Update: It’s been quite some time since Devin Booker first teased the “Forrest Gump” colorway of his Nike Book 1. At last, the pair will finally be in the hands of fans as the red and white colorway is set to drop next week. Inspired by the classic Cortez color scheme, which we discussed previously below, the sneaker is now due to drop on January 24 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $140 USD.
Original Story: Earlier this year, Devin Booker took to the courts to show of a pair of Nike Book 1 PEs in the “Forrest Gump” colorway. Blending basketball and nostalgia, the shoe hops on the trend of reviving the classic “Forrest Gump” colorway. At the time of Booker’s on-court reveal, it was uncertain if it would be released to the public. Now, it seems that the pair is receiving a general release. The “Forrest Gump” Book 1s faithfully replicate the iconic and original Cortez, featuring an all-white upper and striking red accents that hit the Swoosh logos, tongue labels and back heel tabs. The shoe sits atop a solid white rubber sole featuring the signature blue stripe on the midsole, reminiscent of the classic Cortez style.
The Nike Book 1 “Forrest Gump” is a PE no more and is expected to release in January 2025. The release is in-line with Nike’s plan to reintroduce the OG “Forrest Gump” Cortez back in May 2024. Take a look at the shoe in-hand above or below.
