Devin Booker's signature sneaker line has officially become a showcase for his personal car collection. Last year's Book 1 drew inspiration from his Chevy Blazer, and this time the Book 2 reaches even further back — pulling from four Chevrolet Impalas in his collection, spanning 1958, 1959, 1962, and 1963. Each colorway corresponds to one specific car, with the matching year printed directly on the shoe, essentially turning his garage inventory into something you can wear on your feet.

The lead colorway, "Pretty Penny," traces back to Booker's 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible — the car he says kicked off his classic car collecting habit in the first place. The colorway pulls directly from the car's paint job, while the tongue design echoes the hood ornament details found on the Impala's front end. Even the packaging got the deep-dive treatment, referencing the design language of Chevrolet's early accessory packaging. A bundled "Heartbeat of America" T-shirt pays tribute to Chevrolet's iconic ad slogan from the 1980s and '90s.

The release rollout shows some real thought behind it too. The launch kicks off in Booker's home state of Michigan, timed to coincide with the Woodward Dream Cruise — one of America's biggest classic car culture events — tying the sneaker drop directly to the vintage car scene he loves. Local heads can reserve a pair via SNKRS Pass on August 14, 2026, with pickup at Burn Rubber on August 15. The global release follows on August 26. The remaining three Impala-inspired colorways won't drop until December 2026.
