Both designs feature constellations of complementary design elements:
- Foamposite-like iridescent overlays
- Constellation patterns embedded in translucent midsoles

The 2006 All-Star AF1
A New Generation Of Stardust Magic?
Collector Danielle Wong (@DSoles) tweeted: "They knew exactly what they were doing with this 2024 design wave - it's got just enough X-factor to make people drop $$$ but without the All-Star holograms, we're not quite in Carter-centering-a-backboard territory"
Significant differences:
2006 All-Star | 2024 Galaxy | |
---|---|---|
Limited Run | ✓ Hyper-limited | ✓ GR release |
Removable Credentials | ✓ Authenticity card | ✖ None |
Basketball Roots | ✓ Official All-Star shoe | ✖ Cosmic/lifestyle |
Whether this 2024 release will achieve comparable prestige remains to be seen, but one thing's certain: When Nike throws stars at classic silhouettes, sneaker culture always remembers.
