Kicking off 2023, the rumor mill spared no time in teasing what was to come from the year. Word of the Nike Air Alpha Force 88 returning to the market popped up, leading to the shoe’s eventual return in July. The shoe, as seen on Michael Jordan in the release period between the Air Jordan 2 and 3, has adopted a myriad of colorways — both old and new — with black and white serving as predominant hues.

In “Red Stardust” and “Medium Grey,” the retro silhouette has been refreshed with suede detailing across the upper. The former leans on its signature soft pink, having it coat everything from the midfoot strap to the heel embroidery while a dark cream color can be spotted at the stitched sole unit. As for its “Medium Grey” counterpart, the suede and leather upper similarly sees its primary shade spread throughout while the sole unit favors a beige-gray finish.

Nike has yet to announce any release details regarding both the “Red Stardust” and “Medium Grey” colorways of the Air Alpha Force 88. Hang tight as we await official word from the Swoosh as these pairs are expected to hit shelves by the end of 2023 via Nike and select retailers at a price of $130 USD each.
