Nike expands the global reach of the Book 1 with a special “CHBL” edition, honoring the Chinese Basketball League (CHBL). This exclusive release highlights Nike’s deep-rooted connection with China’s basketball culture.

The Book 1 “CHBL” features a clean white leather base, creating a timeless look. Light blue accents appear on the heel, a nod to past CHBL-inspired designs. The most striking detail is the gradient velvet-embroidered Swoosh, shifting from deep red to golden copper. This touch adds a premium feel to the performance-focused sneaker.

Devin Booker’s signature model has launched in multiple eye-catching colorways, but this China-exclusive stands out. It reinforces Nike’s dedication to growing the Book 1’s international presence. The release aligns with Nike’s ongoing sponsorship of CHBL, China’s top collegiate basketball league.

Currently, the Nike Book 1 “CHBL” is only available in China for $140 USD. There is no official word on a wider release, but fans outside China will have to wait for updates.

Nike continues to strengthen its influence in global basketball, ensuring the Book 1 resonates worldwide. Keep an eye out for more international releases in the future.
