Nike is giving their Air Force 1 Lows a retro makeover with its new reveal of the AF1 Low “Fiesta.” As the footwear brand continues to expand its NBA 75th Anniversary collection, Nike is reaching into the archives of the basketball league to properly honor three-quarters of a century of the organization.

The 1996 NBA All-Star uniforms have been labeled as one of the most unique jerseys for the event in the history of the NBA. Most notable for its teal color and cartoon-like font, the jerseys are now one of the most sought-after vintage merch from that year’s All-Star game. The “Fiesta” pair is an ode to the era and sticks with the striking color palette of teal, orange and pink as the accents on the heel and the Swoosh over a white and grey leather base. Anniversary callouts for the NBA’s diamond celebration are seen on the tongue labels and diamond-etched lace dubraes.

The NBA x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Fiesta” is set to release in the coming months in select retailers and online at Nike.

In other celebratory NBA footwear, the league and Nike have dropped a new Blazer Mid “Trail Blazers”.
