I'm picturing a warehouse-inspired design with bulk-pack styling - maybe a rubber outsole that could handle concrete floors and sample stations. Will they only be released in Coscto? Will they be totally cheap? Do you have to buy them in a bulk case? So many questions...

The Book 1's final colorway is a subtle nod to resilience. Devin Booker's signature shoe goes out with a muted, textured design that feels more like a thoughtful farewell than a loud statement. The different colorways and stories on the Book 1 have been some of Nike's best basketball work in years.
