Toe Box Issues
DDang1
Shoe looks good. Unfortunately doesn’t fit true to size. The toe box is too small and can barely fit foot inside let alone hoop in them. I don’t think going .5 up would even help.

Book's quiet confidence comes both from within and the work he puts in. He would prefer to let his game and the Book 2 talk for him. Armed with game-ready tech, it's more responsive than Book's original masterpiece. Forefoot Air Zoom gives his first step a turbo boost. Player-approved Cushlon offers coast-to-coast cushion. And a super-charged sockliner gives Book soft, responsive step-in bounce. Ball in.

Book's quiet confidence comes both from within and the work he puts in. He would prefer to let his game and the Book 2 talk for him.

From the ashes of snatched ankles and clinical scoring binges, the Book 2 rises. And just like the phoenix that emerges from the flames, it's straight heat. Look for the unassailable creature along the Air Force 1-inspired traction pattern. And make your opponent dissolve with the fiery orange blaze base that's been touched by the desert sun.
We moved the Air Zoom unit from the heel to the forefoot for low-profile responsiveness.
A midfoot webbing system offers snug, soft security for quick cuts and sudden Book-like jabs and pivots.
The upper is made of a light, durable synthetic material that disappears on your foot. It helps keep you and Book feeling fresh through the fourth quarter and beyond.
The midsole is made of our newest Cushlon foam, which gives you a plush underfoot sensation, so your feet feel fresh throughout the 4th quarter.
The modernised herringbone traction pattern was inspired by Book's love for the Air Force 1, taking its cues from heritage hoops pivot circles that deliver traction and durability.

Book2 Rising Review
johnp734
Book2 RISING review: 3 stars because I’ve only had them for 2 days… but oh boy are these stiff! The material used to give the shoe its form does not feel friendly on the feet. -I’m hoping as they break in it becomes more forgiving, but definitely disappointed with the Rising model in comparison how the Book1s felt.
Under-appreciated/Underrated

Dope shoe. Very unique mid top feel on the court. Y’all gotta start half sizing up on everything nike basketball. They feel so much better with the appropriate size. True to size is dead. Wearing shoes snug is not thing anymore. It’s too much tech/padding/extra cushioning in these new school shoes. Start experimenting with your shoes in half size bigger. Even the stiffness of the upper you can appreciate more when you have the right size. Word to wise though nike. Please have hoopers/real people try these new kicks on before y'all put them out for the public. Looking forward to the mesh materials on the Spiridon colorway. Nike please make make Book 2’s with the mesh than with the molded upper. I rock with the book 2’s though don’t sleep.
