From the Vault
What is it about those old school Kentucky uniforms from your unc’s era that stand the test of time? It’s gotta be the denim. This special Book 2 celebrates the 30-year anniversary of those iconic threads, taking its inspiration from Book’s alma mater — the bluegrass state’s true blueblood with a long line of ‘chips and lotto picks.
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.
Cushy 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 modernized herringbone traction pattern was inspired by Book’s love for the Air Force 1, taking its cues from heritage hoops pivot circles that delivers 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.

What Reviewers Say
These shoes require a significant break-in period before reaching full comfort, though feedback confirms they feel much better once broken in. Sizing runs small and narrow—going up a half size is widely recommended for the best fit. The stiff upper material softens with wear, and the shoes deliver solid lockdown and court performance after the initial adjustment. Versatile enough for both basketball and casual wear with jeans.
