DJ Clark Kent All Star AF1



For most of the past NBA All Star Games, Nike has commemorated the occasion with a special edition Air Force 1 that’s usually sold in the hosting city. This year, instead of Nike’s designer coloring up the design, DJ Clark Kent has stepped into the ASG Air Force 1 designer role. The colors are of course inspired by they host city’s own, the Phoenix Suns. On the upper, DJCK chose a lux tan nubuck for the front half with micro-perforations on on the toebox and side panels. The rest of the upper features a yellow perforated leather on the swoosh, tongue label and heel tab while the heel is a patent purple. The inner lining and to the midsole features orange while the outsole is a nice clean gum. The year “09″ is stitched on to the outer front side and the lace locks call out “East” on the right shoe and “West” on the left shoe. To finish out this nice package, DJ Clark Kent invited lace masters Starks to design a fitting set of laces for the 2009 All Star Game Air Force 1.
