Nike Book 1 Blue Blood

The Nike Book 1 Blue Blood introduces a blue denim vintage-inspired design that nods to Devin Booker’s collegiate team, the Kentucky Wildcats. The Blue Blood Nike Book 1 boasts a blue denim upper with frayed edges, giving it a raw, deconstructed aesthetic. A tonal Swoosh graces both the lateral and medial sidewalls, with an embroidered white outline highlighting it and more embroidered details, including the number "1" stitched on the lateral rear and a blue mini Swoosh on the vamp. The laces and inner lining are dressed in royal blue accents to match the University of Kentucky uniforms, with the Wildcats logo on the tongue nodding to the "Be True To Your School" Dunks from 1985. Exposed foam padding and the off-white midsole round off the pre-aged aesthetic, and the sneaker rides on a Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole housing an Air Zoom unit. What our experts love about the Nike Book 1 Blue Blood is its deconstructed aesthetic, which gives the sneaker a raw, vintage-inspired look that makes it stand out. The sneaker released for $140 on April 10, 2025.
