This Star-Studded Air Force 1 Is Reminiscent Of The 2006 All-Star Gem
Nike's latest celestial-inspired Air Force 1 has sneakerheads doing a double take, as its galactic aesthetic bears uncanny similarities to the beloved 2006 NBA All-Star edition that achieved legendary status among collectors.
A Galaxy Revisited
The new iteration features the same constellation-inspired perforations across the toe box and quarter panel that made the 2006 design iconic. The shimmering silver leather base perfectly mimics the original's interstellar theme, while the updated curved Swoosh (introduced in recent AF1 models) adds a contemporary twist.

Collector Reactions
"This is exactly the flashback we needed! The 2006 All-Stars were impossible to get then, and impossible to afford now on resale. This gives everyone a fresh chance to own that stellar look." - Marcus "RareAir" Jefferson, VintageKicks Magazine
Available September 1st through Nike SNKRS and select retailers, the new Star AF1 (Product code: DH3448-100) comes at $160 - a stark contrast to the $8,000+ asking prices for deadstock pairs of the 2006 All-Star edition currently circulating in the resale market.
