Devin Booker has been on a hell of a run with his Nike Book 1 signature sneaker. Paying homage to his own history with a number of colors, this month the “Forrest Gump” PE style is getting a wider release.
In 2024, Devin Booker released his first signature shoe with Nike, the Book 1. The model, which is inspired by classics like the Air Force 1 but ready for all levels of performance on the court, has had a wide array of colors land over the last year. Booker and the Nike team have used the model as a template for Book to tell his personal stories, and some tangential ones through special PE pairs.
One of the more elusive pairs of the Book 1 has been his “Forrest Gump” PE style that appeared early in the 2024 season. The shoe followed the color blocking of the iconic Cortez shoe from the movie, but has only been seen on Devin’s feet so far. Now, word of a public release has surfaced, rumored to drop later this month. The model comes in white, with red accents for the Swooshes and heel tabs, and a blue stripe through the midsole to complete the look.
