The Suns guard grew up with a Fathead of Kevin Durant on his wall, and he told GQ about it before the release of his Book 1 sneaker.
Perhaps no NBA player is more aesthetically attractive than Devin Booker. His Instagram is filled with peaceful images of nature, and he has an impressive collection of old cars. His first signature sneaker, like his style, is low-key but sophisticated.
The three-time All-Star is set to introduce a new sneaker this season that looks less like a basketball sneaker and more like an off-court shoe: the Nike Book 1. That’s on purpose; the design was inspired by both the Air Force 1 and the historic automobile he rebuilt, a 1972 Chevy Blazer K5 he called “Uncle Larry.”
Devin Booker may be aiming for his best NBA season yet with the help of a new signature sneaker and a revamped Suns squad that has a (healthy) Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. The Suns player was recently interviewed by GQ on his off-court flair, his life-size Kevin Durant Fathead, and how designing shoes as a child helped him in his current career as a designer.
