In collaboration with Nike, Missouri basketball and one of the team’s all-time greats, Melvin Booker, unleashed a new shoe that the Tigers will have on full display in Sunday’s Braggin’ Rights game.
The “Nike Book 1 ‘Missouri’ PE is a part of Booker’s son, Devin, signature collection with Nike.

Booker played with Missouri from 1990-94, winning three of the four Braggin’ Rights games against Illinois that he played in, including the infamous triple-overtime win in 1993.
Booker currently stands at No. 7 in program history in career points (1,697) and No. 3 in assists (488).
Though Devin played at Kentucky before becoming an NBA superstar, honoring his father’s legacy at Missouri was important to the NBA All-Star when he signed a shoe deal with Nike.
