The Nike Book 2 “Iron Fist” Celebrates Detroit’s Own Joe Louis

Basketball shoe, boxing story.

The Nike Book 2 “Iron Fist” Celebrates Detroit’s Own Joe Louis

You can take Devin Booker out of Michigan, but you can’t take the Michigan out of Devin Booker. Trust that we’ve seen plenty of nods to his newfound Arizona digs across his signature line, yet the homages to home keep rolling in for the Suns’ franchise player. Next up is a more creative spin on the state’s biggest city, as official images of the Nike Book 2 “Iron Fist” load in.

To briefly recap, this shoe immediately adds to a string of D-town classics like the Tigers’ navy and a zoologically accurate striped version, further stretching back to his debut shoe with PEs like the Detroit Stompers. For the Nike Book 2 “Iron Fist,” we look to another sports icon in Joe Louis. Though born in the Deep South, his legendary fighting acumen was harnessed and honed in the Motor City, leading to the construction of three monuments sprinkled throughout the city.

“The Fist,” or the “Monument to Joe Louis,” is where this shoe finds its central inspiration. Shimmering silvers are plastered throughout the upper, utilizing the hardened Foamposite-like shell that’s paced pairs like the “Phoenix” or “Eggplant.” There aren’t many special-edition touches outside, but flip to the interior for all-over print insoles where a full map of Detroit is displayed.

The Nike Book 2 “Iron Fist” is expected out on September 2nd, retailing for $145. Catch official images below and watch our Sneaker Release Dates page for more info as it comes.
