Nike Men's Book 1 "Night" EP Basketball Shoes

Nothing beats the beauty of a calm, clear Sonoran Desert late night. The glowing galaxy. The pitch black sky. This special Book 1 pays homage to that stunning scene. The lenticular Swoosh logo and collar color shift with movement like the flickering stars and visible nebulas that frequent the Arizona airspace. A glow-in-the-dark outsole sets the tone for incredible stargazing while Book??s astrological sign is stitched on the backside of the tongue. With its extra-durable rubber outsole, this version gives you traction for outdoor courts.

Book Smooth
The outside is pure Book, with a workwear-inspired upper that adds durability, while genuine leather across the forefoot provides 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.
Stop and Go
A top-loaded Air Zoom unit in the heel provides a measure of responsive speed when taking off in the open floor and coming to sudden halts, like a two-footed Book jump stop and pump fake around the rim.
Plant and Pivot
A top-loaded midfoot strong plastic plate 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.
Cut Hard
The multidirectional, herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that??s ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement.
Full-Go Foam
Soft, responsive full-length foam can help you keep running and cutting in comfort.
