Nike's latest Air Force 1 collaboration has sneakerheads buzzing with nostalgia, as its celestial design takes direct inspiration from one of the rarest Dunks ever made - the 2006 NBA All-Star "Starbury" Dunk.
A Constellation of Similarities
The new Air Force 1 features the same premium dark navy leather upper that made the 2006 original legendary. The defining star patterns adorning both shoes create an unmistakable visual connection, though the AF1 implements them in perforations rather than embroidery.
Touches That Take You Back
- Metallic silver Swoosh identical to the 2006 Starbury
- Same dark navy/gunmetal color blocking
- Similar tonal stitching pattern on midsole
- Royal blue rubber outsoles with silver speckles
While the Starbury Dunk remains locked in the vault, this $160 Air Force 1 gives collectors an accessible alternative with the same cosmic energy. Sizes are selling fast since they released last Tuesday through the SNKRS app.
