The New Starry AF1 Arrives
The just-released Nike Air Force 1 'INDULGE' comes covered in metalic silver stars against a crisp white leather base. This cosmic detailing immediately draws comparisons to the beloved 2006 Nike Air Force 1 Mid All-Star basketball shoe that featured an almost identical star motif. That Houston All-Star edition became legendary among collectors for its premium materials and space city inspiration.

Looking Back At The 2006 All-Star Classic
The 2006 edition was created specifically for the NBA's mid-season showcase in Houston. The all-white mid-top featured:
- Foiled silver star detailing across the upper
- Commemorative All-Star branding on the tongue
- Clear icy outsole resembling the hosting city's NASA connections
- Limited production numbers adding to its exclusivity
Similarities That Spark Excitement
Sneaker designers appear to be intentionally referencing this legendary 2006 release in the new AF1's aesthetic. Beyond the star patterns, both versions play with space-age themes through their cold color palettes and celestial material choices. The 2006 pair regularly sells for $2000+ on resale markets, making this new accessible version particularly appealing to collectors who missed the original.
