How does the saying go? A leopard never changes its spots? Book is calm, cool and collected as they come. But every now and then, he's got to let them know. This Book 1 is an untamed take on a Nike masterpiece, drawing its inspiration from the Air Safari that took over the sneaker world in the '80s. Cult classic, meet future classic.

Book smooth

The outside is pure Book, with a workwear-inspired upper that adds durability, while genuine leather across the forefoot provides more reinforcement and a familiar, plush, broken-in feel out of the box. The pull tab on the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story.

Stop and go

A top-loaded Air Zoom unit in the heel provides a measure of responsive speed when taking off in the open floor and coming to sudden halts, like a two-foot Book jump stop and pump fake around the rim.

Plant and pivot

A top-loaded midfoot strong plastic plate helps keep your foot stable when making sudden movements like sharp plants, Book-like pivots and jabs in the post. A strong plastic sidewall cage adds even more stability.

Cut hard

The multi-directional, herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that's ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement.

Full-go foam

The soft, responsive full-length foam can help you keep running and cutting in comfort.

    Confortable et le colorway Safari rend bien

  • Very comfortable with premium materials

    jumpshotjr - 09 Dec 2025

    True to size…somewhat snug at first but breaks in fast. I like the feel and fit. Traction is great even on dusty courts. Lightweight, cushioning is great, the Air zoom in the heel is responsive, the rest of the midsole feels plush.

  • Hoops performer in stylish disguise

    Looks fire and performs perfectly for unplanned hoop sessions, Book 1s let you spontaneously cook the youngsters while on the stroll through the park xD by far best lifestyle/ hoop shoe hybrid.. also cushioning and traction work well for an old head like me.
