​June. That’s when Russell Westbrook says we’ll see his Jordan Brand signature sneaker.

As guards Stephen Curry (Under Armour), Damian Lillard (Adidas) and Kyrie Irving (Nike) all added to the roster of NBA athletes with signature shoes this season, a fan at NBA All-Star Weekend in New York City asked Westbrook when he was next.

In the video, posted by the The Wall Street Journal, Westbrook says they are working on a shoe “coming out in June, this summer.”
