Perhaps the biggest news of Jordan Brand’s 2017 Black History Month Collection wasn’t the removable patches on the Air Jordan 1 or the hypnotizing metallic gold patent leather on the grade school exclusive option. Instead, it might’ve been the return of an oft-forgotten early 2000s retro training model in the Jordan Trunner LX.

For those of you who don’t remember, the Jordan Trunner LX ushered in the training regime for the Jumpman in the year 2000. Its construction mirrored the Air Jordan 15’s unique woven construction on the forefoot while a bevy of neoprene panels created a laceless slip-on fit while a dual strap handled the lockdown duties. It’s a bit of an oddity that this retro would return in 2017, but there’s definitely a cult-following associated with the silhouette. If you’re one of the fans that plans on picking the pair up, then rejoice, as more colorways are likely headed to retail shelves after the BHM colorway drops on February 11th.

In the meantime, check out more detailed shots of the Jordan Trunner LX BHM below and stay tuned for more Jordan Release Date updates right here on Sneaker News.

The New York Times Magazine recently profiled Russell Westbrook and the specifics of some of his stranger routines. See, Russ is a precise individual with a grueling work ethic and doesn’t have time to deviate from his time-honored traditions and patterns that helped him get to his MVP-form. That thought process goes right down to his footwear, too, as writer Sam Anderson detailed the rampant perfectionism through a story about how Westbrook no longer wears the Air Jordan 31. As some of you may have noticed, Russell Westbrook has been wearing a hybrid model known as the Air Jordan 30.5 (even though it won’t release at retailers anytime soon) that features the woven construction of the XXX1, but with the sole of the XXX. Here’s why according to Oklahoma City Thunder equipment manager Wilson Taylor:

Westbrook is unbelievably attuned to the tiniest details of his shoes. He has his own personal rack at the practice facility. ?Most guys, I can just bring a pair of shoes,? the Thunder?s equipment manager, Wilson Taylor, told me. ?Russell wants a certain pair. He knows which are for games, which are for practice. He determines which shoes are coming on a road trip.? When Nike sent Westbrook its latest model, the Jordan 31, he wasn?t happy with the sole flexibility, so he asked the company to build him a special hybrid using the previous model?s sole. Even in that custom shoe, however, the insoles aren?t thick enough for Westbrook, so Taylor replaces each of them by hand.

So there you have it. Russell Westbrook is not normal. You can tell by his insane athletic ability, his pre-game dance routines, his sartorial taste in regards to off-court wardrobe, and now you have proof in the form of a nice little excerpt about how truly specific he is in regards to his Jumpman footwear.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I prefer the Beach pair the most, since it’s more versatile and stylish in my opinion. This variation, however, is still pretty solid and I’m a fan of the monochromatic aesthetic.
