Devin Booker's Nike Book 1 returns with another snake-skin inspired colorway
By Gio Alvarez
The upcoming release of Devin Booker's signature Nike shoe in May builds upon the success of the initial "Hike" colorway, which captured attention with its unique blend of style and performance. By drawing inspiration from the rugged terrain and stunning landscapes of Arizona, this new variant promises to deliver both eye-catching aesthetics and top-tier functionality.
The design intricately weaves in elements representing the state's natural beauty, with a particular emphasis on the rattlesnakes that add a touch of intrigue and character to the overall look. This latest iteration of Booker's sneaker line is another to draw off personal inspiration and is sure to appeal to both basketball enthusiasts and fashion-forward individuals.
The vibrant dark orange hue of the shoe gives it a casual and laid-back vibe, perfect for the summer months. The all-white base adds a clean and classic touch, while the green, camo-like Nike swoosh adds a pop of boldness and personality. The subtle yet stylish "Book" logo on the tongue ties everything together, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design.
The "Rattlesnake" version of the shoe marks the sixth official release of this model, demonstrating the brand's confidence in its performance. Several previous designs of the shoe have been highly popular, often selling out both in stores and online. Many sneaker enthusiasts have recognized the influence of iconic shoes in the culture on the Nike Book 1's design, making them versatile for both casualwear and athletic use.
Devin Booker's 2023-24 NBA season with the Phoenix Suns recently concluded with a disappointing sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite Booker's impressive 49-point performance in Game 4, it was not enough to overcome Anthony Edwards and the determined Timberwolves, who advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Suns fans were left devastated by the outcome.

During his offseason break, fans are anticipating the potential unveiling of a new Nike Book 2 model courtesy of Devin Booker. As one of the NBA's most stylish players, Booker's design prowess is highly regarded by fans and athletes alike. Given the immense success of the first edition, it seems almost certain that a follow-up is in the works, although it's merely a question of when the shoes will drop. With his creative juices flowing and more time on his hands, before the next season starts, Booker has the perfect opportunity to create a new sneaker that will undoubtedly captivate the market once again.
The Nike Book 1 "Rattlesnake" is scheduled to be released on May 11th on the Nike SNKRS app and at select retailers with a price tag of $140.
