Devin Booker is bringing another piece of home into his signature series with the Nike Book 2 “Detroit Tigers”. Built around a nearly all-navy color scheme, the pair connects Booker’s Michigan roots to one of Detroit’s most recognizable sports identities.

Midnight Navy covers nearly every part of the shoe, including the molded upper, midsole, laces, and translucent rubber outsole. The restrained palette puts more attention on the smaller details, especially the oversized patent Swoosh running along each side. White striping appears through the lace loops, tongue, and heel pull tabs to break up the darker finish.

Detroit’s Old English “D” gives the colorway its defining touch. The Tigers logo is embroidered near the lateral heel in white, while “Chapter Two” lettering runs vertically down the back. Booker branding also appears along the tongue, keeping the baseball reference tied closely to the Book 2 rather than turning the shoe into a full uniform-inspired design.

The connection goes beyond Booker simply being born in Michigan. He has continued to support Detroit sports throughout his NBA career, even after becoming closely linked with Phoenix. Earlier in 2026, Booker released his latest “Detroit Tigers” Blazer Lows, making this release feel like a continuation of that relationship.

Personal storytelling has shaped the Nike Book line from the beginning. Booker and Nike have used previous colorways to reference his dogs, Arizona, vintage footwear, and pieces of his off-court life. The “Detroit Tigers” edition takes a quieter approach. There are no oversized graphics or heavy baseball details, just a familiar team color and a logo that carries the story.

The Nike Book 2 “Detroit Tigers” releases July 8, 2026, in men’s sizing for $155. Look for the pair at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com.
