- The sneaker features a white base with yellow, maroon, and teal graphics, atom motifs, and “BOOK” handwritten in Futura’s font on the tongue.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker debuted the Futura x Nike Book 2 during the Phoenix Suns 2026 Media Day on September 28. Booker stepped out in the collaborative pair alongside his official team uniform, offering the first public look at the artist-designed edition of his second signature shoe.
The sneaker uses a white base topped with splashes of yellow, maroon, and teal. It showcases legendary graffiti artist Futura’s (Leonard McGurr) iconic atom-style drawings across the upper, while the tongue tag displays “BOOK” in Futura’s recognizable slanted handwriting. The artwork stems from a personal friendship between Booker and Futura, who connected well before starting this project.
Neither Nike nor Booker has announced a retail release date, leaving it open whether the shoe will hit stores or stay an on-court Player Exclusive for the 2026–27 season.
Booker first signed with Nike in 2015 and inked a long-term contract extension in 2022 that runs through 2029. Beyond his basketball footwear, Booker maintains high-profile endorsement partnerships with companies such as Sweetgreen and Corona.
The Futura reveal caps an active year of crossover collaborations for Booker’s signature footwear franchise. Earlier in 2026, the guard paid homage to classic American muscle cars with the Chevrolet x Nike Book 2 collection, arriving shortly after a high-profile rollout with McDonald’s on another themed Book 2 release.
Nike has long paired elite athletes with global creators, previously joining forces with stars like LeBron James and musician Travis Scott. Futura also brings rich history to the Swoosh, having designed coveted Nike SB Dunks as well as official breakdancing gear for the Olympic Games.
Takeaways
Devin Booker continues to treat his signature sneaker line as a canvas for genuine subcultures rather than just standard athletic gear. By teaming up with Futura, Booker skips traditional basketball team colorways in favor of genuine New York graffiti heritage.
Modern performance sneakers often struggle to find relevance on the street, but bridging authentic art history with a low-profile silhouette gives the Nike Book 2 real credibility beyond the basketball court.
Should Nike release the Futura Book 2 to the public, or keep it an exclusive on-court pair for Booker? How does the Futura edition compare to Booker’s car-inspired Chevrolet Book 2? Which contemporary street artist would make the best partner for Booker’s next sneaker release?
