Devin Booker Nike Book 1 “Kobe 1 Protro” PE

There's no need to say it again, but here it is: Devin Booker is a slam dunk in gym class. From his 1996 All-Star pair last season to the recent “USC Trojans” he rocked on opening night, his rotation of exclusives ensured the Nike Book 1 stayed in the headlines between retail sales . Tonight he wore what easily belongs in the upper echelons of concepts.

Inspired by his 2018 Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro PE, the Book 1 arrives in a signature Phoenix Suns colorway, dressed in a purple patent leather upper with a bright orange Swoosh logo.

Kobe Bryant hand-selected every player to ever receive a PE, and Booker was one of three players to receive this rare honor (the other two were Demar DeRozan and Isaiah Thomas). Only a limited number of couples have ever made it public; Booker gave one to PJ Tucker and Kelly Oubre Jr., former teammates of the star athlete. Of course, you can now buy a pair for about the same price as a subcompact car (there's a pair on StockX for $11,000).
