Phoenix Suns SG Devin Booker is known for many things. 

His play on the court has landed him among some of the NBA's best scorers. This year, he hopes to bring back a championship to the city of Phoenix with teammates such as Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton and others. 

His love for classic cars shines in almost every non-basketball interview completed, but his affinity for shoes and style is where Booker earns most of his brownie points from the fashion industry. 

Booker - signed to Nike - is expected to have his first signature shoe dropping next spring. He typically rocks Kobe's when on the court and has even sported a few player exclusives when playing. 

However, a recent collaboration with Converse will see a pair of shoes release on Wednesday, April 12. The Devin Booker Converse Chuck 70 will retail for $95. 

Sneaker News described the shoes as, "the Devin Booker x Chuck 70 strips away the timeless silhouette to its bare bones, delivering a crisp canvas upper and rubberized sole unit rendered in an undyed, clad 'Egret' color blocking. Ditching both its pinstripe and toe bumper that typically dawns the tape midsole, a tonal embroidered Chuck patch partakes in its typical placement on the medial alongside silver metallic eyelets and a synonymous gum tread that further entrenches the pair’s old-school roots."

They also point out that players such as PJ Tucker and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have recently partnered with Converse. 

Booker and the Suns will begin their postseason journey on Sunday, April 16 when they play host to the Los Angeles Clippers for Game 1 in the first round of the NBA postseason.
