Devin Booker and Team USA have marched into international basketball in great spirits. While a few nail biters down the stretch threatened to tarnish a perfect record, they’re 5-0 as they begin the true journey to gold. For Booker’s part, he’s looking to do so in style. After the release of his Book 1 “Lilac Bloom”, the Nike Book 1 “Beyond Pink” emerges via an exclusive SneakerNews first look as the potential next step.

The Nike Book 1 “Beyond Pink” is on tap for a Fall/Winter release, retailing for $140. Enjoy detailed images just ahead while we await further release info.
