Nike pays homage to basketball's mid-2000s style with a dazzling new release

Nike Basketball is taking sneakerheads on a nostalgic trip with its latest Air Force 1 release, featuring a star pattern that immediately recalls the brand's famous 2006 NBA All-Star collection.
The premium white leather upper is nearly identical to the 2006 design, complete with a:
- Metallic silver Swoosh logo
- Scattered star pattern resembling the night sky
- Translucent icy blue outsole
- Special All-Star branding on the tongue
The 2006 All-Star Connection
The 2006 NBA All-Star Game in Houston saw Nike release several models with similar celestial decoration, including:
- Air Force 1 "All-Star" (the OG version)
- Dunk "All-Star" high and low
- Air Max 90 "All-Star"
"The 2006 All-Stars represented basketball's loudest fashion era—think throwback jerseys, oversized fits, and of course, statement sneakers. This AF1 update perfectly captures that extravagant energy." - Marcus Johnson, Sole Collector Magazine
