Devin Booker Unveils Spike Lee-Inspired “Urban Jungle Gym” Sequel
Devin Booker continues to make waves in the sneaker world with the unveiling of his “Urban Jungle Gym” sequel for his signature shoe line. This latest release pays homage to the iconic ad campaign initiated by Spike Lee in 1992.
Homage to a Legend
Arriving in the New York City area, Booker showcased his new shoe as the Phoenix Suns prepare to face the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. The design of the Book 2 incorporates a vibrant African-inspired mosaic on the midsole, reminiscent of the classic Air Raid 2.
Key Features of the Urban Jungle Gym Sequel
- Multi-Colored Midsole: A tribute to the original Urban Jungle Gym campaign.
- Peace Sign Emblem: This symbol, featured throughout the original collection, is embroidered on the heel.
- Inspiring Phrase: “Live Together,” a significant phrase from Spike Lee’s series, is also present on the heel.
- Booker’s Logo: The tongue of the shoe displays Devin’s logo in a style inspired by Lee’s campaign.
Booker’s respect for sneaker history is evident. He has owned an original Nike Urban Jungle Gym varsity jacket, which he found in a vintage store prior to his rookie season. This profound appreciation for Nike’s legacy informs his design choices and reinforces his status in the sneaker culture.
A Strong Standard for the Future
The success of Booker’s first signature shoe, Nike Book 1, and now the Book 2, sets a high bar in the industry. As Devin Booker continues to honor and innovate within sneaker culture, fans eagerly anticipate the future of his signature line.
