Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker turned heads ahead of the team’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons by debuting a striking Nike Book 1 “Lions” PE. The custom sneaker, designed to pay homage to Booker’s Michigan roots and his allegiance to the Detroit Lions, made waves on and off the court.
This special edition features a sleek black upper, with shiny metallic accents highlighting the iconic Nike Swoosh. The blue Detroit Lions logo on the heel solidifies the tribute, adding a personalized touch. The design pairs seamlessly with the neoprene materials and streamlined silhouette of the Nike Book 1, showcasing Booker’s love for both basketball and football.
Booker’s Lions-inspired footwear wasn’t the only buzz of the day. The game coincided with the Detroit Lions’ divisional playoff clash against the Washington Commanders, setting the stage for friendly rivalry. Booker, a dedicated Lions fan, shared that he and teammate Kevin Durant, a Commanders supporter, placed a playful wager on the game’s outcome.
Despite the hype, Nike has confirmed that the Book 1 “Lions” PE will remain a player exclusive and will not be released to the public. Fans, however, can appreciate Booker’s creativity and connection to his hometown as he continues to shine on the court.
This latest debut adds to Booker’s growing influence in the sneaker world and demonstrates the versatility of the Nike Book 1 silhouette, blending sport and personal storytelling. While fans may not get their hands on the “Lions” PE, they can look forward to more exciting iterations of Booker’s signature line in the future.
