Devin Booker’s Grayscale Nike Book 1 Features “Sail” Suede Contrast

Devin Booker wore his widely-anticipated Nike Book 1 against the Golden State Warriors last night in the 2023-24 NBA season opener. The Phoenix Sun laced up the limited-to-500-pairs orange style, but could be wearing a newly-surfaced grey pair soon.

In just the last week, Nike Basketball’s latest design has emerged in two other grayscale ensembles, including the aptly-dubbed “Cool Grey” Book 1. The most recent offering sees less white contrast across its upper – which draws inspiration from other hoops classics from the Swoosh like the Air Force 1, Blazer Mid, and Air Jordan 1 – than other options. A textile construction is visible from mid-foot to heel, complementing the leather and fabric hits across the forefoot, along the tongue, and at the heel. A cream-colored finish lands on the inner-lining and perforated collar area, creating an “aged” effect in line with Booker’s affinity with restomods.

One of several debut signature basketball shoes for the 2023-24 NBA season, the Book 1 has been widely-lauded for its off-court appeal. Cushlon 2.0 foam and top-loaded Zoom Air units at the rearfoot, however, guarantee the sneaker performs on-the-court as well (or even better) than on the street. Tooling on the recently-seen style – which could be the first widespread release of Devin Booker’s shoe – keeps things simple in white and a semi-translucent, milky hue.

Enjoy an early look at the pair ahead, and anticipate official nike.com launch details as 2024 inches closer. The Nike Book 1 is expected to retail for $150 USD.
