Devin Booker, the NBA star known for his love of fine wine, vintage cars, and retro cameras, is also a fan of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. This appreciation is clear in the new Nike Book 1 “Nightmare Before Christmas” release, which reflects his fondness for the iconic 1993 animated film.
A Nod to Jack Skellington
The shoe’s design features a smirking image of Jack Skellington, the protagonist of the movie, whose stitched smile appears prominently on the Swoosh. This detail pays tribute to one of Booker’s tattoos, showing his genuine connection to the beloved holiday classic.
Design Details
The Book 1 “Nightmare Before Christmas” boasts a cracked leather foundation, which cleverly captures both the eerie atmosphere of the movie and the peaceful imagery of freshly fallen snow. The overall theme reflects Halloween’s haunting vibe while transitioning seamlessly into the Christmas season. The glow-in-the-dark outsole also adds a fun, seasonal twist, similar to the Book 1 “Halloween” design.
While some may have wished for pinstripe patterning to complete the look, this edition still captures the essence of The Nightmare Before Christmas beautifully, making it a perfect blend of both holidays.
Release and Price
The Nike Book 1 “Nightmare Before Christmas” will be available on December 13th, priced at $140. Whether you’re a fan of the film or just love a unique holiday sneaker, this pair is a must-have for the festive season.
