Nike Book 2 "The Phoenix"

TLDR: The Nike Book 2 ‘Phoenix’ officially heralds the launch of Devin Booker's second signature shoe – with a fiery colourway, lenticular flame Swoosh and references to mythology. The sneaker will be released on 22 January 2026 for €150. As always, all the details can be found at Grailify.

After symbolically ‘burning’ the Book 1 on Instagram, Devin Booker is back with a design that perfectly matches the story of the mythical phoenix: rebirth from the ashes. The eye-catching silhouette is characterised by a moulded upper in a flowing orange colour gradient reminiscent of the iconic Foamposite.

A special eye-catcher is the flame-effect Swoosh, which changes depending on the angle of view – a visual highlight with storytelling depth. The outsole also picks up on the sun motif, while design elements from the Air Force 1 and SB Nyjah 2 round off the shoe visually and functionally. Technically, the Book 2 features a full-length Cushlon 3.0 setup with Zoom Air in the forefoot for lightweight cushioning, responsiveness and grip at the highest level.

The ‘Phoenix’ colourway is part of a three-part story arc around Booker's signature series: From the ‘Torched’ Book 1 to the “Rising” and the reborn Book 2 ‘Phoenix’.

The Nike Book 2 ‘Phoenix’ will be released on Thursday, 22 January 2026, at a price of €150.

The sneaker will be available via Nike.com, the SNKRS app and at selected Nike Basketball retailers such as Foot Locker.
If you're into strong storylines, performance technology and eye-catching colourways, this drop is a must-have. And as always, you can find all the latest updates on Book 2 and more at Grailify.
