Nike's latest Air Force 1 release is turning heads with its celestial inspiration—and it’s drawing comparisons to a legendary 2006 All-Star sneaker.
The newest iteration of the Air Force 1
Fans have quickly noticed its resemblance to the iconic 2006 NBA All-Star Air Force 1, a limited-edition release that paid homage to the league’s brightest talents with a similar starry aesthetic.
While the 2006 version was designed to celebrate the NBA All-Star game, its deep blue hues and silver star embellishments made it a cultural symbol beyond basketball. The 2024 release, though not tied to a specific event, channels the same ethereal magic with updated materials and contemporary design sensibilities.
Nike’s decision to revisit this celestial theme underscores the enduring appeal of the Air Force 1
