It combined the three-dimensional scorer Devin Booker, who has become a star in the league, with the Slim Reaper. They've had success thus far, sharing victories and extending the Suns' postseason run. Not only that, but only a few weeks ago, Devin Booker followed in the footsteps of his teammate as he allegedly nears an agreement to design Nike's trademark trainers.
