The packaging and eclectic colorway of the newly debuted Russell Westbrook shoes carry a hint of nostalgia. The footwear takes on the silhouette of the Jordan Why Not Zer0.2 and the model proves to be one of the most engaging and fun to-date.
The inspiration for the Russell Westbrook shoes is none other than the Super Soaker — a water gun that gained popularity in the 80s. The footwear boasts the colorway of the toy — white, neon green and orange, which gives it a chic and noticeable aesthetic.
The unconventionally inspired Jordan Why Not Zer0.2 came with Russell Westbrook to Oklahoma City. The basketball player was carrying them in a playful Super Soaker box.
