The Expert's Opinion

Gaylor Curier, former professional player in the Betclic Elite

The Verdict

"The Book 2 revolutionize the Book 1 formula; it evolves it toward a more solid and structured approach. It retains the qualities that made the first generation a success—a short feel, a snug fit, and stability—but the inconsistency of the experience, such as comfort depending on the colorway and materials, is its biggest challenge…"

⚡ My Key Points

✓ A board that captures the essence of the Book 1 excellent shortboard feel and great stability enhanced by a side fin.
✓ Exposed midsole that allows the Cushlon 3.0 to function more effectively while controlling its compression via a thin lateral TPU strip.
✓ The flatter, more angular sole design makes the heel-to-toe transition less natural, which can cause some slipping during runs on sol steep sol . Dust off frequently.
✓ Generally stiffer sole construction.
✓ Always has a very snug fit with a tapered shape at the forefoot. Fits true to size but takes some getting used to.
✓ If you have wide feet, opt for mesh or even leather styles.

Who is this pair intended for?

Recommendations for players:

• Shifty
• Often on the move
• Prioritizing stability and a short feel

More info

Book's quiet confidence comes from both within and the work he puts in. He'd rather let his game and the Book 2 do the talking. Equipped with game-ready technology, it's lighter and more responsive than Book's original masterpiece. Air Zoom in the forefoot gives his first step a turbo boost. Player-approved Cushlon provides full-length cushioning. And an overlayed insole gives Book a soft, responsive bounce. Now it's your turn.

Inspired by the archives

Book continues to work, chopping wood to feed his fire. Every summer, he adds embers to the fire, feeding the flames in the darkness so he's ready to play when the lights come on. This special Book 2 is about the hell that's brewing, both with his game and his next classic.

Zoom, Zoom!

We moved the Air Zoom unit from the heel to the forefoot for responsiveness closer to sol.

Fitted outfit

A strap system in the middle of the foot provides comfortable, secure support for quick changes of direction and sudden pivots, which Book loves to perform.

Soft mousse

The midsole is made with our new CushIon foam, which improves the feel underfoot for greater comfort throughout the game.

Grip inspired by the AF1

The updated chevron grip pattern was inspired by Book's love for the Air Force 1, drawing inspiration from the pivot circles of traditional rings that provide grip and durability.
