Whatever your opinion of these shoes (mine being a definitive yuck), it is worthwhile news to know that if you're curious at how these bad(literally) boys will look on not a mannequin's feet, the first chance to see em in action is tonight on Russell Westbrook's feet against the Brooklyn Nets.
Mr. Westbrook joined Jordan Brand this year, and the execs at JB's selection of the Thunder guard to debut these unique shoes is spot-on.
Russ has already made a splash in the league for being the polarizing shoot-first, pass-later point guard. He can win the game with his other-worldly athleticism on one possession, but also over-dribble the team out of game on the next possession.
This past season, Westbrook began drawing the attention of fans for his unique style of cartoon shirts and 90's Nerd button ups. Take a gander at his choice of outfits in last year's playoff conferences alone, and you'll agree. If there is one player in all of the NBA to pull off wearing a shoe with the ultra high zip-up 'glove', it's that glasses with-no-lens wearing guy. Let's see if he kicks (pun very much intended) some butt in them tonight.
