Behind the design

Even when he comes across a serpent with a bite equally as venomous as his pull-up jumper, Book is cool under fire. This special scaly Swoosh design takes its cues from the rattlesnake that Book encountered while wandering up a hiking trail with his dog. Check out the snakeskin-like prints throughout, an ode to the slithery surprise that he zipped right past en route to the top.

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 on the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story.

Plant and pivot

A top-loaded midfoot strong plastic shank helps keep your foot stable when making sudden movements like sharp plants, Book-like pivots and jabs in the post and opportunistic cuts. A strong plastic sidewall cage adds even more stability.

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 multi-directional, herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that's ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement.

Full-go foam

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