Of course, Westbrook isn't the only NBA star who will be lacing up special edition sneakers today. His teammate, Paul George, will also be rocking a "BHM" colorway of his Nike PG3 sneaker as part of the brand's Black History Month collection.
According to Nike, this year's BHM collection was inspired by an assortment of national African patterns, brought together onto modernized prints in a theme of Afro-futurism in sport.
