The Russell Westbrook x Air Jordan 16 Retro "Why Not?" is an all-Black execution inspired by Russell Westbrook's distinctive personal style, particularly his penchant for leather jackets. The upper is constructed with premium black leather, including a large, removable midfoot shroud—a signature feature of the Air Jordan 16—that is secured with a magnetic closure. The design features details modeled after the chain nets found on outdoor basketball courts, which are embroidered onto the shroud. The stark black upper is offset by an aged-looking Sail (off-white) midsole and is accented with Antique Silver detailing, providing a subtle metallic flash. The shoe includes Zoom Air cushioning in the midsole.
