Russell Westbrook’s Passion For Music Inspires This Colorway Of The Jordan Why Not .5

Alongside the Honor The Gift colorway, Jordan Brand has unveiled 4 colorways of Russell Westbrook’s fifth signature sneaker with the Jumpman, the Jordan Why Not .5, and get a detailed look at the “Hype Music” colorway dropping later this year.

The Why Not .5 “Hype Music” leans into the love and energy he gets from music through a standout colorway and groundbreaking features. The half-bootie constructed sneaker uses a mix of meshes in black with accents in pink, purple, and teal throughout the sneaker. Russell’s RW logo is seen on the tongue and medial side of the heel, with the Jumpman on the lateral side. The sneaker uses a funky nylon lacing setup with a black and pink overlay on the high wear areas around the toe. The white midsole features what we presume to be a double-stacked Zoom Air unit in the forefoot, and a black outsole that’s detached with a teal shank plate place in the midfoot for stability.

The Jordan Why Not .5 “Hype Music” is set to drop on April 5th via Nike.com and at select retailers. Check out the official photos below and for all things Jordan Brand, head over to our Jordan Release Dates page.
