With the Oklahoma City Thunder currently leading (2-1), in a best-of-seven series against the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA postseason, OKC’s star guard, Russell Westbrook has been seen sporting exclusive variations of the Air Jordan 30.

A notable JB advocate, two pairs are highlighted, particularly in the “Away” OKC colors with predominantly photo blue and orange accents with the netted motif on its heel.

The other model flaunts a pristine makeup in all-white, alongside silver detailing. Additionally, the model flaunts the word “Dangeruss” on the insoles as a reflection of his personality on the court.

Unfortunately, these colorways won’t be available to the public. Check them out on court as the Thunder pursue an NBA Championship.


Author’s Take

I’ve shared before that I’m a fan of the model’s simple makeup. Out of the two, I’d have to side with the white pair just because it’s more versatile and stylish.

I like the simplicity of the silhouette?s profile. In this colorway, it?s solid, but I would have preferred it more without the touches of Blue.

Author?s Take

I like the use of two different leathers, but when it comes down to it, it?s an all-black shoe on a model I?m not too fond of. It?s a pass for me.

On-Feet Shots Of The Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum

So what’s the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum going to look like once you lace them up and put them on your feet? Just like I expected, amazing!

Coming in a Navy Blue upper, the shoes construction comes in a mesh base and a patent leather mudguard/toe. Navy Blue laces and lining round out the monochromatic look up top. Creating a nice balance and contrast is the white midsole and gum outsole combination seen down low. It’s not everyday you see an Air Jordan 11 come with a Navy Blue upper and a Gum bottom outsole. It may be a new look, but there’s no doubt that it looks good on the shoe. Slated to release sometime in the Summer, keep it locked to our official Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum launch page as release information on the shoe is soon to follow.
