Nike Book 1 'Scorpion' Basketball Shoes

About This Item

It's slim pickings trying to locate a Arizona Bark Scorpion during the day. But shine a UV light along the desert floor at night and these creepy critters actually glow—just like Book when he’s lighting up a defense with a 30-piece. This special Book 1 takes on the arachnid’s attributes and then some. The black-rainbow leather upper comes with a printed scorpion pattern that’s visible under UV lighting. And, a glow-in-the-dark outsole completes a look ready for slithers to the rim and scurries around the floor.


Athlete-Inspired Details:

  • The outside is pure Book, with a workwear-inspired upper adds durability
  • The pull tab at the heel is inspired by a book spine, with numbers referencing chapters in an ongoing story

Design:

  • Suede collar and genuine leather across the forefoot provides more reinforcement and a familiar, plush, broken-in feel out of the box

In-Shoe Comfort:

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

Durability & Traction:

  • Multidirectional, Herringbone-like pattern gives you sticky traction that’s ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement

Additional Details:

  • Product shown in Men's and Women's sizes
  • Example: M7.5/W9.0 = Men's size 7.5, Women's size 9.0
  • Brand : Nike
  • Country of Origin : Imported
  • Web ID: 25NIKABASKBK1HLLWNACB

Short Changed

Shoes look good but they did not send me the box that the shoes come in. Just in a plastic bag. I paid thinking I was gonna get the shoes and the Shoe Box it comes with.

Great Shoe

Extremely good traction!! Son is 12 yrs old and loves them for basketball. He is on the travel team.

Amazing Design

The design is amazing. Not the most comfortable Nike trainers I have had. Size is small. Had to go up ONE and a HALF size to get a perfect fit.

Not The Best

Got these as a gift to be part of my Book shoe collection. Chapter One are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. Unfortunately the Scorpions do not fit into this category. Fits nothing like my others. These shoes will not be worn as much as my others so the slight discomfort will be something I can live with. Looks like shoes you should be having taps placed on them. Keep in mind I’m 78 and far from being in shape to play basketball.

Quality Could Be Better

I ordered the Blue Blood version and, upon receiving them, noticed the exposed foam on the shoe tongue. Unfortunately, it gives the shoes a cheap, unfinished look. I feel this could have been addressed with better design or finishing, but they were released as is. Overall, I’m pretty disappointed with the quality.

Nice Shoe

Pretty comfortable, like the style, get a half size larger (11) than a 10.5, more room for toes if they don’t offer wide sizes
