Whole lotta sole for All-Star weekend

Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook and Boston's Kyrie Irving might don the most vibrant footwear.

Irving will wear red, blue, black, yellow and white Kyrie 5 X Rokit by Nike ($190), which combines skating and hoops culture to showcase the crossover between the sports.

Westbrook will celebrate his eighth NBA All-Star selection with a special edition colorway of his Jordan Brand Why Not Zer0.2 shoes ($125) that features a bold combination of black, red, light and dark blue and lime green.

Like most of the players, Westbrook has input into the design of his shoes. "Every colorway has a meaning behind it that is special to me," the Thunder star told Nike's website. "I wanted to take that storytelling to the next level with an exposed tag that helps illustrate the meaning behind the colors used."

In coordination with the All-Star weekend hosted by former NBA star and current Hornets owner Michael Jordan, the Jordan Brand is releasing a series of off-court footwear to honor the six-time NBA champion, who grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, led the North Carolina Tar Heels to a national championship and became a household name with the Chicago Bulls.
