In a recent splash on social media, the Phoenix Suns showcased star guard Devin Booker sporting the Nike Book 2: University of Arizona PE shoes. These kicks are decked out in the classic red and blue colors of Arizona, featuring a cactus logo on the back and the iconic Nike Swoosh in silver.
Booker rocked these vibrant sneakers during a 122-115 game against the Toronto Raptors. The design includes a striking white trim with additional red accents on the bottom, adding a fresh twist to the Arizona-themed look. Booker, a Nike athlete since his 2015 draft by Phoenix, continues to make waves with his signature style.
Nike's partnership with Booker began with the release of the Nike Book 1 back in November 2024. These all-orange sneakers marked the start of an exciting journey in Nike’s signature family. According to Nike, the goal was to craft something timeless, drawing inspiration from classic silhouettes like the Air Force 1, Blazer, and AJ1.
Adding a personal touch, Booker infused elements from his restored 1972 Chevy Blazer K5 into the design of the Nike Book 1. This blend of personal style and classic design has made the Book series stand out in the sneaker world.
As a Nike-affiliated school, the University of Arizona might soon see their athletes sporting the Book 2s, thanks to an ongoing contract with Nike that runs through 2033. This deal ensures that Arizona's 20 athletic programs are well-equipped with top-notch Nike gear, keeping them competitive and stylish.
