Why The 2006 Pair Matters
Released to commemorate the NBA All-Star weekend in Houston, the 2006 AF1 quickly became the must-have shoe for sneakerheads and basketball fans alike. Limited production and numerous celebrity sightings (including nods from Jay-Z and LeBron James) catapulted these into legendary status, with deadstock pairs occasionally fetching over $2,000
