Nike Book 1 Kobe 1 Protro PE

Devin Booker, known for his excellence on the court and his exclusive selection of sneakers, has once again caught the attention of sneaker enthusiasts with a special Player Exclusive (PE) of his Nike Book 1. This latest release features a colorway inspired by the Phoenix Suns, revealed during a recent game against the Lakers in Los Angeles.

Inspired by Booker's 2018 Nike Kobe 1 Protro PE, this version of the Nike Book 1 features a striking purple patent leather upper accented by a bold orange Swoosh – a nod to the Suns' signature colors. The design combines performance-driven aesthetics with a color scheme that will resonate with fans of Booker and the Suns.

Notably, Booker joins a small group of players, including DeMar DeRozan and Isaiah Thomas, who received their own Kobe PEs. However, unlike many PEs with high demand, public availability remains low. Booker has previously gifted pairs of his coveted Kobe 1 Protro PEs to former teammates PJ Tucker and Kelly Oubre Jr., creating a sense of exclusivity and awe around his footwear collection.

Due to the limited availability and the high attractiveness, the Nike Book 1 “Kobe 1 Protro” PE has become a rare find. Secondary marketplaces like StockX offer these exclusive kicks at high prices, sometimes up to $14,000. While fans may dream of seeing this version of Book 1 in stores, it's unlikely that this PE will ever see a wide release.

Take a closer look at this stunning sneaker, a mix of Kobe heritage and Suns pride – perfectly tailored for one of today's brightest stars, Devin Booker.
