A Nod to Basketball History
The gold-star treatment across the ankle collar and midsole perfectly mirrors the design language of the Air Force 1 Stat Liverpool from 2006. Considered one of the rarest AF1 collaborations ever, the original brought together cosmetic details inspired by international counterparts of that year's NBA All-Star weekend in Houston.
