Russell Westbrook‘s future with the LA Clippers hangs in the balance. While the off-season swirls with uncertainty, his signature shoe with Jordan offers a comforting sense of consistency. The Jordan One Take 5 returns, this time cloaked in a robust « Gym Red » colorway that subtly nods to Chicago’s iconic Bulls palette.
Westbrook may not have a direct connection to Chicago, but the Jordan brand’s roots are undeniable. This « Gym Red » iteration subtly winks at that heritage, with the titular rosy hue strategically placed throughout the shoe. The most prominent display is a plush suede panel stretching across the vamp, but « Gym Red » also pops on branding elements, adding a vibrant touch.
While the outsole forgoes a translucent look, an icy tone takes center stage on the see-through mudguard and a TPU section nestled atop the midsole. Exposed stitching crisscrosses the overlays and heel strap, extending beyond its closure – a visual representation of Westbrook’s high-octane, aggressive style of play.
The Jordan One Take 5 « Gym Red » is slated for a near-future release on Nike.com and partnering retailers, arriving at a budget-friendly price point of just $100.
