Each year, the signature Jordan takes on a different look. Some years, it's a small tweak from a previous iteration. The current shoe — the XX9 — is significantly different from its zip-up predecessor, the XX8.
One of the design cues the shoe carried through its run has been big, bold imagery on the side, starting with a massive Jumpman logo on the earliest release and even into the recent "Photo Reel" colorway.
