Devin Booker Debuts Exclusive Nike Book 1 ‘Michigan State’ PE Shoes Ahead of Suns vs. Pistons Game at MSU

Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker unveiled a special edition of his Nike Book 1 shoe ahead of their preseason game against the Detroit Pistons at the Breslin Center on Tuesday.

The Breslin Center is home to Michigan State University and Booker gifted each player on the Spartans’ roster a pair of the special edition Michigan State Spartans Nike Book 1 PE shoes. The four-time All-Star didn’t forget the coaching staff, who were also gifted a pair. The Suns star spent time with their head coach, Tom Izzo, before the preseason game.

The Spartans’ X (formerly Twitter) account posted a video of the gift from the Suns star.

 

Booker shared photos of the special pair on his Instagram stories.

Booker enjoyed his time back in his home state of Michigan. However, he isn’t the only one from the Suns who hails from the state. Owner Mat Ishbia is from the same state and attended Michigan State University from 1999 to 2002.

The Suns have one of the best offensive trios in Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. However, Booker wants to focus on the team’s defensive identity.

“High. I think that’s our main focus. We know how talented we are offensively, but the quicker we can jell. The quicker the communication is open between everybody and holding each other accountable, we’ll be in a pretty good place,” Booker said.

Coach Mike Budenholzer wants the Suns to improve their defense following their first preseason game against the LA Lakers.

“I think defensively we can be better,” coach Bud said. “Just executing, offensively. Just all the normal progression from game one to game two of the preseason. I’m sure everybody’s just trying to do the same thing, just get better day-to-day.”

Over the summer, Booker has shown how well he’s improved on the defensive end. His time with Team USA has helped him become a reliable defender and drew praise from Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.
