Nike's latest star-covered Air Force 1 pays direct homage to one of the most beloved All-Star sneakers from 2006, creating a wave of nostalgia among sneaker enthusiasts.
A Heavenly Body
The 2023 iteration features a shimmering celestial pattern across its premium white leather upper, remarkably similar to the detailing found on the rare 2006 All-Star AF1. Both designs use metallic star accents that catch light differently depending on the angle, creating an almost holographic effect.
The All-Star Connection
What makes these two pairs kindred spirits beyond their cosmic appearance? The original 2006 All-Star edition debuted during a special period of AF1 experimentation:
- Premium non-traditional materials for Air Force 1s
- Special release quantities below 500 pairs
- Packaging including constellation-printed boxes
"The precision in mirroring those tiny star cutouts shows Nike knows exactly how emotional those 2006 pairs make collectors. This may be the best throwback Air Force 1 in a decade." — Donovan Carter, Sole Collector Magazine
