How’s 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 gotta 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 at 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 multidirectional, herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that’s ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement.

Full-Go Foam

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

  • Not What I Expected - Disappointed

    I was expecting the scorpions to glow in the dark, which they did not - so, this dropped the rating for me quite a bit.

  • It’s the Black Light for me

    The Books are know for comfort and quality and this is no exception. To see these in the dark or under black light just highlights the fact that they went all out on these!!! This is #10 for me and I’m a complete fan.

    I’d never hoop in these, they are not like that lol. but goddamn what a nice shoe. They were super tight at first, yes. After a couple days they broke in and now they are my every day shoe. Perfect and crazy comfortable.
