Devin Booker's Signature Shoe Gets a Book — And He's Still a Fantasy Anchor
A 240-page hardcover drops Sept. 8 chronicling Booker's Nike journey. Meanwhile, he's coming off 40 fantasy points per game in 2025-26.
Ranked #31 despite 40 FPTS/G last season — that's a discount.
- 240-page hardcover, preorder $56.98 on Amazon
- Booker averaged 40 fantasy pts/G in 2025-26
- 26.1 pts, 6 ast, 3.9 reb across 64 games
- Only Sun to play his whole career in Arizona
- First signature shoe launched in 2024
Devin Booker is turning his sneaker story into a book. Set for a September 8 release, the 240-page hardcover chronicles how the Phoenix guard went from a kid sketching shoe designs to a Nike signature athlete, sitting alongside names like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. It's up for preorder on Amazon at $56.98, with delivery landing September 11.
The timing matters for fantasy purposes only as a reminder of who we're talking about: Booker put up 26.1 points, 6.0 assists and 3.9 rebounds across 64 games last season (2025-26), good for 40 fantasy points per game. In our rankings he sits at #31 overall and #15 among guards — which, if you ask us, undersells what he actually did.
The book itself is a nice look inside the brand Booker's built. It features his original childhood sketches next to present-day peeks at popular colorways, including the "Chapter One" release and player-exclusive designs like "Desert Camo" and "Moss Point." His first signature shoe launched in 2024, with the Book 2s arriving earlier this year.
There's a fun subplot, too. Plenty of NBA players have laced up Booker's shoe, including Stephen Curry, who wore it when the two matched up in December. Booker was reportedly working to recruit Curry to Nike while Curry was a sneaker free agent this past year. For the record, Curry logged 39.7 fantasy points per game across 43 games last season (2025-26) — and enters the summer trending down, off 7.3 fantasy points versus his season average over his final five games.
Why Booker Still Anchors a Roster
Here's the fantasy read. Booker is the only Sun to spend his entire career in Arizona — his shoes lean purple and orange for a reason — and that stability shows up in the box score. Where Kevin Durant (41.7 FPTS/G in 2025-26, our #21) and even 40-year-old LeBron (41.4 FPTS/G, our #23) rank ahead of him, Booker's floor is remarkably steady, and he closed 2025-26 trending up: plus-2.1 fantasy points over his last five games versus his season average.
Bottom line: a book about your shoe doesn't change your draft stock, but the number attached to Booker does. A guard averaging 40 fantasy points a night who's ranked #31 is a value, not a warning. If a manager in your league is sleeping on him because the flashier names rank higher, buy low now — the production has never been the question.
