DJ Clark Kent joined forces with Nike to create a special Air Force 1 in celebration of the 2009 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix, Arizona. Inspired by the host city’s Phoenix Suns, the limited-edition sneaker brings together a mix of premium materials, including nubuck and patent leather, with a bold color story drawn from the team’s purple, orange and yellow palette.
The details made this release stand out. The package included three sets of custom Starks laces and East/West lace locks, giving the shoe an extra All-Star touch and connecting it to the weekend’s matchup between the league’s two conferences. Clark Kent’s design was part of Nike’s special 2009 All-Star Air Force 1 releases, which arrived around the February 13–15 festivities.
A strong collaboration between DJ Clark Kent, Nike and Starks, this pair remains a memorable chapter in the Air Force 1’s long run of limited All-Star editions.
