This Book 1 has an all-black and all-shaggy-suede upper. The signature profile Swooshes on both the medial and lateral mid-panels are light tan with a darker tan outline. Brown “96” branding can be found on the heel pull tabs, referencing Booker’s birth year of 1996. Instead of Nike branding, you’ll find brown Book branding on the black tongues. A charcoal grey midsole and a semi-translucent icy rubber outsole finish off the entire ensemble.
About Devin Booker and Nike Book 1
The Nike Book 1 features elements that help with lateral stability, cushioning and underfoot responsiveness, the same release said. Under the hood of the shoe, as it were, Nike design teams layered Cushlon 2.0 foam within the midsole and “a rigid TPU sidewall for added support, with a top-loaded Nike Zoom airbag in the heel”, the release said.
Just like his beloved Chevy, the outside of the shoe is all about the aesthetics coupled with purpose. For example, work-wear canvas and twill on the upper provide further durability. Meanwhile, a suede collar and leather across the forefoot contribute to a plush and broken-in feel.
