The 2024 "Constellation" Air Force 1 draws inspiration from 2006's galaxy of stars
A Galaxy Reborn
The new "Constellation" AF1 features navy blue leather with white star patterns reminiscent of both the 2006 Air Force 1 Mid "All-Star" and the even more exclusive LeBron 4 CVS ("Constellation Virgo Star") released in conjunction with that year's All-Star weekend.

Design Details That Shine
- Navy blue premium leather upper with tonal stitching
- Glow-in-the-dark white star constellations across the panels
- Metallic silver Swoosh logo resembling distant stars
- Icy blue translucent outsole that mimics the 2006 reference pair
- Special constellation-themed hangtag
A Celestial Trend Returns
Nike designers have been revisiting their cosmic archives recently, with star patterns appearing on multiple models. However, none have matched the cultural impact of the 2006 designs, which emerged during peak mid-2000s sneaker culture. The 2024 interpretation offers a fresh take while respecting the original blueprint.
"The 2006 All-Star collection represented a golden age of storytelling through sneaker design," notes sneaker historian Mark Horowitz. "This new Air Force 1 captures that same galaxy-inspired magic while appealing to contemporary collectors."
Availability
The Star-Studded Air Force 1 will release June 18 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers for $150. A special packaging treatment reunites the designs with constellation maps and glow-in-the-dark elements just like their 2006 predecessors.
