As Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) kicks off, special player-edition sneakers are starting to surface. One standout is the Nike Book 1 EYBL, made exclusively for EYBL athletes and not for public release.
This is the second EYBL-themed Book 1, following last year’s “Peach Jam” edition. The 2025 version is dressed in rich indigo blue leather, giving it a premium finish. Black hits land on the tongue, lining, and outsole, adding contrast and depth. The signature detail is a chrome-finished Swoosh, inspired by Devin Booker’s deep love for vintage cars.
Booker’s personal storytelling continues with “Chapter One” text embroidered on the heel tab. Meanwhile, the tongues showcase EYBL and Booker logos, cementing this pair as both a tribute and a collector’s dream. Performance-wise, the sneaker includes the same court-ready specs as the retail version.
This edition stands apart from Kevin Durant’s KD 18 “EYBL”, which is scheduled for a general release on April 25th. Unlike Durant’s version, the Nike Book 1 EYBL will remain an exclusive PE for EYBL players only.
The pairing of luxury design with basketball performance speaks directly to Booker’s identity—stylish, composed, and always game-ready. The design theme cleverly ties in his off-court passion for classic automobiles.
