Devin Booker’s first signature shoe with Nike called the “BOOK 1” is due out next year. The first pictures of the sneakers went viral on Twitter and fans were relentless. Many did not like the design and thought it looked like Air Force One.
Sneaker News offers an exclusive first look at Poker’s signature sneaker. Please note that these are just samples and may not be the final look. BOOK 1 was designed with the old school ’80s era of Nike basketball in mind.
Additional details on the shoe include a “BOOK 1” logo on the tongue and a 1996 Booker Birthmark on the heel pull tab. There are also three potential colors slated for release next year, possibly called black, hemp, and metallic red bronze.

Fans on social media were quick to rip off Devin Booker’s first signature shoe and call out Nike for laziness. Some even thought the “Book 1” didn’t look like basketball shoes. One fan even took a shot at Poker by mentioning Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks.
“Luca’s son has terrible shoes,” the fan wrote on Twitter.
This fan went so far as to say that Poker’s signature shoe is the absolute worst:
“These are legitimately the worst autographs I’ve ever seen.”

Another fan pointed out its similarities to Air Force 1s and Nike being lazy:
“They look like Air Force performance. You’re right the designs have been slipping through lately.”
@tweet @tweet They look like air force performance. You’re right that designs have been slipping lately.
One fan even went so far as to compare “Book 1” to something Tommy Hilfiger made and sold at Clarks:
“Bro designed the Tommy Hilfiger/Clarks specials.”

This fan hopes the design is not real and Nike will release a different design:
“I hope this is fake because those are rubbish.”

Devin Booker will have a lot of new teammates next season
The Phoenix Suns are looking to expand their championship window by surrounding Devin Booker and Kevin Durant with more talent. The Suns started the season with a bang by acquiring Bradley Bell from the Washington Wizards for a package that included Chris Paul.
Phoenix has lost several players innings to free agency but the front office led by James Jones has been quick to build roster depth. The Suns have signed Keita Bates Diop, Yuta Watanabe, Drew Eubanks, Eric Gordon and Chimzi Mito. They also drafted Tomani Kamara and brought back Damion Lee.
With Paul gone, Booker will likely have more playmaking duties unless the Suns acquire a starting point guard. The three-time All-Star has cemented himself among the best shooting guards in the league in the past two years.
