And yes I’m salty about this whole rollout for the Book. Dope shoe on and off court.

Those PES remind me of the Supreme Gatos

Give us a review. I'm interested to hear how they worked out for you. I thought they were very solid after playing in them, but it wasn't until I went back to the Lebron XX for a game that I realized how good the Book's are. So damn comfortable and smooth. I couldn't believe how they made the XX feel clunky to me. I had just declared myself a Lebron sig convert from the Air Jordan line after the XX and that phase only lasted three weeks. I'm team Book unless they mess it up.

Brought them with me yesterday to a hoop session, and then again today as I just got some shots up by myself.

Things I really like about the Book 1:
- Materials: Ready to play out the box, soft and just plain comfortable
- Fit: Went TTS, gave me a great 1:1 fit without feeling overly snug... no dead space, think Kobe-like
- Traction: Played at both LA Fitness and 24 HR Fitness average semi-dusty courts and both times traction held me down with the occasional wipe.
- Cushion: Feels like an upgraded Kobe 4...the cushlon is a little more plush and the heel maybe too.

Nothing that I really dislike about the shoe... don't really like comparing foam based cushioning to Zoom, but obviously if you need a bouncy shoe these aren't necessarily that. They give you a plush ride... maybe even a subtle bounce but nothing crazy. Right now I'd say that I like these over the AE 1, Sabrina 1, Ja 1, GT Cut 3, KB Protro 4 for sure... as far as the Lebron line, man that's a tough one. These probably fit better than the LBJ 20/NXXT/21 but I'll have to think about whether the trade off in cushioning is worth it. The Book's are definitely more of a guard shoe than the 21's and NXXT's...but I'm going to do a side by side of these and the 20's to see which one I like better.

Overall this is a pretty fun shoe, and that I think I'll end up keeping in the rotation.
