Devin Booker, the Phoenix Suns’ star shooting guard, is set to release his latest Nike Book 1 “Hike” colorway on April 6th. This unique sneaker draws inspiration from Booker’s adventurous treks through the desert wilderness surrounding Phoenix, incorporating a menagerie of exotic animal prints and patterns that reflect the diverse fauna he encounters on the trail.
The Nike Book 1 “Hike” is a testament to Booker’s willingness to venture off the beaten path, both in his personal life and in his footwear choices. The design is a nod to the classic “Animal Pack” and “Wild Beast” iterations of Nike classics, but with Booker’s distinctive twist.
The shoe’s upper is a canvas for a variety of textures and patterns, each representing a different creature from the desert. Rattlesnake and other snakeskins dominate the primary quarter panel, while a croc-embossed textured suede appears at the toe-box and Swoosh. The mudguard and heel feature a standard scaly look, and a hairy panel lines the collar, adding an extra layer of depth to the design.
With its 80s-inspired aesthetic and premium materials, the Nike Book 1 “Hike” is a bold statement piece that showcases Booker’s creativity and fearlessness both on and off the court. The slightly elevated $150 price tag is justified by the high-quality snakeskin and suede that define this pair.
