Jordan x HTG®
Los Angeles native Russell Westbrook’s Honor the Gift clothing brand is an expression of strength, focus and leadership. Similar to the Jordan Brand, it was founded on self-belief and dedication to never stop working toward greatness, no matter the hardship.
Inspired by Russell Westbrook’s youth, Honor the Gift is built out of respect for where Russell came from and where anyone can take themselves. This year, the two Brands have collaborated to launch Russell’s signature colorway of the Why Not.5 shoe and apparel line. Details such as patches, labels and embroidery of the “Inner City” collection capture the style and essence of Russell’s experience.
Russell’s style of play goes from zero to one hundred in a blink of an eye, and the biggest piece of input Russell gives from a performance standpoint is that he doesn’t want his feet to move too strong to where he’s sliding in his shoe. Thus, stability and traction – as well as making the shoe lightweight – is a big priority for the Jordan Brand design team. Russell also wants people to be able to rock his shoe off the basketball court, so creating a shoe that can be worn casually on the streets is something the Jordan Brand design team aims to achieve.
