The initial roll out of the Nike book one had a bumpy start.
Drake unveiled the product at a concert in Phoenix and that would be a nice start however, product sells product more than endorsements.
This is where the problems began, because the initial images of the sneakers were not receiving a positive buzz
Skate shoes, retros, “These are basketball sneakers”
Us sneaker folks want some sort of crossover from lifestyle to performance, but we are these the answer?
The model does appear "boring" however, I'm telling you as of the point of this video that we were wrong.
After finally, getting these in hand, I can say that these are much better than expected, quality, craftsmanship, comfort, definitely like what we have in hand and on feet
A skilled shot-creator and elite scorer, Devin Booker always steals the spotlight without even trying. The Nike Book 1-Book’s debut signature shoes bring the perfect fusion of aesthetics and performance you need to become the perfect playmaker, just like Book. Flaunting a soft, smooth suede upper with a hint of soft twill, these silhouettes feel ultra-light on your feet and offer a breathable, broken-in feel. The leather on the pinky toe side brings a dash of Book’s style while enhancing durability. Featuring an Air Zoom Unit in the heel, these sneakers offer responsive cushioning and allow explosive movements, helping you jump higher than before for all your dunks. Greatness is waiting for you! Grab the Nike Book 1 and start working towards it.
*Nike Book 1 features:*
- Long plastic plate on the pinky toe side of the forefoot enhances stability.
- Soft, full-length foam ensures all-day comfort.
- Multidirectional traction pattern delivers exceptional grip, making stopping on a dime and re-accelerating a breeze.

I can understand why some people don’t like the shoe, but if you know anything about Booker the design makes a lot of sense. The guy is into vintage cars and retro outfits and stuff so it matches his style… “It didn’t looked like a basketball shoe, it’s very casual looking, it’s not like anything a professional basketball player should be performing in…” Those words, instead of threw me off, are what makes this shoe interesting

@radcanvas Месяц назад

Exactly. That's why we like 'em. Not everyone has good style, anyways.

@rhettclark9703 Месяц назад

This shoe is so darn underrated. One of my favorite shoes within the last 5 years. Great looking, comfortable, and can wear on or off the court. Please drop the cool greys for the Book 1 ! So many great options in the future. The slate colorway is the best so far

@joecruz9368 Месяц назад

Always enjoy your shows. I've felt the same way, some shoes don't appeal to me at first . Your reviews are informative.

@Muzikman2k11 Месяц назад

I think they're very wearable from a casual perspective. I bought one for that sole purpose. They're definitely underrated! Agree with your thoughts on these. If I am to nitpick, maybe another zoom unit in the forefoot for extra comfort would make this awesome

@cl_smoov5124 Месяц назад

Yes, the heel tab is supposed to be like pages in a book.

@giogiogiogi0 Месяц назад

Adidas AE 1 have overshadowed them

@danimalman3 Месяц назад

They are better for the price imo.

@Ironlacka Месяц назад

Who

@jesseanderson6356 Месяц назад

The AE 1s are so ugly man….

@ovojdabanks210 5 дней назад

No its just that the book 1s are way too limited for a “gr” shoe

@anthonylopez4597 Месяц назад

Hes it was cool meeting you and the fam today at the Nike clearance

@evoben24 Месяц назад

Devin Booker is my favorite player right now. I have the Mirage, Mirage V2 and Haven colorways. Didn’t care about the hate

@PhxSlimReaper35. 18 дней назад

As it should be, people will always criticize but overall it’s all about what you personally like not about the hype at all 💯

@joshbabbitt9243 Месяц назад

Im watching you vid to hope I was wrong here, lol. Btw; Hes...did you hit on the DOAF Oregon AM1?? 😮 I had to scoop not long after the drop for resale, but it was so worth it to me.

@datharo5 Месяц назад

I like how you shouted out Gilbert arenas without actually saying his name lol...Thabo Sefolosha is another one that comes to mind that wears runners instead of basketball shoes, he only wore air Max 90s

@Kwamikaze88 Месяц назад

Weartesters had this colorway in a solid rubber outsole from an ebay seller and even though it was a minor change, that sold me on this particular color, at least. I'd consider giving these a try after the various positive reviews I've seen on youtube now.

@Dj_pound Месяц назад

I just ordered the fresh foam rcvry foam shoes from new balance. I haven’t seen any reviews on it yet

@danielspangler5931 Месяц назад

Absolutely love my pair and look forward to more cws. I personally had to go up half size

@trendinguk Месяц назад

Modified AF1

@michaelmarks9002 Месяц назад

Jordan 1, blazer and af1 were the inspo he stated it.

@zurielvalladares5947 16 дней назад

I digged em since the 1st leak. They simple but cool. Just copped a pair of the hike colorway. So dope

@alphatango7720 Месяц назад

Same, want to get a pair in hand but not in any type of rush, if that makes sense. The review helps tho!

