Nike's latest star-studded Air Force 12006 All-Star Game edition. Dripping in celestial gold trim and engraved with constellations, the new iteration feels like a cosmic reimagining of basketball’s mid-2000s glory days.
Callbacks to the 2006 All-Star Classic
The original 2006 All-Star AF1, released during NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston, featured a midnight navy upper with laser-etched silver stars—a nod to the game’s host city’s space heritage. While the 2023 update swaps deep blues for crisp white leather, it retains the galactic prestige
- Gilded metal heel plates echoing the 2006’s metallic eyelets
- Subtle astral mapping embossed along the collar
- Glow-in-the-dark outsole constellations (a modern twist)
Why the Hype?
Collectors view both designs as wearable art—the 2006 pair symbolizing a golden era of sneaker culture, while the new release bridges heritage with streetwear trends. It’s like holding a supernova in your hands,
"The 2006 AF1 was gravity. This one? It’s the whole damn universe."
