Nike Book 1 “Mirage V2” FJ4249-400 Ashen Slate/Light Carbon

Description

The “Ashen Slate” Book 1 boasts a sleek palette of colors, including Light Carbon, Football Grey, Summit White, and Safety Orange. The upper of this shoe is made from a combination of soft textiles and supple nubuck overlays, with perforations along the ankle collar for breathability. The interior features a cozy nylon lining. Notably, the Safety Orange accents, particularly the “Book” branding on the tongue, add a pop of vivid color, echoing the insole’s design.

This shoe also pays homage to Devin Booker’s life journey. The inner side of the shoe reveals a barcode featuring significant numbers, like his jersey number and the zip codes of Grand Rapids and Phoenix, alongside his family’s initials on the tongue tag. The heel tab, resembling the pages of a book, displays Booker’s birth year, “96”. The “Chapter One” spine on the heel is a clever nod to the shoe’s name, inspired by the spines of books.

For comfort and performance, the Book 1 features a white midsole equipped with an Air Zoom unit, Cushion 2.0 foam, and a midfoot shank. The design is rounded out with a semi-translucent outsole for enhanced grip.
