Kyle Kuzma was merely one of the many people who were left in awe after taking a look at Booker’s Michael Jordan-inspired sneaker.

Devin Booker revealed, what everyone believes to be the best colorway of his 1st signature shoe line, the Michael Jordan-inspired Book 1s.

It didn’t take long before a debate broke out in Kuzma’s comment sections. Fans were shedding light on the shoe lines of different athletes. However, there was one user who did receive a reply from Kuz.

The fan account “@Ant1SZN” claimed that Anthony Edwards’ AE1s signature shoe line was better. Known for being interactive with his fans, the Wizards forward replied to the comment, hyping up Edwards’ sneakers as well.

Since the beginning of the 2023-2024 season, the 6ft 6″ guard has been seen wearing numerous colorways of his first signature shoes. A month into the season, Booker shocked everyone by debuting his Kobe Bryant-inspired shoes.

It is no surprise that Booker has been an admirer of Kobe Bryant. Ever since his college days, and throughout his NBA career, the combo guard has put on different Kobe Bryant sneakers, with the Kobe 4 PE being his favourite.
