Nike and Devin Booker have been iterating on their Book 1 for a year and a half now. Most releases come from moments and ideas special to Devin, and they appear to be capping off the Chapter 1 silhouette with a “What The” version, coming soon.
Devin Booker and Nike released the guard’s first signature sneaker in Spring of 2024. The two had been working on the model for some time, and its debut was one of the most hyped releases for that era of Nike Basketball. The silhouette is essentially a modern-day revision of the Air Force 1, one of Booker’s favorite shoes. The model features simple paneling, and has been dressed in a huge range of colors. Each release comes with a story about Devin himself, from his love of the outdoors to homages to classic Swoosh sneakers.
With the NBA season around the corner, Devin Booker has shared a few videos of his workouts in preparation. In the videos, his feet are completely blurred out, leading to speculation that he and Nike are keeping the Book 2 under wraps for the time being. They appear to have one more chapter for the Book 1 to close out the debut model, amalgamating many past releases into a “What The” colorway. The two shoes are mismatched, blending specific panels from special prior releases. For example, the right shoe features a denim toe box and the “Flagstaff” pair’s green mudguard, while the right features a shaggy yellow suede toe and a Safari print mudguard. This release will be limited, numbered to only 1,996 pairs.
NIKE BOOK 1 “WHAT THE” RELEASE INFORMATION
There has been no announcement regarding the release of the seemingly final chapter in Nike and Devin Booker’s Book 1 sneaker. However, with the NBA season approaching and Booker himself seemingly teasing the Book 2, we expect this colorful “What The” pair to arrive soon. Pairs will likely be available exclusively through Nike as they are extremely limited, with just 1,996 pairs in existence.
