- Vintage Garage Inspiration: Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has re-teamed with Nike and Chevrolet to release a four-part Nike Book 2 collection inspired by his personal garage of restored vintage Impalas.
- The “Pretty Penny” Debut: The lead colorway replicates the exact metallic paint finish of Booker’s prized 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible.
- Custom Classic Car Details: Every pair features model year stamps (’58, ’59, ’62, ’63), custom tongue tops shaped like Chevy hood ornaments, and mid-century accessory-style packaging.
- Detroit Early Drop & Global Launch: The “Pretty Penny” drops early in Detroit on August 15, 2026 during the Woodward Dream Cruise, followed by a global SNKRS release on August 26, 2026, with the remaining three colorways arriving in December.
You can call it a pretty penny. Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker is continuing to bridge performance basketball with his deep passion for classic American automotive design with a new collection. Building on the sold-out Chevy Blazer project from his debut signature line, Nike and Chevrolet have officially revealed a four-sneaker collection centered around the Nike Book 2.
Drawing the inspiration directly from Booker’s personal garage—affectionately dubbed “The Library”—each colorway in the pack pays homage to a specific vintage Chevrolet Impala model in his collection: 1958, 1959, 1962 and 1963.

Inside the “Pretty Penny” Design Specs
The flagship drop of the capsule, titled the Nike Book 2 “Pretty Penny,” serves as a direct visual tribute to Booker’s 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible, the car that originally sparked his classic automobile obsession.
The low-top performance silhouette incorporates several bespoke automotive details:
- Paint-Matched Upper: Dressed in a metallic Sanddrift finish replicating the convertible’s original body paint.
- Hood Ornament Tongue Badges: Specialized tongue tags molded to match the chrome hood ornaments of the 1959 Impala.
- Vintage Emblem Branding: Stamped Chevrolet Impala logos on the outer heel counter alongside sleek black Swoosh accents.
- Retro Kraft-Paper Packaging: Shipped in custom boxes styled after mid-century Chevy auto parts packaging, complete with vintage teal-and-orange graphics and bold block typography.
The release is paired with an apparel capsule featuring a “Heartbeat of America” graphic tee referencing iconic 1980s and ’90s Chevrolet marketing campaigns.
