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 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 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.

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.
