Devin Booker had already made some noise during his fifth NBA All-Star weekend with a second-place finish in Saturday’s 3-point contest, so Sunday called for a fashion statement in Los Angeles.

The Phoenix Suns guard debuted the Book 2 “All-Star Warning Label” shoes for the new All-Star Game round-robin format that featured his Team USA Stars, Team USA Stripes and Team World.

The kicks feature a glimmering orange and red top, all-orange outsoles, with an all-black scorpion shoelace accessory. Booker didn’t show off the scorpion while playing in front of numerous celebrities at Intuit Dome — including President Barack Obama — but it is a uniquely-desert element that comes with the $175 purchase.

The shoes were released to the public Friday.

The 29-year-old came out strong in the first of his three games for Team Stars, as his squad made and won the championship 47-21 against Team Stripes, with five points on 2-of-5 shooting and four assists in 10 minutes. Each exhibition game was 12 minutes.

Booker and Team Stars needed overtime to defeat Team World 37-35 in the first game on Sunday. The first team to score five points won in OT, and Scottie Barnes hit a 26-foot 3 to seal the victory after Anthony Edwards knocked down a midrange jumper.

After falling in their second game 42-40 against Team Stripes, where Booker was held to two points (1 for 3 shooting) and two assists, Booker and Co. got into the championship via Team World losing a tight one 48-45 to fall to 0-2.

Booker scored five points with one made 3 and added three rebounds and two assists in the lopsided win.

Edwards was named the 2026 NBA All-Star Game MVP for his overall performance. He totaled 32 points on 13-of-22 shooting, nine rebounds, three assists and a steal over the three minigames.
