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.
