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.
