UNC's Sweet 16 Jordans feature huge Rameses ram mascot

Posted Mar 25, 2015
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. The North Carolina Tar Heels get the latest "big and bold" version of the Air Jordan XX9 for the Sweet 16 featuring Rameses, UNC's mascot, on the side of the shoe. (Sporting News)
