Devin Booker’s first signature sneaker with Nike, the Nike Book 1, has been one of the most creative sneaker lines from Nike Basketball in recent memory. Colorways have recalled some classic Nike sneakers, like the Nike Cortez Forrest Gump or the Nike ACG Mowabb Twine, which leans into Booker's love for the archival and vintage. Alongside other colorways that lean into the past, like the ‘95 All-Star rendition, Booker’s first sneaker takes the archive influence literally with the Archived colorway.
Though the pair pictured here is a sample of the colorway, which means that changes could be made in the final release version, it gives us an idea of what themes will be conveyed on the sneaker. We see a redone construction featuring nubuck on the toe and overlays, while the midfoot panel has a quilted finish. Here, the Swoosh features various Polaroid photos of Devin Booker, matching the graphic applied to the insole.
