Ahead of his participation in the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, Devin Booker has unveiled a new Nike Book 2 pair.
Dubbed "Must Be the Denim," the newly-surfaced pair opts for a different material execution than the style included in Nike Basketball's "Warning Label" Collection. Shimmering, phoenix-inspired molded uppers are replaced with denim fabric across the upper. The dark blue finish is off-set with off white-colored profile swooshes and midsoles, allowing for the jeans-reminiscent textile to revel in the spotlight.
Previously, the Swoosh and Booker launched their first signature model in a denim ensemble as well. Dubbed "Blue Blood," the sneaker paid homage to the NBA guard's alma mater, the University of Kentucky Wildcats.
The "Must Be the Denim" Book 2 continues tradition, being unveiled by the college program by way of its Instagram account. A special Wildcat graphic is found on the tongue label.
It's unclear whether or not the commemorative pair will release to the public via Nike.com. While you wait, enjoy detailed shots of the sneaker ahead.
