Updated January 21st, 2026: Sneaker News presents a side-by-side comparison of the Nike Book 2 “Spiridon” and the sneaker it was inspired by. They got the details and materials right!







Devin Booker has maintained that he wants his signature shoes to be wearable on and off the court. A lot of brands and signature athletes say that, but few have followed through to the extent Nike and Book have. The Nike Book 1 featured a low-top style akin to Beaverton classics like the Air Force 1 and Blazer Low, the latter being one of Book’s personal favorites, and was repeatedly used to pay homage to other Nike icons. The Nike Book 2, meanwhile, features clear shades of Christian Tresser’s Nike Zoom Spiridon, here given a new style to match that shoe’s most widely known original colorway.
Book first laced up his “Spiridon” shoes in December 2025 and has since trotted out multiple PE styles featuring the same design cues, including a “Black Tie” edition as well as a “Phoenix Suns” colorway. A mesh upper pairs with a synthetic mudguard, while five lace loops/ribbons peek through the mesh on each side.
The public version takes after the Spiridon’s original “Metallic Silver/Sport Red/Black/White” colorway from 1997, which most recently returned in late 2024 to a surprisingly quiet reception. We won’t say that the Spiridon is the basis for all Nike Book 2 styles, but even different compositions have maintained the Spiridon’s ribboning in some way shape or form.
The Nike Book 2 “Spiridon” releases February 6th via Nike and Nike Basketball retailers, priced at $145. See official retailer images below and hit our Sneaker Release Dates page to browse more upcoming basketball shoes.
