Over the past week, Devin Booker has teased his first signature sneaker via a series of behind-the-scenes videos, but Drake has provided the clearest glimpse at his Nike shoe to date.

Phoenix was where the Canadian musician, who is well-liked by basketball players worldwide, made his tour stop while sporting the Nike Book Chapter 1. The snakeskin-textured overlays of the low-top sneaker, which makes its debut in an all-orange colorway, bore a striking resemblance to the Air Force 1. Booker has frequently donned Kobe Bryant’s trademark sneakers throughout his career. Bryant, also known as the “Black Mamba,” served as a highly publicized mentor to Booker and may have been influenced by the selection of materials.

Not only does the presence of Book Chapter 1 on Drake’s feet indicate that Nike endorsers are simpatico, but it also implies that the shoe may break the protracted trend of modern basketball sneakers failing to establish a lifestyle appeal. Despite the historical significance of basketball in sneaker culture, new models have been primarily confined to the court for the past decade or so. Although classic models like the Air Jordan line and New Balance 550 are ubiquitous in daily life, it would be invigorating to see something entirely new emerge.At this time, the Nike Book Chapter 1 release details are unknown; however, they are likely to be disclosed in the near future, given that the distribution process has already commenced. Additionally, the NBA season is approaching in less than six weeks, which could present a challenging period for the shoe to fall.
