I finally found it! It's only a few short clips I had recorded but it's Al McCoy calling a Dbacks game on June 3, 1998--the game ended with a walk-off home run by Vinny Castilla for a Rockies win over the Diamondbacks. I just uploaded it to YouTube now:

I wish Nike put Zoom Air in the forefoot as well, but I didn't really expect it since they've only done that in signature lines of players a tier above Booker. I think breathability will also be a performance issue, so it's pretty likely I won't be getting these to wear on the court. But the design does have appeal for casual wear so hopefully the less flashy colorways are widely available.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 8:02 pmNike releases details, images of Devin Booker’s signature shoe, Nike Book 1

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Heh. That double team quote isn't going away, is it. I mean, I can see both sides of it. I see Book's side if everybody is just working on their game with no cares about winning or losing. But basketball-wise, of course your doubling the leading scorer. No doubt. But please, can we move on?

They look a lot like Air Force 1s in the back. I will get a pair in black.
Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread
They will probably release on the “Sneakers” app or the Nike app. Sneakers is the Nike special release app.Superbone wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 8:17 amBTW, who here can tell me how one goes about procuring a pair?

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread
I took that Noah comment as a compliment. The way I read it, he’s basically saying Book is right, they shouldn’t be doubling in this sorta run, but the guy was so hot they had to do something. In a way he’s justifying Book’s frustration and telling the world how good Book was.Superbone wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 6:43 amHeh. That double team quote isn't going away, is it.

Awesome. Note to Suns fans: End of August through September is a great time to take vacation.
