However, it seems Booker’s fashion could not impress a basketball legend’s son. In a recent episode of his podcast, the 15-year-old publicly shared his opinion on the Phoenix Suns star’s fashion sense.
Despite throwing shade at Booker’s style, Matt Barnes’ son turned back on his claims as he requested a special favor from him.

Devin Booker’s shoes were inspired by Kobe Bryant
Earlier this September, Booker launched his signature shoes, the Nike Book 1. Nike design teams stacked a Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole with a rigid TPU sidewall for added support, with a top-loaded Nike Zoom airbag in the heel.
When asked about his inspiration, the player mentioned his idol, Bryant. He said, “I drew inspiration from all Kobe models, but especially the ones I’ve been playing in the past few years—Kobe 4, 5, and 6.”
