Nike's latest celestial-themed Air Force 1 release is giving sneakerheads serious nostalgia for the iconic 2006 All-Star edition that started the cosmic trend.
Twinkling Across Generations
The 2024 "Star-Studded" iteration sparkles with familiar silver star perforations across its premium white leather upper - an identical treatment to the legendary '06 All-Star AF1 that debuted during NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston.
A Galactic Legacy
The original 2006 design celebrated Houston's space city heritage, featuring:
- 3M reflective star pattern throughout upper
- Special "Houston" tongue tag
- Glow-in-the-dark outsole
- Limited 500-pair release
While the 2024 version forgoes the city-specific details, it maintains the core star motif that made its predecessor a grail.
Where Celestial Heritage Meets Modern Craftsmanship
The new Star-Studded AF1 elevates the concept with:
Upgraded Italian leather replaces the original synthetic build
Modern tooling with less bulk and enhanced flexibility
Wider release than the ultra-limited 2006 pair (MSRP $150)
Available now on Nike.com and select retailers.
Longtime AF1 fans will recognize these constellations, peering through nearly two decades to reconnect with one of basketball's most commemorative sneaker moments.
