Devin Booker loves his new shoe.

Devin Booker has been an incredible player for the Phoenix Suns over these last few years. Overall, he is someone who is looking to prove himself as a champion. Although he came close in 2021, the Suns ultimately came up a bit short. Now, however, he is on a team with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Many are expecting this Suns team to be a real title contender this year. It may be difficult for them to win it all, but they do have an amazing shot to prove some doubters wrong.

Additionally, Booker is going into this season with his first-ever signature sneaker. Booker was actually given his very own model with Nike. The Nike Book 1 has proven to be an interesting silhouette. On Monday, Booker appeared on the Complex show Sneaker Shopping where he got to speak at length about his new offering. As he explains, he wanted to create something that was a lifestyle-basketball hybrid. Essentially, something he could wear all day and then hop into the gym for some hoops with.
