While it remains to be seen if he has the national influence to make his shoes a best-seller for Nike, his popularity among players could make his shoes a hit if they have a design similar to the beloved Kobe line.
Devin Booker association with Nike
Booker has been a Nike athlete since his rookie year in 2015. As a three-time All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, Booker’s star has consistently risen over the course of his career. And at just 26 years old, he is entering his prime.
The 26-years old grew up wearing signature Nike shoes, with the KD4 being a personal favorite. It’s pretty cool that he now gets to play alongside Kevin Durant, whom he idolized as a kid.
On game day, each pair of shoes Booker wears bears his personal inscription of “Be Legendary,” a message he received from Kobe Bryant on a signed pair of Nike Kobes in 2016. Booker holds this advice so close to his heart that he even got it tattooed on his arm.
As Phoenix player continues to cement his place in the NBA as one of the league’s rising stars, his partnership with Nike is only going to get stronger. With the possibility of his own signature shoe release on the horizon, the future looks bright for this talented player. As fans eagerly wait for the big reveal, it’s clear that Devin Booker’s impact on and off the court is undeniable. And his possible partnership with Nike is just one aspect of his journey to greatness.
