The latest addition to Nike's roster of esteemed signature athletes, we've seen Devin Booker's first signature silhouette, the Nike Book 1, make waves with a select range of colorways. As we eagerly await the model's debut in December, this hybrid lifestyle-performance sneaker has added yet another bespoke color treatment to its growing lineup.
The latest rendition of the Nike Book 1 — dubbed "Ashen Slate" — showcases a tasteful blend of muted blue tones, creating a sophisticated, tonal appearance that captures attention. The sneaker's upper boasts an array of rich textures that add depth and character to the design. A supple textile material envelops the mid-foot panel and tongue, providing a comfortable and snug fit. This textile is complemented by soft nubuck overlays and a nylon sock liner, enhancing the shoe's aesthetics and wearability.
The persistent grey treatment, a hallmark of this release, shifts in tone subtly when applied to the laces and the iconic profile swoosh. Notably, the design draws inspiration from book pages, as evidenced by the spine-like detail on the shoe, rendered in a subtle grey accent. To infuse a vibrant energy reminiscent of the Phoenix Suns' uniforms, the tongue tab and insoles feature splashes of vibrant orange. This playful contrast adds an element of surprise to the overall design.
Beneath it all, the sole unit takes on a sail hue, offering a clean and versatile foundation that ties the entire look together. Official retailer imagery of this captivating design has surfaced, hinting at an imminent release at select Nike stockists.
