Over a decade ago, Russell Westbrook signed with Jordan Brand, immediately becoming one of the leading faces of the Jumpman during the growth of the social media epoch. His impact was immediate as fans across the globe were enamored by his powerful, almost violent slams, but he’s made a name for himself as the ultimate jack-of-all-trades in NBA history.

He’s no longer the triple-double machine and perennial All-Star that he once was, but that’s because he’s willingly and rather gracefully taken on a supporting role as he concedes to perhaps the most star-studded roster he’s ever been on in his career. Still, he commands important minutes for a team that has its sights set on the NBA Finals, averaging 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.6 Big – a stat-line that will have him in the conversation in eventual discussions surrounding the 2024 NBA Sixth Man Of The Year.

Going back to the shoes — despite signing with Jordan Brand in late 2012, he wasn’t given his first signature shoe until early 2018. Rather than adopting the simple formula of initials/lastname and shoe number, he and Jordan Brand explored a more creative route, highlighting his personal motto of “Why Not” to establish a motivational narrative. Later in 2020, a parallel signature shoe line was created, offering a lower-budget option for his fans.

Jordan Westbrook One Take Series

The Jordan Westbrook One Take series debuted in 2020 and has spawned a total of four models — one per each year. The shoes are far more simpler and subdued than the chief Why Not signature series, which at times took too many risks that admittedly did not speak to consumers. The One Take, with its fore-foot Zoom cushion package and $100 price-tag, seemed far more attractive. The fifth model, the One Take 5, could be his best signature shoe yet.

Revealed here via Nike official images is the one Take 5 in two colorways that do not steer clear of classic Jumpman aesthetic. Black/Red or White/Red are the two options for now, but rest assured there will be nearly a dozen to choose from by the time the One Take 6 arrives in late 2024/early 2025. It’s got a bit of that AJ1/Dunk DNA via the toe-guard and heel construction, but with enough of that apparent Westbrook flair via the exposed stitch marks, the saw-tooth accent at the toe, and the call-out to his wife and children on the heel.

On a performance standpoint, the One Take 5 features an exposed mid-foot plate (a detail we haven’t seen since the One Take 2), while Zoom sits at the fore-foot. The midsole honors the Jumpman via the small logo, while the tongue opts for that old-school Nike approach with the smaller logo.

Currently, the Where to Buy Air Jordan 1 High Zoom Comfort "London" is available in select size options globally; a U.S. release is likely arriving in early 2024.