@HLGMEntertainment Месяц назад

Loved them from the start amazing shoe one of the best Nike basketball shoes for years 👌🏻👌🏻

@joshhenry2446 Месяц назад

Like the look of these I wanna get a pair to skate in.

@bradfoster8146 Месяц назад

I really like them. I like the blazer style swoosh and the simplicity of the shoe.

@johnc7054 Месяц назад

Those shoes look very comfy I need em.

@josepha.4072 Месяц назад

Its an AF1 type simple silhouette with more modern basketball tech incorporated

@peleh1 Месяц назад

I went full size up after trying the TTS for a few days.

@phillip_reynolds Месяц назад

I’ve liked the look of the Book 1 better as more colorways have released but I think that some of that is from how the design team borrowed elements from other iconic silhouettes in the Nike archive. The Book 1 is ok but it’s not putting a dent in what Adidas Basketball is doing right now. As far as casual wear, I’ll just stick to New Balance.

@chookie9789 Месяц назад

I really liked them , I was sceptical about it, but I was happy I could use it on and off the court

@younggotti8195 Месяц назад

I’d never wear them to play in but I’d rock them casually if/when they hit steep discount

@davidm4773 Месяц назад

I think these are sick! I want to get some

@yuditera405 Месяц назад

That's funny because the Book 1 is weirdly enough one of the best sneakers Nike has. They're simple but yet good enough. Suede is nice on them. I'd do a AM1 suede mesh combination with the right colour blocking it will be a big sleeper. ❤

@nelson4869 Месяц назад

It's like a premium AF1. But is there a huge market for that? Maybe, maybe not. It's selling well but there's not huge buzz behind it, which matches the shoe: solid not spectacular. Personally I will need to see better colorways before I part with my cash.

@eversway7540 19 дней назад

I like the design, but, I'd like a different color sole. Maybe something like the 39's.

@antberrios75 Месяц назад

I thought they were fire the first time I saw them. Looks like an AF1 which is my favorite shoe.

@happygilmore1632 Месяц назад

these are fire!!! i dont understand why people dont like this is it because it's a classic look and people prefer that abstract with 1 million colors in it... Damn. People sometimes got no taste bro

@WrongWayJ Месяц назад

Ive always liked the shoe just want to see better colorways.

@chikish Месяц назад

I don't play ball but just as a casual consumer I would totally buy these _if I could find them anywhere_ lol.

@thedizude2005 Месяц назад

Like the shoe, but not this color way. I’ll definitely pick up a pair when they drop some other colors

@johnmcduggle4032 Месяц назад

Mcenroe's Challenge Court.... Almost dime for dime.... I wish they'd retro then but until the.... Book I will do..... 8/10

@squishymcsquisherson Месяц назад

I wasn't feeling these from Day 1. Then I saw this colorway, in person, for the first time last weekend at House of Hoops. Once I actually had them in hand, checked how light they were, how good the materials were and really got a good look at them, flipped my opinion.

@danimalman3 Месяц назад

Can you do the avia 830

@d1andonlyed Месяц назад

I think these one of the cheapest hoop shoe out on the market. Might have to scoop a pair. And these definitely give off an AF1 vibe on the casual tip.

@slickeddy2000 Месяц назад

Same they look like a modified AF1

@marksense5566 Месяц назад

Can’t justify the price point. If I can cop a pair for $90-$100, I will. Likely a different colorway. The “Moss Point” dropping in the Spring are pretty clean. Heard 1/2 size up for wider feet ala Jordan 4. Can anybody confirm?

@fruto. Месяц назад

Apparently everyone hates them yet they’ve been selling out 😂

@samharmon4692 Месяц назад

I’ve actually been wanting a pair since I first saw them. What an easy shoe to rock. Why wouldn’t I want them?

@stephendinon7658 Месяц назад

Love these shoe

@dgoody84 Месяц назад

I always thought these were clean i really don't understand the hate. A clean, simple classic Nike with nice looking materials like whats the issue? 🤷‍♂️

@stalefacegoldteeth Месяц назад

Loved them from jump, I have 6 pairs and counting.

@skinsfan4ver21 Месяц назад

How do they fit? I don’t have wide feet or anything, do they fit true to sz I know shoe is based off like a AF1/dunk/blazer those shoes as well as Jordans 1-5s I wear a 9.5 everything else I wear a sz 10 so how would you say sz if I order online

@DanielSala86 Месяц назад

I don't get the hate on this shoes... I think Book actually accomplished what Nike has been trying to do... a Basketball shoe that can be worn casually too. I saw them in person a couple of weeks ago and they looked very nice.

@roberttrotter2814 Месяц назад

I'm sorry those are not it I would never pay 140 for those those they def give me shoe carnival rack room vibes😂 that's a no go for bro👎🏾

@Terronage Месяц назад

Botched launch, right up to the fact they're unavailable now. They look ok, your video is the closest ive seen them and you're right, better than I expected. But rather than letting the shoe speak for itself, they decided to make false hype with that limited first drop of the best, imo, CW and then nothing but PEs that no one could buy. And because the shoe is nice, but not special, people just shrugged and kept it moving. And there is no excuse that there arent GR numbers available of it now except theyre trying to make something that should happen naturally. Ill get a pair when they drop a CW I want and I dont have to jump hurdles. I dont know how they screwed this up so poorly. Ja Morant's shoe launched with none of the theatrics.

