The Nike Book 1 “Lilac Bloom” Is Coming Soon

Looking for a new shoe to hoop in this summer? You’re in luck. Nike is set to release a striking new addition to its signature basketball lineup later this month — the Nike Book 1 "Lilac Bloom." Slated to release in mid-July, this forthcoming colorway is a must-have for collectors and hoopers alike.

The Nike Book 1 "Lilac Bloom" is a masterclass in color coordination and material contrast. The shoe features a “Lilac Bloom” mesh upper complemented by matching suede overlays that cover the toeboxes, eyestays, and heels.

One of the standout features of this sneaker is the shimmering "Barely Grape" satin used for the Swoosh overlays and ankle collar panels. This satin detail not only enhances the luxurious feel of the sneaker but also adds a subtle, eye-catching gleam that expertly contrasts the matte mesh and suede components. To complete the look, the Nike Book 1 "Lilac Bloom" boasts tonal purple rubber outsole units, which house the sneaker’s hidden Nike Air cushioning system.

Need a pair? The Nike Book 1 "Lilac Bloom" will be released both in-store and online at DTLR.com on Thursday, July 18th. The sneaker will be available in men’s sizing for a retail price of $140.
