Nike is officially releasing the Book 1 “Moss Point” on April 18, a colorway that pays tribute to Devin Booker ’s Mississippi roots and his alma mater, Moss Point High School. First previewed in late 2023, this particular edition of Booker’s signature sneaker has finally received official imagery and a confirmed release date via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. Priced at $140 USD, the “Moss Point” drop arrives as part of an expanding series of colorways that continue to define the look and feel of Booker’s debut silhouette.

This latest edition brings a combination of soft, understated tones to the basketball court. The “Moss Point” colorway features a Barely Grey and Moon Particle upper, highlighted by Metallic Silver and Pale Ivory accents. The construction includes a pearl-finished sole that subtly shifts in the light, while the upper combines smooth leather and suede textures. The design echoes the limited 2019 release of Booker’s Nike Air Force 1 Low “Moss Point,” both visually and conceptually.
The storytelling behind the sneaker is as deliberate as its design. Booker draws on personal memories, specifically the corner store he frequented during his high school days, as a visual influence for the palette. Key details include a metallic heel guard embroidered with “Yes Ma’am” and “No Sir,” a nod to Booker’s Southern upbringing and the manners instilled in him during those formative years. The number “96” stitched onto the heel tag references his birth year, further rooting the pair in personal history.
Since debuting the Book 1 line in December, Nike and Booker have teased a wide variety of colorways, although many have remained exclusive or unreleased. The original vivid orange version launched in a limited 500-pair drop, quickly establishing demand for subsequent iterations. The “Moss Point” arrives as one of the first general releases to follow, offering fans a more widely available design that still carries personal meaning.
The Nike Book 1 continues to evolve as a signature sneaker grounded in performance and narrative. Built for on-court wear but designed with lifestyle aesthetics in mind, the silhouette offers a clean shape, sturdy build, and thoughtful detailing that separates it from other current basketball models. Booker’s influence is evident not just in the branding but in the emotional depth and regional storytelling behind each colorway.
With the release of the “Moss Point” edition, Nike deepens the personal nature of its partnership with Booker, merging his journey with a product that represents both his past and present. The drop is set to land April 18, just as the NBA season intensifies, a fitting moment for a shoe that reminds fans where Booker started and how far he’s come.
