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:

  1. Air Force 1 "All-Star" (the OG version)
  2. Dunk "All-Star" high and low
  3. 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
