In Toronto, the sporting world witnessed Kobe Bryant play in his final NBA All-Star game. And while it was indeed Bryant's night, it was Russell Westbrook receiving the evening's highest honor.
Westbrook took home his second consecutive All-Star Game MVP as he led the Western Stars to a 196-173 victory over the East. As impressive as he was with his play, sneakerheads were equally impressed with his footwear choice as Westbrook rocked the mysterious Air Jordan XXX "Cosmos." Originally debuted by Tinker Hatfield at the official unveiling of the XXX back last month, fans finally got a chance to see the shoe in action.
The shoe is appropriately named the "Cosmos" for its use of galaxy imagery and also features a gradient outsole of teal, purple, and blue which compliments the upper perfectly. The pair worn by Westbrook does differ from the pair Hatfield initially debuted. Comparing the two, Westbrook's model features a dark toe box and midsole in lieu of the white color blocking seen on Hatfield's original.
No release date or additional information for the shoe has been mentioned, but after seeing Westbrook rocking his pair, more than a few folks are going to want to cop.
