Description
Unlike other professional basketballers, Booker doesn’t have an extensive sneaker collection. A fan of the classics, he routinely wears Converse Chuck Taylors while playing. Another silhouette he’s often spotted in are the Kobe PEs, probably the most popular basketball shoes other than Jordans. Not only because Devin was an admirer of Kobe, like so many other players past and present, but because Kobe became a mentor to Booker.
Booker’s rookie year was Bryant’s final season in the NBA. Like most hoopers his age, Booker drew aspiration from the ‘Black Mamba.’ During their first face-off, Booker asked the late Bryant to autograph his game-worn pair of kicks and Bryant etched the words ‘Be Legendary’ down the side. After Bryant tragically passed away, Booker tattooed the message on his arm and writes it on all his kicks for game day.
The Nike Book 1 Be Legendary mirrors the aesthetic of Booker’s beloved Kobe 4 PE. It features a striking all-over purple finish, complemented by black accents on the Swoosh, sockliner, and pull tab. The inspirational “Be Legendary” phrase is elegantly scripted on the lateral mudguard, encapsulating the essence of Bryant’s legacy and Booker’s tribute to his idol. Other features include a speckled midsole sitting atop a translucent outsole. The shoe’s interior construction consists of a layered Cushion 2.0 foam within the midsole and a top-loaded Nike Zoom air bag in the heel for stability and responsiveness. The exterior is a combination of a work-wear canvas and twill upper, finished off with a suede collar and a leather forefoot.
