After Wowing LeBron & Bronny James, Devin Booker Stuns ‘NYC Jesus’ & Pedestrians With Heartfelt Gesture

Apart from the Paris Olympics, Devin Booker is synonymous with something else in this off-season. It’s the all-new Nike Book 1. It’s undoubtedly the most-awaited signature shoe line in recent times. And, the Phoenix Suns superstar has cashed in on the public’s sentiment and went on showering an abundance of love. Notably, DBook started with LeBron James‘ household and has now hit the street. Importantly, he even bumped into a famous New York street celebrity.

By the abundance of love, we meant the star baller’s kind gesture to give away sneakers to the fans on the street. To be honest, the sneaker in itself is a labor of love. Book 1 is undoubtedly a perfect union of crisp streetwear and high-performance balling shoes. Booker teased the NBA world, donning the sneaker throughout the last season and kicking in some power-packed performances. Above all, the kick also has a sense of DBook’s personality to it, a 90s connoisseur.

After a long wait, they were an instant hit when the sneakers hit the store in spring. At the same time, Devin Booker also took the job upon himself to maximize the shoe’s reach. Firstly, he surprised the fans in Paris by taking to the streets and giving away shoes during the Paris Olympics. Weeks later, he continued the gesture on American soil as well. This time in New York streets. The star, sporting an old-school black leather jacket and blue denim, reached the local outdoor court and gave away sneakers to the hoopers.

Devin Booker dapped with everyone on his way, but one of them is NYC’s favorite. It’s none other than George Papoutsis A.K.A NYC Jesus. The bearded man has gone viral with his street-hooping videos on Instagram. What are the odds?

D-Book met him on his random visit to the New York Streets! But before Devin Booker gave away the sneakers to NYC fans, he did the honors for ‘the superstar’ of the league.

Devin Booker’s fresh dose of surprise to James’ family amid nostalgia

The Suns star gifted a pair of signature to LeBron James and the superstar generously showcased it on his Instagram stories. On the other hand, the latest member of the Lakers fold, Bronny James also joined the party. The Bleacher Report Kicks, the IG handle of prominent sports news media, dropped a picture of the 19-year-old lacing up the shoes at the practice. It was the all-new ‘EYBL’ Nike Book 1s. The shoe had everything that would represent the shooting guard.

The old-school touch to the design was inspired by Air Force One, Blazer, and Air Jordan 1. Moreover, it also had Haven, Booker’s dog, embossed in the back. In response to the gesture, the star reshared the picture, acknowledging the love. Above all, it wasn’t just King James’ family. Before even the shoes hit the stores, the Suns star received a shout-out from his veteran teammate. Kevin Durant had the honor of donning the kicks once while sitting on the bench last season.

On the other hand, the James family is also on an emotional journey, as Bronny is set to make his pro debut alongside his dad. The sneaker king Nick DePaula amped up an already wholesome moment with an update sharing a picture that had the 19-year-old rocking King James’ first Nike signature shoe.
