Russell Westbrook Honors Late Friend Khelcey Barrs III With Latest Jordan Shoe

Russell Westbrook Honors Late Friend Khelcey Barrs III With Latest Jordan Shoe

Russell Westbrook‘s Jordan Why Not Zer0.2 takes its colorways from his history, inspirations, and personal story, so this new makeup inspired by the point guard’s late friend Khelcey Barrs III — who passed away from a heart attack at only 16 years of age — may very well be the most deeply personal pair that Brodie and the Jordan Brand have released to date. Westbrook is no stranger to honoring Barrs with his signature footwear, as most pairs feature a homage tucked behind the tongue or hidden under a lace shroud. However, the heartfelt tribute is made much more visible here. The left shoe’s large exposed heel tag features a “KB3” embellishment, and the color scheme offers a mix of greys both light and dark on the multi-textured upper, all accented by Easter-style pastel pinks, greens, and yellows on the collar and lacing system. The look is then completed by a white midsole/outsole with the signature exposed size tag appearing under a window of translucent plastic on the heel. Check out a full set of official images below, and expect these commemorative shoes to release on Nike.com in the coming weeks as Russ, Paul George, and the rest of the Thunder attempt to make their way through the competitive Western Conference Playoffs.
