Unlike many of his contemporaries, the design language around Devin Booker's first signature sneaker with Nike, the Nike Book 1, leaned more into a retro and vintage aesthetic that Book and Nike dubbed a "future classic." This ethos has helped inform the sneaker's design, giving it the exterior look of a retro model with the interior tooling of a modern-day performance sneaker and allowing the model to borrow from classic Nike sneakers. Most of these pairs have been worn by Booker on the court, with some, like the Forrest Gump, coming to retail. Joining the PE-to-retail train is the Book 1 Mowabb.

Inspired by the Nike ACG Mowabb, the silhouette directly translates the color palette used on this '90s model onto the Book 1, specifically the OG Twine colorway. Traditional construction for the sneaker is present, using a workwear-inspired canvas twill on the midfoot panel, perforated suede on the collar and tongue, and leather panels on the mudguard and eyestays. A sesame shade is present on most of the upper, with aqua-blue pops on the collar and tongue.
