Men's Book 1 "Air Safari" Basketball Shoes

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. []
