Overview
- Nike schedules the Book 2 launch for Friday, Jan. 2 at 10 a.m. ET via Nike SNKRS, Nike.com, and select retailers, debuting in the Black and Safety Orange “Rising” colorway at $145.
- Positioned as a low-profile performance model, the shoe features a forefoot Air Zoom unit, a Cushlon 3.0 midsole, a plush foam sockliner, and a modernized molded upper.

- An eight-piece, sun-faded apparel collection accompanies the release, paying homage to basketball culture and Booker’s career in Phoenix.
- The rollout includes a Dec. 29 secret-agent–style teaser tagged “Licensed for Skill,” following the Dec. 30 drop of the final Book 1 “Torched” edition at $155.
