Russell Westbrook, known for his tendency to play high on his toes, prioritized the need for a signature shoe that offered a smooth vamp and ample lockdown. Hence, the Nike Air Jordan Why Not Zer0.1 ‘PhD.’ sneaker was created, featuring an ankle strap and internal lacing system that work in unison with an internal bootie to provide a secure fit. In addition to these features, the shoe showcases a forefoot Jumpman, a Westbrook logo on the front ankle, and subtle touches of pink. Notably, the form-fitting Phylon heel piece adds a futuristic aesthetic that complements the translucent sole.