@kakitangan195 9 дней назад

The hike made me seriously consider this

@EncyclopediaSneakerica Месяц назад

I think the biggest knock has been it adds nothing to the conversation while adidas seems to be pushing boundaries with signature shoes that continue from where EQT left off. EQT was too far ahead in the ‘00s, but the world seems ready in 2023-2024. You described this as something that hits on a retro level as though Nike needs more retros. The brand just announced its slowing production of retros including AF1. That opinion stands after your review. That stated, it’s a casual wearable shoe. ✌🏽💙👟

@louloop9137 Месяц назад

So basically, this is the "PROTO" JORDAN 1 LOW if Jordan brand should have updated the J1 line properly 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

@alexguisado5046 Месяц назад

They look like a "mid" version of the Field Generals

@germainekeguynes2080 Месяц назад

I've seen a RU-vid channel make a Grinch color way in 2k24.

@terrencebryant7518 Месяц назад

I love you content but let’s be honest if they didn’t have a Nike logo on them no one would want them. They look like the Sabrina 1’s. By the way just got the lebron 21’s on Nike in the oil green for 78. Great sale going on.

@SincerelyJ927 Месяц назад

It grew on me...but i do want to see more colorways

@denniejensen390 Месяц назад

I like it👍🏽

@solemagus4761 Месяц назад

It’s a clean shoe.. I like when shoes look good regardless of who’s signed on them.

@ralami6183 Месяц назад

I see more people praise these than hate them. I don’t like them tho, reminds me of shoes I seen at Kohl’s as a kid.

@alvin081988 Месяц назад

I don't really believe Dbook deserve a signature....kinda wish they continue the PG line or shoulve signed Anthony Edwards or have not release Joker

@Aijames Месяц назад

id wear them casually but I wouldn't ball in them. just not my thing, I like the lighter more breathable shoes.

@HardKnocks160s Месяц назад

Those things are light.

#1 issue is the fit. 2E wide PASS.

@kakitangan195 9 дней назад

Interesting, someone in reddit said this is wide foot friendly

@bryanlyricsbbm Месяц назад

why is the resale so FREAKING HIGHHHHHHHHHH. 😠😠😠😠😠😠

@MAJEKL5wt Месяц назад

I Was a fan of the Book 1 from the start. Can't wait to see more colorways and maybe Nike By You option...

@birdy808 Месяц назад

These look like old man loafers. I like the colorway though 😮

@runthefuture Месяц назад

Sabrina 1s seem better than these in looks and performance

@ChainShah713 Месяц назад

Ae1 is better and for $120

@Tac0maAr0ma Месяц назад

It’s a fine shoe but feels overpriced in comparison to other shoes

@jasonbridges4530 Месяц назад

This shoe goes hard casually. Very comfortable

@donaldhodge6549 Месяц назад

Very underrated sneaker. The roll out and color ways that have dropped are underwhelming for a debut shoe. Nike has dropped the ball with The Ja 1 and this one too.

@DR.DisInfect Месяц назад

I like em

@gerryverstrepen5973 Месяц назад

Why do they make shoes with such a narrow width in the middle of the bottom, does anybody know? I can't imagine anybody having such a narrow midfoot except for children.

@michaelm9743 Месяц назад

Ive liked the book 1 since i saw the first image. I’ve never understood the hate personally. His vision for how it looks and how it’s tooled makes sense

@GreekSneakCollector Месяц назад

Come on Nike, that's enough with clear rubber outsoles!

@simonesguerra7043 Месяц назад

The combination of the athlete, how they rolled it out, and unoriginal colorways built the hate for it. They teased us with SBB inspired colorway which had nothing to do with the athlete. It looks good no doubt, but nike needs to use “write the book” with fresh colorways related to the athlete.

@BKthoroughbred Месяц назад

They are plain looking. Essentially a cloth Air Force 1 Low.

@TheKesavan08 Месяц назад

Looks like old man shoes.

@ChartistGammon Месяц назад

I am old man 😂

@omarmartinez699 Месяц назад

@yummdiddy Месяц назад

These shoes are hideous. Half roshe and half Air Force. Terrible

@MG-qd6im Месяц назад

Very underwhelming and destined for Ross Dress For Less

@tonchie23 Месяц назад

The shoe is better than the player :) I mean, he's a good basketball player, but he chokes in critical moments.

@rawsanity27 Месяц назад

I think it is one of the lamest Nikes signature shoes that I have pretty much ever seen, EXTREMELY BORING 😴 These are an easy pass for Me. It'd have to be something absolutely insane for a new colorway to interest Me.
