Devin Booker is a craftsman who can lose a defender with an ankle-snatching stutter-go, then come back with a series of spellbinding jabs into a splashed jumper. Book’s signature shoe gives him the tools he needs to carve. With leather accents highlighting a super-smooth upper and a speedy, yet cushioned ride, this design can help you explore the spaces created by your piercing footwork and hungry hooper soul. Book Smooth The outside is pure Book, with a workwear-inspired upper adds durability, while a suede collar and genuine leather across the forefoot provide more reinforcement and a familiar, plush, broken-in feel out of the box. The pull tab at the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story. Stop and Go A top-loaded Zoom Air unit in the heel provides a measure of responsive speed when taking off in the open floor and coming to sudden halts, like a 2-footed Book jump stop and pump fake around the rim. Plant and Pivot A top-loaded midfoot strong plastic plate helps keep your foot stable when making sudden movements like sharp plants, Book-like pivots and jabs in the post and opportunistic cuts. A strong plastic sidewall cage adds even more stability. Cut Hard The multidirectional, Herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that’s ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement. Full-Go Foam Soft, responsive full-length foam can help you keep running and cutting in comfort.

I honestly love the Book 1 style, and the rattlesnake is nice out of the box. Comfortable shoes, slightly small, but I expected this. I'm traditionally a 11.5-12, but I ordered 12 and it's essentially the right fit, but maybe 1/8th tight on long walks.

Bought these shoes a few days ago, shipping was quick came in sooner than it said it would be. First impression wow these are nice. Almost like white air forces but better. I’ve worn these out twice and have received multiple compliments on them. The only thing I don’t like is the shoelaces. They seemed a little cheap and very hard to get dirt out of them. I switched the shoe laces the second day I had them. Not a big enough reason to give it a 4 star they are still 5 star shoes I just had to change the shoelaces to make them better.

The Book 1s are S-Tier and out of every Nike basketball shoe I've tried, I rank them #2 right below the Kyrie 6s. Yes they're better than the Lebron 21s imo because they're more stable, comfortable and I don't feel like I'm going to roll my ankles in them like I did at times with the Lebron 21s. I've tried almost every Nike basketball shoe that comes out too. What I love about the Kyrie 6s is that they're low to the ground and I feel like I'll never roll my ankles with them, but they also have cushion and have a nice bounce to them. The Book 1s come so close in performance as the Kyrie 6, but because the sides are a hard right angle instead of rolled like the Kyrie 6s, there's a tipping point to when your ankle WILL roll if you land on your feet weirdly.

BUT, they're so low to the ground and have great court feel that I don't think that's ever going to happen because the base of the shoes are so wide. So when making hard stops or extreme lateral movements, you don't have to worry about your ankle rolling and I feel very stable in them. They're also super comfortable and I have slightly wide feet. I went true-to-size, whereas with the Kyrie 6s I had to go up a half size. I think the Book 1s would've been too big if I went up half a size and I would've lost stability. Honestly get these shoe and give them a try. Plus they look so dang good on your feet and for casual wear. This is just a great all around shoe.

I didn't expect to like these as much as I did when I got them in hand. The lace aglets are metal that matches the lilac color of the upper which is a nice touch. This is my third pair of the book 1 and this colorway is unique because it's got a solid rubber outsole and a nice suede like material along with the glossy plastic swoosh which makes it stand out.
Love the fit, very cushioned and comfortable. And it’s my favorite color purple! Would have given it 5 stars but the sizing is terrible. I had to go up a complete full size to get a pair that fit . These run a full size small so keep that in mind when ordering. But once you get the right sizing they are great!
I have two different colors of this shoe and by far the most comfortable shoe I have. I know they are for basketball but I how the look I wear them more casually and I love them. If you like how air forces look but want something comfortable these are the best choice.
Love the Haven colorway. I suggest going a 1/2 size up. I wear a 9.5 and have narrow feet and they were a bit snug. I’m wearing as a casual shoe instead of basketball shoe due to the snug fit. Looks like an elevated Air Force 1
These run small!:( I already ordered a half size up per other reviews. Yet they’re still snug in the front, exchanged again, another half size up, right toe STILL touching the front. So even a “full” size up they’re small. They’re so comfortable (padding, sole, soft!) but will return now, the sizing on these is definitely off
When I first saw this sneaker online I hated the look. My mind has changed and it’s grown a lot on me. So comfortable, very nice ankle support and great cushioning. I would recommend going up half a size because they run very snug. Great for basketball but also very stylish for lifestyle use. Highly recommend.
I loved these shoes. The fit, support, and heel cushioning is really nice. These are not an explosive shoe, but they have a great blend between impact protection and court feel that allows for quick, precise footwork.
