First time using the Book 1s today in my high school practice. It looks good, and it performs good. Although the grip is questionable, it felt like I couldn’t go my all because I felt like I was going to slip. I don’t know if this occurrence was just only me, or maybe it was just the court that wasn’t mopped? But aside from that the shoe is amazing and I would definitely wear multiple times including in games. So comfortable, feels like a cloud!

Book 1 'Decade'
Basketball Shoes
Play-off master classes, 70-pointers, game-winners. Book has become one of the game's greats, all while proudly wearing the orange, purple and white. This Book 1 celebrates his decade run in the Valley of the Sun with a leather upper and orange Swoosh logo. The aged midsole speaks to the 10 years since his arrival, with his No. 1 on the heel. To top it off, the tongue label inspired by his time at the Phoenix Suns completes the vintage vibe.

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.
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.
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 and opportunistic cuts. 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.

Shoe runs small so order one size up. I love the shoe. I wish Nike would use this quality of leather on all of their shoes.
Gotta get one whole size up.

I like my shoes tighter than most because one foot is .5 size smaller than the other like Whitey in that Adam Sandler Christmas movie. I say that to say this, they totally tagged this wrong. If you’re a 12 in Jordans, get 13. I did that and 13 is nice. There’s a one star review saying it falls apart, but it seems solid out of the box.
