Sneaker News Russell Westbrook’s first year in Los Angeles has undeniably been his most challenging season to date. The former MVP and triple-double machinie seems to be shouldering a lot of the blame for the Lakers’ trouble, and there admittedly is validation to that criticism. Still, Westbrook’s off-the-court movements have been successful; his Honor The Gift label is among the more popular selections in boutiques, while his signature shoes with Jordan continue to be embraced by hoopers who like a little edge.
Set to release later this summer is this playful mix of tropical hues on the Why Not .5. Using a black base, Jordan Brand adds watermelon. sapphire, and mint foam hits to decorate the colorway, while a golden medallion appears on the tongue label. It’s not clear if these will release before the end of the season, but hopefully this fresh pair gives Westbrook a boost because the Lakers are in dire need for an edge.
