The book 1 has been one of the weirdest sig roll outs I can remember. First off it felt like we were seeing leaks for two years, like vapor ware type stuff. Then the actual release was confusing with a select retailer in Miami getting the shoes and by the time the full release actually arrived it felt anticlimactic. The shoe itself is a great idea but ok execution and Nike imo has a problem with its middle of the road hoop shoes (kd, book, freak) where it was once dominant with the pg line. You’ve got 3 shoes that are all $20 apart and none of them stand out in any way. Nobody loves them the way they loved the pg line. And that’s without mentioning the Tatum line which is a full on train wreck. Contrast that with new balance which just has the two wxy in that product category which people love. Too many signature athletes

Thanks for sharing your insights. Stuff like these are always appreciated 🙏🏻
Maybe that means a significant price drop in the near future 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
i loved this shoe and nike's rollout was so painfully slow that i considered just buying a rep lol
There's nothing wrong with Booker using the big stage to promote existing colorways of the Book 1. Why sell just one color when you could sell 5?
…he wore an “All white” Nike Book1 with red swoosh, red heel panel and a blue midsole strip. 🙄
Yep, lapse on my part. Can this be forgiven?
