We can’t wait to see what’s in store for Russell Westbrook this season. If history is any indication, the man is about to be a walking triple-double en route to MVP consideration given the fact that he won’t be sharing the spotlight with Kevin Durant anymore. Jordan Brand has a lot planned for The Brodie too, from the Air Jordan XXX1 to some not-so-subliminal shots at KD in the latest video spot. Now we get a look at Russell’s latest Jordan Brand lifestyle model courtesy of his appearance on Jimmy Fallon.
The late night host broke out a pair of the upcoming Russell Westbrook lifestyle shoe featuring a premium “Banned” black and red leather high-top upper to show just how far we’ve come in terms of showing off new sneakers on late night. Before, David Letterman had to tape over the Nike Swooshes when talking to Michael Jordan about the Air Jordan 1 “Banned” all the way back in 1985. Now hosts are wearing the model for the athlete. Pretty cool. Check out the full video after the break and stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.
