As the 2009 NBA All Star Game comes to the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix), Nike has commemorated the occasion with another special edition Air Force 1 as they have been doing for the past few years.   DJ Clark Kent is heading the effort with his taste in colors and worked in the host city’s own, the Phoenix Suns’ colorway. On the upper, he 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.  Finishing off the shoe,  Starks stepped in with a special design pair of laces.   Look for the exclusive drop a week prior to the All-Star Game in Phoenix.  via Sneakernews | Freshness
