Fans lined up around Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix on Sunday to buy Devin Booker’s new Book 2s.

Fans had access to an entirely orange “Phoenix” colorway at the pop-up shop. A black and orange combo, known as “Rising,” was released on Jan. 2 online.

The pop-up event also featured a basketball court where fans played pickup basketball games.

Nike has promoted Booker as “The Professional” for much of the Book 2 rollout, including after his recent game-winning shot to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in the final seconds.

Fans can find the Phoenix colorway in person at Foot Locker (on the SNKRS app on Friday at 8 a.m.) or the Rising version online for $145.
