Nike's latest star-themed Air Force 1 collab has sneakerheads flashing back to the iconic 2006 NBA All-Star edition, blending celestial inspiration with basketball heritage in a way that feels both fresh and nostalgic.

The 2023 celestial-themed AF1 features constellations on premium leather
2006 NBA All-Star Air Force 1
2006's All-Star AF1 displayed similar star motifs with red/blue stitching

Cosmic Design Parallels

Both silhouettes employ stellar themes:

  • Embossed Stars
  • Metallic Accents
  • Premium Materials
"Seeing the new constellation AF1 instantly took me back to saving up for the 2006 All-Star joints. That same celestial energy with updated craftsmanship—Nike nailed this callback."
- Marcus J., Sneaker Archive curator

Both pairs demonstrate how Nike's basketball lines continue drawing from sport's relationship with astronomy, from court names ("Lunar" limiteds) to these cosmic colorways.
