The “Air Safari” colorway of the Nike Book 1 will be characterized by Black/Black-Monarch for the classic safari look accented by the vibrant, burnt orange hue. The main saddle, heel, and eyelets panel will come in smooth black leather to contrast the other aspects. The mudguard, lower heel, and ankle collar will all feature the textured safari pattern, resembling the camouflage of several safari animal species.
The shoes carry on with the iconic Monarch or burnt orange color covering the toebox and inner sockliner. The oversized Nike Swoosh is outlined in white to match the midsole, while a black outsole finishes the base. All in all, this is certainly a clean take on an already classic colorway that usually works on each sneaker it graces.
The Nike Book 1 “Air Safari” is available September 2, 2025 for a slightly elevated retail tag $155. The shoes will drop via Nike SNKRS app and select Nike platforms, coming in full size runs to accommodate your whole team.
