Chevy Give the Nike Book 2 a New Paint Job

Whether he’s dizzying a defender on the hardwood, or cruising in one of his American classic cars, Devin Booker is known to take things for a spin. Following his first Chevrolet collaboration last year, and a 1996 Impala-inspired PE edition of the Book 1, Chevy and Booker are hitting the open road once again on the Nike Book 2 ‘Pretty Penny’.

Having been born and raised in Michigan for the majority of his life, Booker’s connection to the Detroit-based car company runs deep, and the crown jewel in his collection is his 1959 Chevrolet Impala Convertible – which he nicknamed ‘Pretty Penny’. The title is fitting given his Impala’s metallic copper finish, and that same shade is used across the majority of the Book 2 silhouette for this latest Chevy colab. A Black Swoosh breaks up the monotony of the upper, while Chevrolet branding is seen in the form of the brand’s crossed flags logo stitched near the heel and stamped on the insole, along with a chrome emblem on the tongue serving as the sneaker’s hood ornament.

The same emblem is also included as a metal hangtag, and the pair is housed in a multicoloured box with Chevy’s bowtie logo on the lid. This version is set to be the first colourway out of a Chevy x Book 2 four-pack, with the other shoes landing in pale pink, silver, and dark brown, as homages to the 1958, 1962, and 1963 Impalas respectively, in his extensive automobile archive.

After an exclusive early release that went down on August 14 via SNKRS Pass in Detroit, the Chevy x Nike Book 2 ‘Pretty Penny’ is scheduled to launch globally on August 26 for a retail price of $155.
