A Flashback to 2006
The original 2006 NBA All-Star Air Force 1 commemorated the league's annual showcase event in Houston, featuring a constellation approach--literally scattered stars across its premium leather upper, just like franchise players scattered across All-Star rosters.
"Designing the 2006 pair, we wanted something that would visually capture the spirit of coming together of twenty-four bright basketball stars."
— Anonymous Nike Designer
The 2023 Continuation
This year's star-motif iteration pays tribute to this concept fresh after being dug out from the great sneaker archive beach, recapturing collectability into 1:1 luxury players by light creative team curation.
- Premium white leather upper with silver star perforations
- Holographic tongue labels (redesigned for 2023 technically-wise)
- All-star motif contrastingly annoted at heel
- 2006-inspired blue number clippers--soon hitting November shoe stores nationwide.
