Devin Booker Unveils Nike Signature Sneaker Silhouette

We have our first look at Devin Booker‘s inaugural signature sneaker with Nike. Designed by Ben Nethongkome, the Nike Book 1 is an ode to the future but with timeless motifs common in Nike’s construction. It boasts a textured upper, which makes it durable for sporting on and off the court. Additional design notes include a suede collar and leather detailing at the forefoot for reinforcement. The sole unit features Cushlon 2.0 foam at the midsole, an Air Zoom unit, a midfoot shank plate, TPU sidewall cage, and herringbone traction. “BOOK” branding at the tongue, “CHAPTER ONE” text at the heel, and a barcode at the sockliner that nods to his pro journey thus far complete the look. Rumored to retail for $150, expect the Nike Book 1 to be available for purchase in Spring 2024. Booker previously teased the sneakers on his personal Instagram account and Drake wore them on his It’s All a Blur tour.
