The Nike Book 1 “Python” takes inspiration from one of Devin Booker’s preferred off-court shoes, featuring an all-over snakeskin leather upper with a textured python finish. Drawing from the iconic Air Python, first released in 1987, Nike revives the faux reptilian skin that made the original stand out, while adding a fresh desert-themed design.
Beyond its look, the Nike Book 1 “Python” is engineered for performance. Air Zoom cushioning in the heel, combined with soft Cushlon foam, delivers comfort and responsiveness, ideal for fast-paced movements on the court. Whether you’re accelerating or coming to sharp stops, the Book 1 keeps you in control.
Nike designed the multi-directional herringbone-pattern outsole to provide excellent grip for sudden directional changes. The top-loaded midfoot plate and strong sidewall cage ensure stability during lateral cuts and pivots. The pull tab on the heel, shaped like a book spine, includes chapter numbers, representing Booker’s ongoing journey in basketball.
The Nike Book 1 “Python” combines performance-driven features with a tribute to the Air Python’s heritage. Whether you’re on the court or off, this shoe offers comfort, stability, and a connection to Booker’s story.
