Nike Basketball is releasing the next chapter in Devin Booker’s timeless signature athlete story: the Book 2 footwear and apparel collection.

The ultimate creative, Devin worked closely with Nike designers to craft his second signature shoe into a modern classic, resulting in a low-profile, high-performance silhouette inspired by skateboarding, vintage cars and classic Nike sportswear. The Book 2 is joined by Devin’s latest signature apparel collection, an expertly curated selection of modern sportswear drenched in a sun-faded look that celebrates his career in Phoenix.

For the Book 2, Devin challenged Nike Basketball design and innovation experts to create a modern take on a classic basketball shoe that gets him as close to the court as possible without sacrificing comfort or performance.

The low-profile design delivers a well-cushioned and responsive ride driven by the strategic combination of a forefoot Air Zoom unit, bouncy Cushlon 3.0 midsole and plush foam sock liner.

A big thing for me was feeling the court and being a bit lower to the ground" says Devin. "A lot of inspiration came from classic shoes. One that comes to mind for me is the Air Zoom Spiridon. With the early styles, I wanted to pay homage to Phoenix by starting with orange and black for the Phoenix and Rising colorways, giving fans something to rock at each game"

As a student of basketball and a mindful curator, Devin pulled inspiration from classic Nike sneakers with the utmost intention. A durable outsole takes after the venerable Air Force 1, featuring a new sun-dappled herringbone traction pattern that serves as a shout-out to Phoenix while helping hoopers stay fast on their feet, pivot and get to their spot with time to spare. A closer look reveals cactus-inspired details and tiny asterisks drawn by Devin himself, and a lateral outrigger creates a wider base of support for quick, side-to-side movements and added on-court stability.

Devin brought his meticulous attention to process and personal style to the product-creation process, and his innate sense of curiosity and creativity led the design team to explore different midfoot-containment options for the Book 2.

Taking inspiration from the classic Nike Air Zoom Spiridon, two Book 2 models feature a lightweight, webbed mesh upper, while the others have a new molded upper that gives the shoe a more modern aesthetic while still providing a similar locked-in fit and solid midfoot support.

“For the Book 1, we were inspired by classic cars, where the engine is supercharged and tuned up but the outside looks classic,” says Ben Nethongkome, lead designer for Devin’s footwear. “That approach cascaded to the Book 2, cloaking the innovation underneath. We lowered the profile of the shoe for enhanced court feel, and because we removed materials to get lower to the ground, we were able to move the Air Zoom unit from the heel to the forefoot — achieving Devin’s desired feel and performance at a lighter weight"

The Book 2 comes to life in a series of colorways that reflect Devin’s keen understanding that sport and style serve as the ultimate form of self-expression — drawing inspiration from his 11 seasons in the Arizona desert, his meteoric collegiate career and more.

Devin’s impeccable personal style also shines through in his Book 2 apparel collection, which brings the heat in eight versatile pieces that serve as a homage to basketball culture.

Devin and Nike designers experimented with applying different dyes, finishes and prints to various fabrics to see where they wanted to land creatively, which led them to a sun-faded look that celebrates life in the desert and all Devin has achieved there.

The collection applies classic basketball cuts to premium, heavyweight fabrics that are finished with laser etching for a rugged yet tailored fit and feel — creating an on-court vibe that extends seamlessly from the stadium tunnel to the street.

Pieces include long-sleeve T-shirts honoring Haven, Devin’s first Cane Corso mastiff; a cutoff shirt with a raw edge created to Devin’s exact specifications; a woven jacket and game pant; and a brushed hoodie, short and pant.

Nike Book 2 footwear and apparel will be available in January 2026 at nike.com and select retail locations.
