The Nike Book 1 “Forrest Gump” Pays Homage to a Classic Colourway

Ask any sneakerhead or cinephile to name the greatest trainer in movie history, and we guarantee that the Nike Cortez “Forrest Gump” will get name-dropped a few times. First introduced in the 1994 cult classic starring Tom Hanks, this shoe introduced an entire generation of people to running. And for Devin Booker’s latest release, he’s paying tribute to it with the very appropriately-named Nike Book 1 “Forrest Gump.”

Just like the original “Forrest Gump,” this special edition Book 1 features a crisp white upper that’s crafted from leather. A fiery red Swoosh glides across the lateral and medial sidewalls, while the iconic blue stripe wraps around the midsole, similar to the Cortez colourway that debuted over three decades ago.

However, unlike the classic sneaker, this unit has been engineered for basketball. Designed with Devin Booker’s fast-paced game in mind, it integrates performance-driven features such as responsive cushioning and unrivalled to meet the demands of modern b-ball.

This release seamlessly bridges past and present, offering a sneaker that appeals to fans of both film and footwear. Expected to release on January 24th, let us know if you’ll be going for the Nike Book 1 “Forrest Gump”, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
