Devin Booker has been wearing some pretty interesting Nike Book 2 colorways lately, and his newest pair takes things back to the days of NBA Jam. The Phoenix Suns guard has already shown off several player-exclusive versions of his second signature shoe, including pairs connected to Futura and Just Don. This time, he’s going with a basketball video game that was a big part of the ’90s.
Anyone who played NBA Jam probably remembers what happened after making three shots in a row. The announcer would yell “He’s on fire!” and the ball would literally catch fire, giving players a chance to keep scoring with ridiculous dunks and shots. That part of the game is where the Nike Book 2 “On Fire” gets its name.
Booker’s pair has flames covering most of the upper, with black underneath to make the graphics stand out. The fire pattern runs across the sides, reaching the Swoosh logos and tongues rather than being limited to one part of the shoe. It’s a pretty direct reference to the arcade game, without changing the Book 2’s overall design.
The Nike Book 2 “On Fire” is a player-exclusive made for Devin Booker, with no public release planned.
