Russell Westbrook's Jordan Why Not Zer0.2 has been one of the more eclectic Jordan Brand models to come out in the last few years which makes sense considering Westbrook's personality and sense of style. This shoe has a ton of different materials and tooling which helps facilitate unique colorways. One of the latest colorways of the Why Not Zer0.2 will actually pay homage to Westbrook's late best friend and teammate Khelcey Barrs III. The young basketball star tragically passed away at the age of 16 after collapsing on the basketball court.

The shoe is primarily made of a light grey mesh upper, with pastel colors such as pink, blue, and yellow providing some highlights throughout. Near the back heel on the side, there is even a little tag that reads "KB3" which are the initials of his friend.

As of right now, an official release date has not been announced, although the pair will cost $125 USD. Check out the specific details of the shoe, courtesy of Sole Collector.
