Devin Booker is back in familiar territory with Nike, and this time the inspiration lives in his garage.
The Phoenix Suns guard and NBA All-Star has teamed up with the brand on a second Chevy-themed collection, a four-sneaker Book 2 project built around the vintage Impalas in Booker’s personal car collection, which he calls The Library. Booker has already shown he can turn a personal obsession into a sneaker story, and this follow-up pushes that idea even further.
"I've been a lifelong Chevy fan, and I truly love adding classic cars to my garage, The Library," Booker said. "Bringing together my Michigan roots and my passion for Chevy makes this project really special."
The first pair in the series, “Pretty Penny,” is directly tied to Booker’s 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible, the car that first sparked his love for classic automobiles. It also extends the lane Booker and Nike started with last year’s sold-out Nike Book 1 collection, which drew from his 1972 Chevy Blazer.
This new run of shoes is built around four Impalas, with the model years 58, 59, 62, and 63 each represented in the collection. Nike worked the details all the way down to the tongue, where the design nods to each car’s hood ornament rather than just using Chevy as a loose theme.
The packaging keeps the same mindset. It borrows from Chevrolet’s mid-century accessories design, using kraft paper construction with bold teal and orange graphics and oversized lettering that looks lifted from an old parts catalog.
There’s also a Heartbeat of America T-shirt in the mix, named for Chevrolet’s advertising anthem from the 80s and 90s. Across the entire drop, the stitching, packaging, and graphics are all tied to specific stretches of Chevrolet history.
Booker’s connection to the brand is being framed as something rooted in real ownership, not just a sponsorship angle. Chevrolet’s Scott Bell pointed to that authenticity, saying Booker’s tie to the company matters because it comes from genuine passion for the cars he owns.
“Pretty Penny” gets its early Detroit debut on Saturday, August 15, during the Woodward Dream Cruise, the one-day event that brings roughly 40,000 vintage cars to Woodward Avenue. Fans in Detroit can register through the Nike SNRKS Pass starting August 14, and the winners will pick up their pairs at Burn Rubber in Royal Oak.
The shoe then releases globally on August 26, while the other three sneakers in the collection are set to arrive in December 2026.

Devin Booker Has Become The Suns Question Phoenix Cant Ignore
Devin Booker has become the kind of franchise centerpiece every front office hopes to build around, but also the kind of star whose future starts to get discussed whenever a team keeps running into the same postseason wall. Booker is getting closer to 30, the Suns have not given him a long stretch of playoff certainty, and the broader conversation around the league keeps circling back to what happens when a player of his caliber spends enough time waiting for the next step that never quite arrives.
Phoenix does not have any public sign that Booker is looking elsewhere, and he has not said anything to suggest a change is coming. Still, the comparison that hangs over this situation is hard to miss, because teams that fall short enough times can eventually force even the most loyal star to weigh his options, and the Suns know that kind of uncertainty is not the sort of backdrop they can ignore for long.

Suns Face A Point Guard Dilemma That Could Shape Bookers Future
Phoenix has been linked to the idea of adding a high-end point guard, and DeAaron Fox naturally sits near the top of that conversation. He has the kind of speed and shot creation that can change an offense, but any serious pursuit comes with a steep price and the kind of long-term commitment that can limit what the Suns do next. For a team trying to keep its options open around Devin Booker, that matters as much as the name value attached to the target.
The caution here is less about Foxs talent than about the path it would take to get him. The Suns would have to think hard before moving key pieces, especially if the deal forced them to part with one of their core wings and another major asset. That is why the internal alternative also deserves attention, with Jordan Goodwin at least offering a possible stopgap if Phoenix decides the smarter play is to preserve flexibility and wait for the right point guard opportunity.
