The Air Jordan XX9 is a sneaker that hasn't yet taken advantage of the graphic capabilities offered up by the nearly line-less upper.
Finally doing that is this upcoming pair that's got a release date of Feb. 18, 2015. The sources on this first batch of images for the sneaker call it simply "Year Of," and also make a connection between the upcoming goat/ram symbol and the wood heavenly branch of the zodiac that pertains to 2015. The sneakers have a watery set of blues painted across the upper and the least amount of branding yet for a Jordan XX9. This pair's release date that falls right before Chinese New Year further suggests a tie in there.
