Russell Westbrook is having one of the most prolific statistical seasons in NBA history. There is no way around that statement at this point, and given that the Oklahoma City Thunder guard is on pace to average a triple-double while simultaneously putting up more than 30 points per game, it makes sense that Westbrook would be inspiring those in the sneaker world with shear force.
With that in mind, the good folks at Jordan Brand will reportedly be deploying an Oklahoma City-based colorway on the Air Jordan 30.5, and as you may expect, it is built in the image of Westbrook. Because the always entertaining guard is sponsored by Jordan Brand, this makes a ton of sense and it feels as if this is a perfect time to be capitalizing on the increased popularity of Westbrook.

The shoe will reportedly arrive on Apr. 29 and these will likely sell like hot cakes with good reason. Westbrook may not end up taking home the ultimate honor of NBA MVP in 2016-2017, simply because of the barrage of other qualified candidates headlined by James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James. But no matter what, Westbrook has left his mark on the league this season and these kicks will serve as another reminder of that.
