It’s been a privilege to watch Book grow up in front of our eyes in phx. From 19 win seasons to the nba finals. He continues to get better every year. These shoes are so versatile and capable of incredible color ways. I’m so pumped for him. And all of us Suns fans. Size 11 would be tight, but mostly a parade in June is what I want❤️‍🔥.

I’ve been a Suns fan from Brooklyn Ny since 05 (5 seconds or less squad). D-Book has been my favorite player since he entered the league. I got his first shoe Nike zoom and still remember his commercial “It’s gotta be the shoes” remake to Jordan’s commercial. From 2016 to 2020 was tough years but I kept watching cause of Books progression. fast forward today, he lead us to the finals, multiple playoffs, multiple allstars and 1st all nba team. This is the year, He’s gonna be MVP this year and lead my Suns to our first championship in franchise history, Book it !!! Size 9.5 😤

[@jesusisking3814]

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

A true treasure to have an athlete and a pure hearted individual like D. Book representing the Valley of the Sun. Growing up and watching the Phoenix franchise evolve from KJ to Chambers to Majerle to Barkley and now to Booker has provided nothing shy of monumental moments for the sport of basketball 🏀♥️. What an honor it continues to be for a die hard fan like myself to have this representation for the Valley of the Sun. A size 10 would be a blessing and a definitive #1 addition to my gear.

I relate with Devin as we both are of the same age. I can see his perspective of launching a shoe that can be used both in court and off court. When I was a kid I can only afford one shoe at a time. So I can see his creativity to resolve that. Must respect to you brother. Size - 8.

Devin Booker not only is a sick talent, he seems to have a good finger on the pulse of the history of the game and shoes.
