Yeah ok, but are YOU gonna be buying a Davis or a Giannis' shoes? I'm not sure I would.. they don't really have enough personality for me to buy their shoes.

Westbrook - I dunno man, why is he with Jordan brand in the first place, why not his own brand under Nike?

I wouldn't buy an AD shoe lol. I think Giannis has a good personality though and if they knock it out of the park with the design I could see it being cool.

"why not his own brand under Nike?"
Ironically Westbrook's shoe is called the Why Not lol. Also Westbrook signed a gigantic 10 year mega deal with Jordan brand to be the new face of that brand, instead of one of many faces under Nike. Jordan thought WB could be that guy when CP3, Melo, and Wade couldn't do it.

I personally think the marketing for the Why Not shoe is way off. It's offcially called the JORDAN 'WHY NOT?' ZER0.1. No where in the name does it have 'Westbrook' on it. If they make a kickass Nike Westbrook with an edgy design and cool Westbrook's logo on it I would probably wear it, but with the Why Not having the Jumpman in the middle it just looks off.

Like am I wearing a Jordan? Or am I wearing a Westbrook? It's just really confusing to me.

For sure. That's probably the main challenge for Jordan brand since the Jumpman is so tied to the retros. I know when I buy Jordans I only want the retros (well I pretty much only want AJ1s lol). It'll be interesting to see if WB can become the new face of the brand though. They're taking the long term approach with his 10 year contract so they at least have faith in it.

This is his most iconic pose, but it's so close to the Jumpman that I'm sure people would think it's sacrilege if they made this a logo on WB's shoes.

Yah only time will tell if the Westbrook/Jordan thing will work out. I know I don't plan on buying any of them anytime soon. Like I'd rather buy a new Giannis (if it's got an edgy design to it) over the Westbrook/Jordan. And definitely a new Spida Adidas over it even though I'm not an Adidas guy.

BTW - will you be getting the Jordan 1 'bred toe' next weekend?

Probably not. I already have breds, Chicagos, and Off White 1s, so I don't need another pair of black/white/red 1s lol. I think there are supposed to be a lot of pairs on release day so they shouldn't be too hard to get which is nice.

Damn, you got the Off White 1's, how'd you get those?!?


I'm probably gonna get the bred toes just because the quality seems to be pretty nice, fingers crossed, hopefully I can get a couple. Also hopefully I can get a couple of the gold toes tomorrow.. man this month is really getting expensive for me.

I won the only raffle I've ever won to get the OW 1s (had to pay resale for the Blazers though, but got them before the price skyrocketed). Yeah Jordan released a lot of heat this month. I passed on the gold toes, but I kind of regret it. I love flashy shoes like that but I'm not the biggest fan of patent leather, but I still really like those.
 
Donovan is only getting his own shoe because he's selfish. If Ben Simmons wasn't so unselfish, he could have his own signature sneaker. He's way better than Donovan, rebounds better, gets more assists. This is an outrage if true.

Yours truly,
