The Nike Book 1 is set to release this holiday season, the first of many signature sneakers for former Kentucky star Devin Booker. Averaging a career-high 27.8 points this past season — 33.7 in 11 playoff games — the Grand Rapids native has become the face of the Phoenix Suns. And that’s with the franchise adding fellow superstars Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.

And with that level of stardom as a three-time NBA All-Star and All-NBA member comes celebrity status and branding opportunities. He’s already been sponsored by the likes of Nike, Foot Locker, Finish Line, Corona, 2K Sports, Chevrolet and Call of Duty. Now he’s got his first official shoe, with the rollout about as star-studded as imaginable.

Booker released a sneak-peak of Book: Chapter One, a trailer featuring the likes of Durant, Beal, Drake, J. Cole, Kyler Murray, Phil Knight and Tyler Ulis.

The camcorder footage opens with Booker receiving the sneakers and wearing them on the basketball floor before showing them off to some of his other high-profile friends.

“Oh hell yeah, congrats bro. These are sick,” rapper J. Cole says in the clip.

Booker then drives to the Phoenix stop of Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour where the world-famous artist — and dear friend of the Kentucky basketball program — brings the former Wildcat out and wears the orange sneakers on stage during the performance. That leads to Drake’s famous ‘See the shots that I took, wet like I’m Book’ line in front of the home crowd featuring the Suns’ biggest standouts, along with current UK student assistant Tyler Ulis.
