Connecting Eras

Like its 2006 predecessor, this design captures the essence of superstar play during All-Star weekend. The original sneaker came packaged in a special starball-inspired box, which many collectors still consider the holy grail of AF1 packaging. Journalist Mike DeStefano noted:
"The '06 edition was everything basketball sneaker culture represented - flashy, unapologetic, and connected to the spectacle of the game. This new interpretation smartly modernizes that DNA."
