Devin Booker Book 1 "Rattlesnake"
Basketball Shoes
Devin Booker is a craftsman who can lose a defender with an ankle-snatching stutter-go, then come back with a series of spellbinding jabs into a splashed jumper. Book’s signature shoe gives him the tools he needs to carve. With leather accents highlighting a super-smooth upper and a speedy, yet cushioned ride, this design can help you explore the spaces created by your piercing footwork and hungry hooper soul.
Behind the Design
Even when he comes across a serpent with a bite equally as venomous as his pull-up jumper, Book is cool under fire. This special scaly Swoosh design takes its cues from the rattlesnake that Book encountered while wandering up a hiking trail with his dog. Check out the snakeskin-like prints throughout, an ode to the slithery surprise that he zipped right past en route to the top.
Book Smooth
The outside is pure Book with a workwear-inspired canvas and twill upper adds durability, while a suede collar and genuine leather across the forefoot provide more reinforcement and a familiar, plush, broken-in feel out of the box. The pull tab at the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story.
Plant and Pivot
A top-loaded midfoot strong plastic shank helps keep your foot stable when making sudden movements like sharp plants, Book-like pivots and jabs in the post and opportunistic cuts. A strong plastic sidewall cage adds even more stability.
Stop and Go
A top-loaded Zoom Air unit in the heel provides a measure of responsive speed when taking off in the open floor and coming to sudden halts, like a 2-footed Book jump stop and pump fake around the rim.
Cut Hard
The multidirectional, Herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that’s ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement.
Full-Go Foam
Soft, full-length foam can help you keep running and cutting in comfort.
