Book's Son

This special edition pays homage to Book’s son—his beloved Cane Corso named Haven. The marbled Swoosh logo nods to Haven’s dynamic dark brown eyes while the black base resembles his rich, supple coat. The colors are all Haven, and he inspired the materials and other details curated by Book. Made with workwear-inspired materials like canvas and durable twill, it pairs suede and leather accents for more reinforcement and a familiar, broken-in feel. For a little something extra, check out the Old English "H" on the inner tongue label (a nod to Haven) and the numbered pull tabs, which stay consistent with the line. Taking inspiration from a book spine, the numbers reference the chapters in an ongoing story—Book's story.

Book Smooth

The outside is pure Book with a workwear-inspired canvas and twill upper adds durability, while a suede collar and genuine leather across the forefoot provide more reinforcement and a familiar, plush, broken-in feel out of the box. The pull tab at the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story.

Plant and Pivot

A longer plastic plate on the pinky toe side of the forefoot keeps your foot stable when making sudden movements such as sharp plants, Book-like pivots and jabs in the post and opportunistic cuts.

Stop and Go

A top-loaded Zoom Air unit in the heel provides a measure of responsive speed when taking off in the open floor and coming to sudden halts, like a 2-footed Book jump stop and pump fake around the rim.

Cut Hard

The multidirectional, Herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that’s ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement. This version is made for outdoor court use with its extra-durable rubber outsole.

Full-Go Foam

Soft, full-length foam can help you keep running and cutting in comfort.
