Devin Booker and Nike Gift University of Kentucky a Book 2 PE Ahead of March Madness

The NCAA PE sneaker heat has been strong all season, but as we dive into conference tournaments and inch closer to March Madness, the shoe brands are turning things up a notch, bringing out PEs for star players and heavy-hitting teams stepping into the Final Four hunt.

The University of Kentucky Women’s Basketball Team is the latest squad to show out in a fresh PE, channeling All-Star alumni Devin Booker with a blue and white colorway of the Nike Book 2. Kentucky faces off against conference-leading South Carolina in the SEC Tournament, so the Wildcats will need as much of Booker’s good luck as possible.

The PE colorway is perfectly matched to Booker’s alma mater, adding Kentucky blue to the bottom half of the upper and crisp white mesh to the top section, with blue accents on the sockliner and lace loops, and a see-through Swoosh on the side panel. A Kentucky Wildcats logo is added to the lateral heel for a personalized team touch.

This PE won’t be released to the public, so unless you know Booker personally or have an in with the Kentucky Women’s team, you’re better off trying for the Book 2 Must Be the Denim Kentucky tribute pair.
