The Nike Book 1 is different from typical basketball sneakers on today's market in that it almost resembles more of a lifestyle shoe as opposed to a performance model. It's exactly what Booker was going for with these as he wanted them to embody his passions and sense of style off the court. What results is the perfect go-to sneaker for both wearing onto the court and out on the streets.
The latest edition will come in a crisp Ashen Slate colorway, detailed by premium suede and woven materials along the uppers. Each iteration of the Nike Book 1 has featured a unique array of premium and quality materials, so expect these to be no different. The shoe is finished with a soft white midsole, translucent outsole, and hits of Nike Orange throughout the tongue logos and insoles.
What separates these shoes are the tiny details Nike put forth to make these personal to Devin Booker. The insole features a barcode with significant numbers below it representing areas codes of places like Phoenix and Grand Rapids, Michigan where the star is from. The pull-tab on the heel has Booker's birthyear '96' and the heel reads ‘Chapter One' along the back, further cementing this as the start of a long upcoming line for Devin Booker.
Nike Book 1 ‘Ashen Slate'
The official color code for the Nike Book 1 will read Ashen Slate/Light Carbon-Football Grey-Multi-Color and they will release on February 29, 2024. They'll be made available on Nike SNKRS app for a retail tag of $140 in very limited quantities, so make sure to set your alarms on release date.
