Nike Book 1
The Nike Book 1 is the first installment in Devin Booker’s signature line with Nike. Taking on elements of the Air Force 1, the Blazer and the Air Jordan 1, Booker’s first signature silhouette embarks on a “Future Classic” design ethos.
Meant to transcend the hardwood into lifestyle wear, the Book 1 maintains a court-ready construction fueled by a stacked, Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole and a top-loaded Zoom Air unit in the heel with added TPU walls for stability. On the upper, workwear-inspired canvas pairs with twill, leather and suede for a plush yet reinforced feel.
The Nike Book 1 first appeared via exclusive sample imagery and was later confirmed by Booker through a series of 90s-inspired grainy videos shot on a Sony Hi8 Camcorder. Each video showcased Booker wear testing the model and providing a first look at the bright orange “Chapter 1” colorway to his closest friends and idols such as J. Cole and Chris Gibbs of Union. On the night of September 7th, Booker and Grammy-award-winning artist Drake enacted a carefully crafted official reveal as the Certified Lover Boy took the stage for his summer tour in Phoenix, Arizona sporting the “Chapter 1” colorway.
The model at last made its official debut in the “Mirage” edition on Zapatos NIKE Star Runner 3 Gs DA2776 005 Lt Smoke Grey Black Smoke Grey, followed shortly after by a “Mirage 2.0” drop on the 29th. The follow-up “Haven” and “Hike” editions changed up the construction of Book’s signature, dressing the shoe in long-haired fur and snakeskin, respectively. The next pair on the docket is the Nike Book 1 “Rattlesnake,” a lifestyle turn for the outdoorsy themes explored in the aforementioned pairs. While further colorways are unconfirmed, Booker showcased a slew of standout PE sneakers during the 2023-24 season, giving us a wide base to draw from in projecting the future of the line for the rest of the year.
