On the court, Devin Booker has been the alpha leading the Phoenix Suns despite the acquisition of a big fish like Kevin Durant. However, when it comes to shoes, Durant’s the one leading the way still.

Booker’s relationship with Nike dates back to the early stages of his career, including a cartoon-ized Booker appearing in a TV ad where he claims he’ll “take [the Suns] to their first title.” He’s also already released multiple “player edition” shoes, including the recent Zoom GT Cut 2.

Nike was involved early with Durant as well, even predating his time in Oklahoma City going all the way back to 2007 when he started his career in Seattle.
