The equipment manufacturers have done what is necessary to put the Halloween party in the spotlight again this year. This was notably a first for Book 1 of Devin Booker with a fitting “Halloween” color, in black, white and orange.
The color of the first signature shoe of the back of the Suns returns here in “inverted”, that is to say with the upper mainly in white and finishes in orange and black, in particular on the “scars” forming the contours of the “Swoosh” present on the vamp. In this way, the pattern is reminiscent of the “mouth” of Mr. Jack in the film “The Nightmare Before Christmas” by Tim Burton and this is also the name of the animated film in English which was been taken up for this Book 1 “Nightmare Before Christmas” whose exact release date has not yet been announced, even if we can imagine a marketing in the coming weeks, between now and Christmas, at a price which could be around 160 euros.
Our verdict on the Nike Book 1
Nike and Devin Booker succeeded in their bet by making this “Book 1” a dual-use shoe, responding to both the codes and the classic design of a “lifestyle” shoe, while guaranteeing impeccable technical characteristics on the basketball plan.
Inspired by the Nike Air Force 1, the pair has been reworked with a Cushlon 2.0 midsole which provides the dynamism necessary for profiles like Devin Booker. We would have appreciated a little more comfort on the forefoot but the essential thing is there. The grip and support also reach the market standard.
Book 1 also has a tribute side in its DNA that will attract the general public. Devin Booker is passionate and this mixture of genres sprinkled with his personal touches offers a unique model.
