Product Information
Full details
The Nike Book 1 is engineered for basketball players who emulate Devin Booker's crafty, dynamic playstyle, offering the precision and comfort needed to dominate the court. Its combination of durable workwear-inspired materials and responsive cushioning provides a 'broken-in' feel from the first wear, enabling agile footwork and powerful jumps. While optimized for athletic performance, users should note its specialized design may be less suited for general casual wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
While durable, the Nike Book 1 is optimized for indoor basketball courts. Frequent outdoor play may lead to faster wear on the outsole and upper materials.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Nike Book 1 generally runs true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the performance-oriented design. If you're between sizes, consider your foot width.
What is the 'broken-in' feel mentioned?
This refers to the shoe's design, which incorporates materials like the suede collar and plush internal padding to provide immediate comfort and flexibility, similar to a shoe that has already been worn and molded to your foot.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and structural integrity of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided for optimal maintenance.
What is the significance of the pull tab design?
The pull tab on the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story. This is a signature design element reflecting Devin Booker's personal narrative.
Do these shoes offer good ankle support?
The Nike Book 1 features a supportive upper and lacing system designed to provide secure lockdown and stability during dynamic movements inherent to basketball, contributing to overall ankle support. It's not a high-top design, but the internal structure provides good containment.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound on court
A common issue, often due to dust or debris on the outsole. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to ensure it's clean. If new, some squeaking can occur during break-in.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The 'broken-in' feel is immediate, but allow a few wears for the shoe to fully mold to your foot. Adjust lacing for a custom fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size up or a wider fit if available (Info needed: available width options).
Lack of grip on court
Check the outsole for excessive dust or debris; clean with a damp cloth. Over time, outsole patterns can wear down; evaluate if the tread is still effective. Ensure the court surface is clean.
Material (leather/suede) appears dull or dirty
Clean promptly with a soft, damp cloth for light dirt. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear with leather and suede components. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Nike Book 1 is designed for immediate use, offering a plush, 'broken-in' feel straight out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness to secure your foot for optimal performance.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for indoor basketball court use, offering optimal grip and support on hardwood surfaces. While durable, extensive outdoor use may accelerate wear on the outsole.
Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Nike Book 1 shoes, wipe the leather and suede sections with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather and suede cleaner according to product instructions. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or drying to prevent damage to materials and structure.
