Russell Westbrook Will Launch His Apparel Collection Within a Year

Russell Westbrook quickly became an NBA superstar after leaving UCLA in 2008. He then claimed his first MVP award after surpassing Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson for most triple-doubles in a single season with 42 during the 2016-17 campaign.

Westbrook is now pushing new boundaries off the court. On Tuesday, he alluded to his plan to launch a clothing collection.

"For sure, I'm working on something," he acknowledged prior to a book signing Tuesday night at Barneys in New York, per Jean E. Palmieri of WWD. "It's coming soon—within a year."

Possibly within a year, you'll be able to emulate Westbrook on the court while wearing his Jordan Brand sneakers and dress like him off the court with his clothing line.
