Jordan Brand and Russell Westbrook have the “Jordan Why Not? 0.6” Set to release soon. Westbrook was seen wearing his sixth signature sneaker against the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day which they ultimately lost 124-115.
No technology information has been released on the Why Not? 0.6 but we can assume Jordan brand will be adding formula 23 cushioning that we’ve seen on the Luka 1. This Why Not? 0.6 can be seen in pure dominantly red with hints of yellow on the sock liner and outsole . The zipper is made up of the “WHY NOT?” phrase adding a unique detail to the upper.
No official release date has been released yet but look for the Why Not? 0.6 to release early in 2023. Take a look down below at a close look.
Russell Westbrook’s one of the most dynamic point guards in the history of the NBA. This season Russ was able to go home and play for his hometown LA Lakers in front of family/friends. On the season he averaged 18.5 PPG, 7.4 RPG, and 7.1 APG while embracing the challenge of anything that the coaching staff asked of him. Russell Westbrook gets targeted in the national media a lot but they’ve never given Russ credit for adapting his game to anyone he plays with on the court.
Russ never cheats the NBA or the fans when it comes to effort and energy on a nightly basis. The style of play from Russell Westbrook gains the respect of his NBA peers and one thing about the “Brodie” is he will give it his all to be great. On and off the court Mr. Why Not has proven his haters wrong and will continue to do so no matter his situation.
The Jordan Why Not Zer0.5 has been one of the sneakers of choice for Russell Westbrook in 2021-2022. In the year he’s rocked some of the dopest PEs as he continues to be one of the true PE Kings in the NBA. Jordan Brand always laces Russ with some crazy colorways that aren’t available to the public but they always have fans hoping for a random shock drop. The Jordan Why Not Zer0.5 had some dope colorways that were released to the public that can be seen below before all the PEs.

Hiromichi Ochiai’s FACETASM brand is no stranger to working with Jordan Brand, having joined forces on an Air Jordan 1 Mid back in 2019. This time, the iconic Japanese fashion house finds themselves teaming up with fellow fashion icon and Jordan Brand signature athlete, Russell Westbrook.
Using Westbrooks’s newest signature model, The Why Not Zer0.4, FACETASM and the Brodie combine their bold fashion sensibilities on one of Westbrook’s most dynamic silhouettes yet. Dressed mainly in Black, White, and Smoky Blue, the FACETASM features a variety of colors and textures including a furry tongue and exposed stitching along the heels. FACETASM branding appears on the heel and lace tab. The white midsole and translucent blue outsole complete the details of this fashion fusion. The collaboration shoe will also be joined by a Westbrook and FACETASM design clothing capsule as well.
These are set to drop January 27th at $130 on Nike.com and at selected retailers.
This NBA offseason has been crazy with all the new additions to teams via free agency/trade. One of the biggest names that have been in the trade talks has been Russell Westbrook who averaged 27.2 PPG, 7.9 REB, and 7.0 AST last season in Houston. The Rockets went with the small ball last season with Westbrook getting a lot more comfortable in the offense once Capella was moved to Atlanta. There was a lot of promise in his first season with his close friend James Harden as they showed great chemistry on and off the court. The Rockets weren’t able to get out of the second round of the NBA Playoffs in the bubble as they lost to the Lakers. Not long after the loss to the Lakers the Rockets were left looking for a new head coach and they moved on from Daryl Morey. The Rockets ownership stated that they want to compete for a championship with James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
The Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta made it clear that Houston has their eyes on a championship and that started with the hire of Stephen Silas. The new head coach Stephen Silas comes with 20 years of coaching experience in the NBA and he recently was coaching Luka in Dallas. There is no word on if James Harden or Russell Westbrook had any say on the hire but it was well-received around the NBA as Stephen Silas has been deserving for years. It was reported on November 11th by @ShamsCharania that Russell Westbrook wanted out of Houston. Once the word was out that Westbrook wanted to out of Houston the trade scenarios came flooding in. Many teams from the Knicks, Hornets, Cavaliers, Magic and the Wizards were in the mix for the former MVP. A lot of the trades that were coming out for Westbrook were highly disrespectful for someone of his talent but it was reported that the market for Westbrook wasn’t good. One trade that wasn’t disrespectful was the swap of John Wall and Russell Westbrook which was first reported as a possibility on November 17th. After John Wall heard about the rumors he was reported to want out of Washington.
