Overview
- Booker revealed the Nike Book 2 at a media preview at Nike’s Blue Ribbon Studio in Oregon alongside lead designer Ben Nethongkome.
- The shoe features a Cushlon 3.0 midsole, a forefoot Zoom Air unit and a lowered profile aimed at enhancing court feel at lighter weight.
- Design cues include a sun‑inspired traction pattern and cactus‑needle forefoot details, extending the line’s restomod theme drawn from classic Nike models.
- Two Suns‑themed lead colorways were shown—an all‑orange Phoenix and a black Rising—along with an apparel capsule of tees, a woven jacket, game pants and hoodies.
- Nike set a January release through Nike.com and select retailers at $145 following a teaser video that framed the rollout with a “CONFIDENTIAL” case‑file motif.
