Since returning from injury, Russell Westbrook's sneaker game, as well as his play, has been on point. Just this week, Westbrook has rocked three different Air Jordan XX9 PEs, saving perhaps the best one for last night.

For the Thunder's game against the Detroit Pistons, Westbrook trotted out an Air Jordan XX9 PE reminiscent of the "Gym Red" colorway but with a few alterations. The biggest difference is the use of orange trim, rather than red on the upper. To make the shoes a Westbrook exclusive, Jordan Brand put the point guard's "RW" logo on the tongue. For those of you wondering if the reengineered Flight Plate in the XX9 works, you might want to check out the clip above. Westbrook performed an absolutely awe-inspiring aerial attack on the rim with a violent tomahawk jam over Josh Smith. Trust us, you are going to want to see this.

Check out Westbrook's Air Jordan XX9 PE below and watch his jaw-dropping jam above.
