Sneaker News Devin Booker’s appreciation for Nike’s extensive footwear archives continues to shape his signature line, and his latest Nike Book 2 takes inspiration from perhaps the most legendary sneaker ever created.
Booker has revealed a first look at a special Nike Book 2 inspired by the Nike Mag, the futuristic self-lacing sneaker famously worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II. Originally imagined for the 1989 film, the fictional footwear eventually became reality when Nike released the MAG in 2011, followed by a functioning power-lacing version in 2016.
While Booker’s latest creation doesn’t appear to feature any power-lacing technology, it faithfully translates the Mag’s unmistakable aesthetic onto his second signature model. The shoe features a light grey upper with aqua blue accents and the distinctive speckled midsole pattern associated with the original design.
Perhaps the most interesting detail appears at the heel, where three miniature Swooshes in green, yellow, and red sit beneath the larger Nike logo. The colorful arrangement mimics the illuminated indicator lights found on the Nike MAG, providing a subtle but unmistakable reference to the iconic movie prop.
The Nike Book 2 “Mag” continues Booker’s growing tradition of incorporating sneaker history into his signature footwear, connecting his modern basketball line with some of Nike’s most celebrated designs. For now, it’s unclear whether this special Book 2 will receive a public release or remain an exclusive pair for Booker himself.
