now that we're a little over two weeks removed from the unveiling of the XX9, what are your thoughts on Jordan Brand's newest game shoe? Let us know in the comment section below.
