When Michael Jordan was cut from his basketball team in high school, he didn’t say woe is me. Instead, he said, “Why not me?” That spirit of never giving up is infused throughout the Jordan Why Not Shoes. Designed for speed, agility, and hustle, these shoes embody the tremendous belief that His Airness had in his game — and you can use it to power yours, too.
Look Good, Feel Good
The Why Not shoes will have you feeling like you can do anything on the court. There’s a webbing fit system that has floating midfoot bands for stability. There’s an internal collar for support and comfort, while the reinforced toe provides durability where it matters most. The large external component below the arch gives you unparalleled control, while the large volume Zoom Air unit in the forefoot is responsive and provides ridiculous energy return. With a rubber outsole that has a data-informed traction pattern for stability. Made for explosive players like Russell Westbrook, these shoes will have you flying up and down the court and making jaw-dropping plays.
You’ll also find the Why Not shoes in kid form, perfect for the budding basketball star. These laces combine with the strips of webbing in the heel and forefoot to lock their feet in for stability. There are not one, but two stacked Air Zoom units in the forefoot work to deliver cushioning and responsiveness. The webbing material also harnesses the cushioning for the ultimate in comfort. The split rubber outsole has a data-informed tread pattern for the best traction. These shoes are ready for your kids to take the next step in their game.
These shoes also come in a ton of fun colors that will help you stand out on the court, including dark blue, bright white, and purple.
