The Self-Lacing Nike Mag From "Back to the Future" Inspires This Book 2

It appears that Devin Booker will be the latest Nike Athlete to release a shoe in a Nike Mag-inspired colorway as his Nike Book 2 was recently previewed in a makeover that would fit right in in 1989's Back to the Future II film.

The Phoenix Suns guard took to Instagram Stories to share a series of videos that showcase both his current Nike Basketball silhouette and himself in the world of Bob Gale's screenplay. The shoe takes on a Mag-informed colorway—presumably some iteration of "Photon Dust/White/Dusty Cactus/Picante Red/Sundial/Blue Tint" given that this is the medley of tones that took over a Mag-inspired Air Tech Challenge II in August.

Booker also laced up the special makeover against the Charlotte Hornets last night, scoring 30 points and getting 7 assists in 35 minutes played.

As aforementioned, Booker also put himself within the Back to the Future universe, using what appears to be artificial intelligence to replace Marty McFly in the scene that introduced the self-lacing Nike Mag to the world 37 years ago.

Additionally, the thematic Book 2 appears atop McFly's iconic hoverboard, leaving no doubt as to the basketball shoe's inspiration.

As was the case with previous styles from Booker's catalog, it's possible the latest Book 2 pair to surface is simply a Player-Exclusive (P.E.) for now, but that an official Nike.com launch isn't completely out of the picture.
