Took awhile to break in but they’re pretty solid after that. I feel really locked in with this shoes, does have a little bulkier sneaker feeling like a Nike SB shoe but I like it. I had absolutely no issues with my heel slipping, my shoelace actually came undone and I played about 3 minutes with an untied shoe and was able to run around just fine. I can see why people won’t like it when they fist try it on but you gotta give it time to break in.

Book 2 'The Phoenix'
Basketball Shoes
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 lighter and 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.

From the Ashes
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.
Zoom Zoom
We moved the Air Zoom unit from the heel to the forefoot for low-profile responsiveness.
Snug Fit
A midfoot webbing system offers snug, soft security for quick cuts and sudden Book-like jabs and pivots.
Lightweight Upper
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.
Comfy foam
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.
AF1-Inspired Traction
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.
More Benefits
- Book’s foot sits on top of a responsive sockliner, offering the star a fast step-in feel.
- A midfoot webbing system offers snug, soft security for quick cuts and sudden Book-like jabs and pivots.

Great lockdown, no heel slips. Stiff material like foamposites, but comfortable after break in period.
