Nike Book 1

#basketballshoes #nike #sneakers
In this video we go over Devin Booker’s first signature shoe - the Nike Book 1:
Cushion and comfort feel great, I might consider the upper material quality and texture to be the best part. Traction has been a pleasant surprise based on my experience - this translucent outsole doesn’t even pick up too much dust, and it performs very well on a dusty court. For most people I would recommend going true to size, but be aware of a snug toe box fit that may feel like your toes are hitting against the edge on intense forward motions. Breathability is another concern, but otherwise you can think of this as a plush version of the Air Force 1 that you can definitely hoop in, and they’re lighter than average!

📚 Thoughts on the Book 1?? 🏷️ $140 USD 🟢 Material Quality & Comfort, Traction 🔴 Breathability, Toe Box Fit 🙏 Thank you for watching!!

[@SK1-PI3]

To be honest I like the look but for me it’s a bit pricey for all the “tech” I feel like there are better options for a cheaper price

[@grahamcarmichael6567]

Too narrow. Nike is phoning it in and has been for a while.

[@deadeyedan1521]

Overpriced

[@tristankhl.402]

da heck is that ending 🤣🤣🤣

[@gohomeyo]

booking for 1.. like book 1

[@so5ive271]

Mine came in this week and they exceeded my expectations. Traction is top tier on dusty courts in my experience and they are very comfortable. They also look and feel amazing in person (much better than they look in pictures and videos), the materials are premium. 10/10 would recommend

[@BeeLow0519]

Got me dying on “do you know he’s younger than you?”

[@buzzliteyear11]

I love how these look that I would wear them just as a casual shoe

[@ToddPeterson-v8o]

Literally bought these just for a casual use shoe cuz I love the look. Very comfortable, really digging them so far. Haven't hooped in them yet, but will definitely give them a try on the court.

Best shoes 2024, responsive, good traction, great cushion for guards position, stable maneuver.

[@erikjaimeduero8000]

The review i've been waiting for! Ur awesome man! Keep it up! I also went true to size with mine and it takes breaking in to get over the snug fit and mine is the solid rubber version and it also works great. It does pickup dust fast but simple wipe and youre good to go again.

[@TommyLiu4]

Thanks man!! 🙏👍

[@Itachi_Papi]

Might have to cop these. I really dig the simplistic look. My only concern is how the traction might hold up outdoors but I can totally see myself rocking them casually once it wears down which is a huge plus. Thanks for the review 🏀

[@TommyLiu4]

👍👍🙏

[@adams.gestwicki5292]

Love my pair. I'd add if someone prefer a stiff shoe, these probably won't be great for those people. I frankly am probably going to just wear these. They're lighter and more comfortable than Air Force 1's and I love the details and book theme they went with.

[@Cashmoneez]

Love this shoe as soon as I saw the orange colorway but damn didn’t like this grey pair until I saw it on feet and it’s fye

[@rafaelbondoc2312]

I really like how the show feels and the look is subtle but looks great worn casually. The construction is the biggest disappointment as there are inconsistencies in the upper and a few glue stains. Other than that I hope for more colorways

Dig the vibe most important thing - feel that - never played in these chinese brands though with the tech, is it that noticeable / helpful to have a big 3.0 quick 5 pro rather than these? Love the look and vibe here but only going to have one pair of bball shoes

Pretty terrible for a signature shoe. Looks like the heel lockdown is not that great, I think I saw some movement when you were lifting your foot. Too many cons. Design is boring, no breathability. I'd rather cop a pair of WOW shoes in this price range with better performance and design.

[@japs01tv]

I think they have plan to do a reimagine jordan shoes in long run.. turn into a sneaker colorway/ basketball wearable era.

[@TommyLiu4]

That’d be cool! Reimagined but for on-court performance with some modern tech maybe.
