The sneaker world is buzzing with the latest star-studded Air Force 1 release that pays homage to one of the most coveted basketball shoes of the mid-2000s. This fresh take on the classic silhouette draws direct inspiration from the unforgettable 2006 NBA All-Star editions that had sneakerheads camping out for days.

- The special All-Star branded insoles
- The constellation mapping on the heel tabs
