Jordan Brand and Russell Westbrook have more on the way as the fifth model in the Why Not? line is here. Unveiled during the Christmas Day match-up vs. the Nets in the “Inner City” colorway, the Why Not? .5 taps into Westbrook’s strengths and draws in inspiration from his love for music, fashion, his upbringing, and more.
