Jovani Hernandez Russell Westbrook is still chasing his first NBA Championship, but he’s already proven himself as one of the League’s main attractions. His all-or-nothing play-style and off-court fashion have made the California-native one of the most exciting players to follow. And his NIKE, Inc. family has acknowledged this, as it’s given him his own Jordan Brand sub-label. For its next proposal, Westbrook’s “Why Not?” line is dropping an Air Jordan 16 and Converse Chuck 70 duo, the latter pictured here.
While simple in color palette, the century-old-silhouette makes a statement, just as the current Houston Rockets guard. Uppers exchange their traditional canvas contraction for a smoother leather, which is replete with embroidered broken-chain motifs. Medial sides and toe tips nod to yesteryear: the former mimics the crackling found on concrete courts, where street basketball originated; the latter to vintage footwear. Polished hardware along and throughout the tongue, as well as on the spine, take inspiration from the leather jackets Westbrook enjoys wearing. (Eyelets sport “WHY NOT?” messaging.) Underfoot, exaggerated sole units don a semi-translucent, yellowed finish and all-black license plates.
Enjoy official images of the Chuck 70 “Why Not?” here below, and find them alongside the aforementioned Air Jordan on October 2nd via Nike SNKRS.
