Nike has once again tapped into its rich basketball heritage with a new Air Force 1 design that pays homage to one of its most memorable All-Star collaborations from 2006. The upcoming release features the same star-studded aesthetic that made the original pair so coveted among sneaker enthusiasts.
The original 2006 All-Star Air Force 1, released exclusively in Las Vegas during the NBA All-Star weekend, featured metallic silver leather with embossed star patterns across the upper. This new iteration maintains that cosmic inspiration while updating the colorway with a summer-ready white and light blue scheme.
