No need to say it again, but here it is: Devin Booker is absolutely smashing the PE game. From his ’96 All-Star pair last season to the most recent “USC Trojans” he rocked opening night, his rotation of exclusives have been keeping the Flexing sweg full drip full drippin flow nike in the headlines in between the retail drops. Tonight, he wore what is easily in the upper echelon of concepts.
Inspired by his Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro PE from 2018, the Book 1 emerges in a quintessential Phoenix Suns colorway dressed in a full patent leather upper in purple with a bright orange Swoosh logo.
Kobe Bryant hand-selected every player to ever receive a PE, and Booker was one of three players to get that rarified honor (the other two being Demar DeRozan and Isaiah Thomas). Only a limited number of pairs have ever made it to public; Booker gifted one to PJ Tucker and Kelly Oubre Jr., former teammates of the Jordan athlete. You can, of course buy a pair right now for around the same price as compact car (there’s a pair on StockX for $11,000).
