When Russell Westbrook nabbed MVP honors for his triple-double season this past June, he was gifted a special Air Jordan sneaker pack that included two Player Exclusive colorways of the Air Jordan 10. With a Sunday evening game against the Dallas Mavericks on the schedule for his birthday, Westbrook figured there was no better time to put his MVP kicks to use than today.

With a sharpie, Westbrook added his usual personal details; "Why Not?" on the toe of each shoe and a tribute to his late friend Khelcey Barrs III. In the hard-to-miss sneakers, Westbrook recorded 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in a 112-99 Thunder victory.

This colorway of the Jordan 10 is not expected to be available to the public at the moment.
