Nike continues to work with NBA star Devin Booker as the two unveil a new tonal iteration of the iconic Book 1 sneaker model. This time around, the shoe gets a pink Sunrise palette to reflect the captivating sunrise in Arizona -- Booker's home state.
It has a soft pink palette along the canvas construction and slightly fades into an orange hue closer to the heel unit -- this section is also detailed with pull tabs for accessibility. Similar to other variations of the silhouette, both of the efforts don their branding details throughout the shoe including 'Book' along the tongue and 'Chapter One' message detailing the heel. The Swoosh on the side has a tonal finish for a minimal and muted aesthetic.
