Nike Book 1 Performance Review! Is this the BEST FIRST Signature Shoe?!

[@ryanapurillo4008]

People say this shoe has no appeal. Its because they want pink, yellow green orange, glow in the dark colored shoes.😅

[@memezonlylmao.4974]

Book 1 looks exactly like air forces tho thats why nobody likes it its like a cheaper copy of af1s

[@heatcheckchuk7878]

Took inspiration from? Yes. Cheaper? F@$% no! Where are you getting your AF1s?

Very comfortable shoe on and off the court. I have 2 pairs and i been wearing my first pair mostly everyday every week. The material, the cushion are super nice. The insoles aren’t bad and the traction is holding up. I only hoop outdoors and usually Nikes last a good few weeks after hooping outdoors. I worn these on dirt, grass, concrete and they still squeak. Solid shoe and they look better worn

[@Banane3]

They last „a few weeks“? The fuck?

[@216kend3]

How’s the sizing

[@jasonbridges4530]

Shoes are great casually. Very comfortable all the way around

[@randy7425]

How's the step in comfort? How's the cushion holding up? Does it bottom out at all?

[@jasonbridges4530]

I wear them casually. Step in great, you can feel the cushion as you walk. Worn about 10 times, no creasing

[@Draginz]

Did you also size up for casual wear?

[@jasonbridges4530]

Half size up

[@mar1og31]

I have a question. What would you choose between the Ja 1s and the nike freak 4 for outdoor? I have the freak 4s, and I really like them. They lasted me for over a year. I was curious to see which one feels more bouncy and would fit my play style (I'm more into the lighter and athletic guard playstyle). Thanks for your time and all the content you provide for us!

[@danimalman3]

$140 for the cushion to be heel zoom. I need 2 for it to be $140. Just glad the materials aren't just mesh.

[@Chavanun555]

Yeah it sucks why can't they put forefoot zoom too 😅😅😅

[@80fame24]

Then the tech will be the same as the lebrons

[@danimalman3]

@@80fame24 not quite. Technically yes but not the same thickness. The lebrons are very thick. Just use a normal zoom and not a zoom turbo.

[@levine1886]

Sammy, please stop talking about how cheap the first signature shoes should be. Who says the first shoes should be cheap and trash? I would rather pay 180-200 for a pair of good shoes, instead of 110 shoes that are actually worth 60 based on the tech specs. Completely waste of time and money. Just like the ja 1s and Tatum 1s.

[@Chavanun555]

It's still not good lol😅😅

@@Meehhehe such as? I dont see anything that price with full length zoom or front and heel cushion. I would love to get good shoe in that budget

[@marcheezy.]

Maybe you should start basing your size on cm and see if there's more consistency. I've also found that fit is all over the place regardless of brand (Nike, Adidas, whoever).

[@ThePettiestLA]

Shoe has been so amazing! Working on a 39 day wear test review

[@feebslamborjimi-jt7hw]

You're even wearing the same kind of pants DBook is wearing during warmups. Nice.

Book! Versatility

[@DerryFlash90]

JA!

[@PistonsBigBen3]

I had ja ones and they were nothing special all they had was elite traction but book ones have elite traction and decent cushion so I would say book 1

[@DerryFlash90]

@Yes24411 all I feel is the cushioning in the JA 1's. It's throughout. I'm a muscular player a 6'2" 230 so the cushion is very good.

@@donlimon5429 for reference, these are the recent nike shoes I’ve had: PG 5 - developed a weird lump on the midsole within 2 months, returned under warranty PG 5 again - fell apart in 2 months Jordan 36 low - twisted my ankle like 6 times in this shoe, completely unstable. Lacing system was awful. Tossed 🗑️ KD 14 - only shoe that held up but the strap was annoying af and they were narrow, and I twisted my ankle in them. Lebron 20 - worst traction I’ve ever experienced, slipped and fell like 5 times. Way too narrow and twisted my ankle once. Tossed 🗑️ And no, I don’t usually have ankle problems. Literally never twisted my ankle in any of the other shoes I mentioned, and I’ve recently had over 10 running/basketball shoes from other brands. No ankle issues at all. Nike uses cheap materials, makes their shoes narrow to save money on materials, and simply doesn’t have well-designed shoes for normal folks (obviously the nba players get souped up and personalized versions). 🗑️ company 🚮 all my Nike shoes went in the dumpster. Will never, ever buy from them again.

Can anyone let me know how these perform for volleyball? Thanks

[@khizar5474]

What is the sizing like?

[@wyvernheartdio9757]

Similar to Lebron NXXT GEN in my opinion, I got them both. I have them in up a half size to my AJ36 to get more friendly width in the forefoot. Slightly short lengthwise is true. Padding is plush and comfortable, but looks bulky in the collar area.

People buy it because it’s Nike + the player attached to it. Not because it’s actually good. Some people just want to say they have a certain player’s shoe, or they collect them.

Agreed, they look like they don't have structure. Regardless I'll probably cop if they release the Shattered Backboard colorway.
