Russell Westbrook pays homage to his brother via new ‘Why Not Zer0.1 Masters” shoe

It’s all about the shoes in the NBA, and Russell Westbrook just rolled out some more signature kicks. These shoes mean more to Russell Westbrook, as he dedicates them to his role model for a great accomplishment.

In a recent Tweet, Russell Westbrook showed off his brand new shoes, created to honor his Brother’s achievement.

Raynard Westbrook, has always been Russell’s biggest supporter, sending him texts of encouragement at halftime of every game.

A tearful Russell Westbrook explains during his 2017 MVP speech how much his family means to him. Westbrook goes on to tell the world his little brother is his role model. The “Masters” shoes show that off.

Paying homage to his younger brother, and also leaving a word of encouragement to whomever may buy them. On the tongue of the shoe, a simple question is posed by Russell Westbrook: “Why Not You?” which is of course a part of his marketing campaign “Why not?”

The Jordan Why Not Zer0.1 “Masters” are out now, and will run you 125-dollars.

After a long path, going from California, to the University of Central Oklahoma, Raynard Westbrook finally walked across the stage as a Master. But, he did not earn that degree from UCO.

Instead, Raynard Westbrook walked out to the tune of Boomer Sooner to collect his Masters Degree in communications from the prestigious University of Oklahoma.

It’s gotta be the Shoes, Paul:

On the subject of shoes, Paul George came in at number one on a very important list. 42-NBA-Players wore Paul George’s kick during games this past year. That is the highest mark of any active player.

Paul George finished ten players higher than Kyrie Irving had with his signature Kyrie 3’s. Another notable player on this list, is former-Thunder star Kevin Durant.

Kevin Durant had 16-players wearing his NIKE KD 10’s during games, 26-less than current-Thunder-Star Paul George.

Family Matters:

Russell Westbrook is known to have an extremely close relationship with his inner circle. Now he’s using his brand to punctuate the point. This recent debut follows the Why Not Zer0.1 launch three weeks ago which were  a nod to son Noah’s birth date.
