A tag on the tongue of the shoe reads, “Made in Moss Point,” Arizona Sports reports.

Booker set a career scoring record at Moss Point High with 2,518 points.

The Air Force 1 by Devin Booker will be released on June 6 at House of Hoops by Foot Locker and June 8 at all Foot Locker stores, Nike.com reports.

The shoes will be sold for $100.
