Nike and Foot Locker’s Crenshaw Rec grand opening over the weekend was a celebration of all things Los Angeles, complete with a basketball tournament, restaurant pop-ups, and, of course, exclusive sneaker releases. In addition to a Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro in Crenshaw High colors, the Foot Locker x Nike activation brought out a matching Book 2 The Shaw PE.
Just like the Kobe 3 pair, the Book 2 is a tribute to the Crenshaw High School Cougars, bringing together the local school’s blue and gold shades with a classic home white base. To bring the PE theme together, a “The Shaw” logo is added to the gold insoles.

Featuring white on the netted top half, a brilliant blue shade curves around the bottom section of the upper, from toe to heel. A shiny metallic gold Swoosh pops on the side panel, with more blue on the embroidered border and on the sockliner. Lastly, even more blue pops on the two-tone lace loops and tongue stabilizer.
The Nike Book 2 Crenshaw was released August 22, 2026 at the Crenshaw Rec, with no further drops planned at this time. To keep up with all the latest exclusive Nike news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
