Jordan Why Not Zer0.6 "Khelcey Barrs" Honors Russell Westbrook's Childhood Friend
Arriving in the coming months.
Every year, Los Angeles Clippers‘ Russell Westbrook honors one of his best friends from high school. His friend, Khelcey Barrs III suffered a deadly heart attack on the court during a basketball game. After Barrs’ death, Westbrook continued to make visits to his friend’s grandma, taking over his chores before he went off to UCLA. This year, Westbrook pays homage to his friend with a new colorway for the Jordan Why Not Zer0.6.
The shoe comes dressed in a blue whisper, blue lighting and blue tint color scheme. Like the other offerings, the Jordan Why Not Zer0.6 is constructed with the typical semi-translucent grid-layer and leather overlays and mesh material. The upper’s grid layer is highlighted in a yellow-to-pink gradient hue to contrast the blue tint overlays. Additional nods to Barrs include details like the “KB” initials on the heel tabs. The zipper features the signature repeated “WHY NOT” text on the shroud, while exposed stitching further highlights the medial that sits atop a rubber outsole to round out the design.
The Jordan Why Not Zer0.6 “Khelcey Barrs” is set to release in the coming months at select Jordan Brand retailers and online at Nike for $140 USD.
In other footwear news, the New Balance 860V2 arrives in “Black/Silver Metallic.”
