Devin Booker is always one to pay homage to legends, and his newest colorway of his signature shoe sure does it again.
Booker rocked a Penny Hardaway inspired edition of his Nike Book 1s against the Dallas Mavericks Sunday in Dallas. The new edition, the Nike Book 1 “Penny V”, features the same logo that Hardaway used on his signature shoes on the tongue, and has the classic Suns colors that adorned the Air Penny V model across the midsole and outsole.

This new colorway in particular feels like a longtime coming, too.
When Booker’s signature shoe first dropped last year, featured the iconic Lil’ Penny. Booker called the former Suns’ signature shoe campaign one of his favorites growing up in the early 2000s.
“It writes itself, no pun intended,” Booker said to Arizona Sports in Feb. 2024. “I think right when they told me that I’d be a signature athlete, I started thinking of all the guys’s names that have been one. And the one that sticks with me most is Penny (Hardaway). I always thought that the name Penny was the craziest as a signature athlete.”
