Book 2 "Must Be The Denim"
Basketball Shoes
Book’s quiet confidence comes both from within and the work he puts in. He would prefer to let his game and the Book 2 talk for him. Armed with game-ready tech, it’s lighter and more responsive than Book’s original masterpiece. Forefoot Air Zoom gives his first step a turbo boost. Player-approved Cushlon offers coast-to-coast cushion. And a super-charged sockliner gives Book soft, responsive step-in bounce. Ball in.

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 it 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.
Book’s foot sits on top of a responsive sockliner, offering the star a fast step-in feel.
