When Devin Booker’s signature shoe Nike BOOK 1 initially graced the scenes during Nike’s World Basketball Festivities in September 2023, it was a moment of excitement. Fans and sneaker enthusiasts thrilled at the blend of elegance and personal touches, a bridge between the old and the new, encapsulating Booker’s aesthetic.
Subtly capturing the essence of classic and contemporary design, the Nike BOOK 1 was praised for its simplicity and adherence to heritage. The blend of suede and leather materials presented a refreshing narrative in the world of signature basketball shoes. The orange-flooded BOOK Chapter 1, adorned with scaly snakeskin textures, set the stage, drawing admiration from across the globe.
Yet, something new and captivating looms on the horizon. The “Cool Grey” edition, that spells understated elegance, has been unveiled. Spotted on Booker’s feet during the Phoenix Suns practices, this new colorway is a testament to sophistication and style, capturing the essence of the player’s legacy and the timeless allure of basketball footwear.
“Cool Grey” illuminates the sneaker’s toe and heel overlay, giving life to a soothing neutral shade, whilst the perforated ankle speaks of comfort meeting aesthetics. The tumbled leather covering the Swoosh logo, surrounded by a textured canvas-like fabric, adds a layer of sophistication, making the sneaker a hallmark of luxury and style.
“96” is emblazoned on the BOOK 1, a nod to the Suns star’s birth year, weaving a personal touch into the fabric of the design. The heel pull-tab, adorned with extra layers in white, mimics the pages of a book – an eloquent testament to the BOOK 1 logo proudly displayed on the tongue.
