Devin Booker stays true to his roots: with the Nike Book 2 “Must Be The Denim”, he once again pays tribute to his college days with the Kentucky Wildcats. After similar designs already caused a stir with the Book 1, Nike is taking things a step further with the second signature model – releasing the former PE look as a general release.

The highlight is clearly the denim upper, which gives the performance trainer an unusually rugged yet lifestyle-oriented look. The denim aesthetic runs across the entire shoe and is complemented by royal blue accents on the laces, lining and outsole – a clear nod to Kentucky’s iconic team colours.

Small details also help tell the story: on the tongue, you’ll find a graphic illustration of the Wildcats, subtly emphasising the college connection. At the same time, the silhouette remains true to the minimalist approach we’ve come to know from the first model – inspired by classics like the Air Force 1, combined with modern performance elements.

Technically, the Book 2 is naturally at home on the court, but this colourway demonstrates once again just how strongly Nike is currently blending performance and lifestyle.
