Nike's latest star-covered Air Force 1 has sneakerheads flashing back to one of the most iconic basketball All-Star Weekend releases from 2006. These celestial kicks seem to be a spiritual successor, if not a direct homage, to previous stellar designs from the brand's archive.
2006 All-Star Retro Connection
The 2006 Nike Air Force 1 "All-Star" edition gained legendary status among collectors for its premium white leather upper dotted with metallic silver stars - similar design language we're seeing in this contemporary pair. That year's Vegas All-Star game inspired this orbit-elevating design.
Modern Celestial Update
The 2023 version intensifies the cosmic theme with a midnight navy background against which silver foil stars appear to twinkle. The updated version reportedly will include premium Nebula-inscribed branding on the tongue tag and special constellation-patterned insole details.
Nike's Starry Legacy
Sneaker historians will note the star motif appears throughout Nike's most collectible releases:
- 2004 AF1 Low "3M Stars"
- 2007 SB Dunk "Stars" Pack
- 2013 Flyknit Lunar "Starry Night"
