A Cosmic Connection
The newly unveiled Air Force 1 features a constellation-inspired design with silver star detailing across premium white leather, instantly recalling the legendary 2006 All-Star pair
"When I first saw the 2022 version, I immediately thought of my grail 2006 pair," says longtime collector Jason Rivera. "The star patterns create that same celestial vibe, though the execution is slightly more subtle this time around."
Design Comparison
Feature | 2006 All-Star | 2022 Star-Studd |
---|---|---|
Star Pattern | Extensively detailed with point scoring | Smaller scattered starbursts |
Colorway | White/University Red - stronger contrast | Delicate star stitching on all-over white |

While the 2022 iteration modernizes the aesthetic with refined materials and embroidery techniques, its spirit remains firmly rooted in that All-Star legacy many consider among to find the best series
