Rarely do signature shoe lines transition so smoothly from one model to the next. For Devin Booker, 2026 marks the official transition from the Nike Book 1 to the Book 2, and Nike has the perfect rollout to symbolize that passing of the torch. Following ‘Torched’ Book 1 on December 30 comes a duo of Book 2 colorways arriving in January 2026: a black ‘Rising’ and an orange ‘Phoenix’, both nodding to themes of rebirth and renewal while paying tribute to the city Booker calls home.
The “Phoenix” colorway is undoubtedly the more intriguing of the two, with a fully molded, almost Foamposite-like upper rendered in varying shades of orange. Attention immediately turns to the Swoosh, which utilizes lenticular branding with shifting flame graphics. The sun-inspired radial traction on the outsole reinforces the mythology-driven theme, even if that detail isn’t exclusive to this pair.
The Nike Book 2 “Phoenix” will release on January 16, 2026 for $145 USD through Nike and select retailers. Check out detailed images below and visit our Sneaker Release Dates page to browse more upcoming basketball releases.
