NBA star Russell Westbrook has always been quite the eccentric personality, both on and off the court. He is notorious for his passion and intensity on the court, as well as his deep interest in social issues and unique fashion sense.

Westbrook founded his own clothing brand named Honor the Gift back in 2016, with the first collection releasing the following year.

The former Oklahoma City Thunder MVP has done a ton of work to build the brand, and he now has another drop coming very soon.

Westbrook Announces New Clothing Collection

Westbrook took to Instagram to promote a post from his brand about a new collection they have releasing on September 4.

Honor the Gift will be releasing the ‘Why Not Capsule Collection,’ which is an assortment of high-quality garments meant to be mixed, matched and subsequently reused to craft distinctive outfits.

Why Not is Westbrook’s motto, which he has been using for years, that turned into a foundation that he uses to empower himself and others.

The saying instills a sense of confidence, belief and empowerment in oneself, meant to beg the question, “why not me?”

The new collection will feature various pieces with the branding of “Why Not” as Westbrook continues to pave his way forward as one of the biggest trailblazers in the NBA.

He has always done things his way, which is evidenced by the carousel of teams he’s played for since his departure from Oklahoma City, such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, as well as his current free agency.

It’s been reported that teams have interest in the nine-time All-Star, but not at his current asking price.

That number hasn’t clearly been established, but we know he’s seeking a contract that’s worth more than the league minimum.

The recent reporting around the situation suggests that Westbrook might remain unsigned, but in the meantime, he’s been staying active and prepared in case a team calls.

Until then, he will just keep working out and plugging away with his clothing brand.
