Nike Book 1 Kobe 1 Protro PE

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

Drawing inspiration from Booker’s 2018 Nike Kobe 1 Protro PE, this version of the Nike Book 1 features a bold purple patent leather upper accented by a striking orange Swoosh—an homage to the Suns’ signature colors. The design combines performance-driven aesthetics with a color scheme that resonates deeply with fans of both Booker and the Suns.

Notably, Booker joins a small group of players, including DeMar DeRozan and Isaiah Thomas, who have received their own Kobe PEs. However, unlike many high-demand PEs, public availability remains scarce. 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 reverence around his shoe collection.

With limited availability and high desirability, the Nike Book 1 “Kobe 1 Protro” PE has become a rare find. Secondary marketplaces, like StockX, list these exclusive kicks at steep prices, sometimes as high as $14,000. While fans may dream of seeing this version of the Book 1 in stores, it’s unlikely this PE will ever see a wide release.

Take a closer look at this stunning sneaker, a blend of Kobe legacy and Suns pride—perfectly tailored for one of today’s brightest stars, Devin Booker.
