Book 1 "Air Safari"

How’s the saying go? A leopard never changes its spots? Book is calm, cool and collected as they come. But every now and then, he’s gotta let them know. This Book 1 is an untamed take on a Nike masterpiece, drawing its inspiration from the Air Safari that took over the sneaker world in the '80s. Cult classic, meet future classic.

Book Smooth

The outside is pure Book, with a workwear-inspired upper that adds durability, while genuine leather across the forefoot provides more reinforcement and a familiar, plush, broken-in feel out of the box. The pull tab at the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story.

Stop and Go

A top-loaded Air Zoom unit in the heel provides a measure of responsive speed when taking off in the open floor and coming to sudden halts, like a two-foot Book jump stop and pump fake around the rim.

Plant and Pivot

A top-loaded midfoot strong plastic plate helps keep your foot stable when making sudden movements like sharp plants, Book-like pivots and jabs in the post. A strong plastic sidewall cage adds even more stability.

Cut Hard

The multidirectional, herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that’s ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement.

Full-Go Foam

Soft, responsive full-length foam can help you keep running and cutting in comfort.
