Starks x DJ Clark Kent x Nike “2009 NBA All-Star Game” Air Force 1 Tier 0
by Eugene Kan, January 6, 2009
With much of DJ Clark Kent’s design prowess turning many of his sneaker designs into instant sellers, it comes as no surprise he was the one calling the shots for this year’s 2009 NBA All-Star Game Air Force 1. Inspired by the colors of the host city, the Phoenix Suns, we see a colorful yet cohesive colorway with a subtle look from the front that gradually gets more colorful as you progress towards the back. Highlights include the use of patent panels and piping as well as an “09″ embroidery with a clear sole. Sneaker accessory specialists Starks were also brought in for some detailing including custom laces & lace locks and insole design not to mention coming up with the East/West concept. Look for these to release during the 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend which takes place between February 13th and 15th at select Tier 0 accounts.