Both Westbrook & Wall have similar games and both are explosive to the basket. Also, both Wall and Westbrook are NBA All-Stars while being great leaders/floor generals. The biggest difference with this trade is the fact that John Wall is coming off a ruptured left Achilles which is a very tough injury to come back from but John Wall is also younger than Westbrook. So now we fast forward to December 2nd as both teams resumed talks this afternoon where the once rumor became a reality. The Houston Rockets traded Russell Westbrook for John Wall as it became official. The Wizards are getting an MVP in Westbrook to pair up with Bradley Beal and the Rockets are getting a pissed off John Wall who’s ready to prove he’s still one of the best in the NBA. John Wall will be joining the Rockets after the news of one of his best friends DeMarcus Cousins just signed with them reuniting the two Wildcats in H-Town. This could be really special for the Rockets if both Cousins and Wall are healthy to pair with a lethal James Harden who’s ready for a championship like yesterday. John Wall is a pass-first guard who’s improved on his offense over the years and we will be looking for Cousins and Harden on a nightly basis now. The last season that John Wall played he was averaging 20.7 PPG and 8.7 AST and he will look to improve on those to prove the Wizards and his doubters wrong after this trade.
Check out some of John Walls open run this offseason as he’s preparing for the 2020-2021 season below

The Thunder and Rockets put on a show tonight in Game 7. This game was as close as it could get and down to the wire just how it’s supposed to be with a 4th and 5th seed. All series long the Rockets were leaving Lugentz Dort open and challenging him to beat them. Well, tonight the undrafted rookie made the Rockets pay big time as he finished with a career-high 30 points. Tonight Dort was shooting with confidence and he was able to attack the rim when given the chance. Tonight Lugentz Dort shot 10/21 from the field but made the best of the 3 point opportunities as he shot 6/12 for 50%. He’s the youngest player since LeBron James to score that many points in a playoff game. The Thunder took a chance on Lugentz Dort and that chance proved to pay off big time. The Thunder signed Dort to a four-year deal worth $5.4 million dollars but Dort proved that you can’t put a number on heart/energy. Tonight was all about the play of Lugentz Dort and the way he stepped up in the biggest spotlight moment. Not too many people can score 30 points in a game while holding James Harden to 17 points on the night. All series long Dort was making it tough on Harden and after tonight he’s gained a lot more fans and respect around the NBA.
The Thunder had 5 players in double figures on the night and it was tough down the stretch getting good looks. OKC’s usually the clutch team down the stretch but they were only able to score 6 points in the final minutes of the game. Chris Paul finished with a triple-double of 19 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds on the night. CP3 was able to get to his spots but the ball just didn’t go in for him tonight like in previous games. Even when he’s struggling from the field Paul was able to put his team in a position to win. CP3 showed everyone that doubted him that he’s still in great shape and that he’s still as elite as ever. Chris Paul willed this team throughout the year and the last couple of plays didn’t go as OKC wanted but sometimes these moments are a great lesson. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 19 points as he was able to bounce back in this game tonight. SGA had a huge 3 pointer late in the game that put OKC up by 1 with less than a minute. SGA was aggressive tonight and attacked the paint while hitting his jumpers. All this showed was that OKC has a bright star on their hands and someone that’s not scared of the big moments. Shai came back to the NBA restart ready to go locked in but OKC just fell short this time. This was only his second season in the NBA and he put the league on notice moving forward that he’s a rising star and has so much promise.
Danilo Gallinari and Dennis Schröder played okay but if they would have added a little bit throughout the game OKC could have won. Both of them combined for 16 points on the night and weren’t playing up to the caliber they usually play at. Credit the Rockets for all the switching that they did on the defensive end. Both Gallinari and Schröder came into Game 7 averaging a combined 35 ppg so if they added a little bit more to their performance tonight things could be different. Tonight Steven Adams added 10 points and 9 rebounds as the biggest guy in this series and played very good on the rebounds all series. The Thunder had great role players and both those guys did a great job on the season and stepped up when no one even thought they could. So many people counted this OKC team out but they had 6th Man of the Year and Coach of the Year candidates. This team had a 0.2% chance to make the playoffs and they exceeded all expectations.
The Houston Rockets will be heading to the second round to play the LA Lakers who are well-rested waiting for them. Before they could do that the OKC Thunder gave them all they could handle in Game 7. Tonight James Harden didn’t have it going as he finished with 17 points and wasn’t able to get anything going on the offensive end. It was Harden’s defense that showed up big time as he was able to block Lugentz Dort on a 3 point attempt that sealed the game for Houston. Harden struggled but got a combined 61 points from his teammates tonight that showed up in the biggest moments(Westbrook, Covington, Gordon). Those three played lights out tonight and made some big shots down the stretch to help the Rockets get to the next round. Westbrook was able to hit on his midrange tonight and was able to attack when he wanted with smaller defenders on him. Overall the Rockets proved for this round that the small ball worked and it also could have saved Mike D’Antoni’s job as well. The Rockets will be playing the Lakers after this hard-fought series against OKC.
