Previewed initially as a Player Exclusive in late 2023, the Book 1 "Neon" is more than just another nod to a Nike classic—it's deeply personal for Devin Booker and his family. Born in 1996, just a year after the Air Max 95’s debut, Booker grew up around the silhouette as his father, Melvin, frequently rotated pairs—including the original grey, black, and neon green colorway.
Staying true to its Air Max 95 roots, the Book 1 "Neon" features layered nubuck and quilted textile overlays in shades of cool grey, mimicking the gradient fade of the original 1995 runner. The black mudguard and midsole echo the Air Max 95’s signature contrast, while bright neon accents energize the profile Swooshes, tongue tab, and heel spoiler. Underfoot, a semi-translucent outsole is tinted in a vibrant neon finish, bridging the aesthetic gap between heritage running and modern basketball performance.
With the OG Air Max 95 "Neon" returning for Air Max Day 2025, the Nike Book 1 "Neon" extends the 30-year legacy of one of Nike’s most influential designs onto the hardwood. Sneaker Market expects the pair to drop in Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers, with more details to follow in the coming months.
In other news from Nike, Inc., the Air Jordan 12 "Taxi" is set for a return in 2025.
