Book keeps working, chopping wood fueling his fire. Every summer he heaps a more coals on the fire, feeding the flames in the darkness so when the lights come on he’s on go. This special Book 2 speaks to the inferno that’s brewing, both with his game and his next future classic.
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 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 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.

Long break in but worth it in the long run.

LONG Break in but once you get thru that they get more and more comfortable. They are on the thicker and heavier side. I expect them to last long time and be a great multi purpose shoe. I left them in the sun for a few days and it soften the shoe up and made it easier to flex. You can also leave them in the car and soften them too.

Better lookin and better than the Book 1 with the exception of the break in period which was brutal. If you can survive that you will reap the benefits of a very well put together sneaker that gets the job done and looks dope on feet/on court.

They are stiff as people have stated but the materials are awesome. This colorway isn’t better than later Book 1s. I’m looking forward to what they dream up.
