Decades have passed since the Nike Air Alpha Force 88 first hit shelves. Though largely overshadowed by the other performance models in the ‘80s, this silhouette holds its niche claim to fame - it’s one of the few non-Jordan models Michael Jordan ever wore during an NBA game. This year, this classic made a nostalgic comeback and soon after in OG colorways and even was host to multiple collaborations with Billie Eilish. As we anticipate Billie’s Venom Green release, which is expected this Holiday season, 2024 will bring a handful of new makeovers, including this Red Stardust rendition.
The Nike Air Alpha Force 88 Red Stardust stands out with its soft suede upper, awash in the vibrant hue of red stardust. Subtle contrasts arise with black and sanddrift accents peppered throughout, from the toe box to the heel overlays. The leather tongue and mesh collar complement the plush suede finish, offering style and comfort. The shoe's lockdown strap, bearing the signature shade of red stardust, seamlessly integrates with the design. A standout feature is the iconic Air Force branding in a striking black, adorned with a vivid orange basketball graphic atop the tongue. A defining touch, the sanddrift shade gracefully borders the Swoosh and carries onto the midsole and outsole, tying the entire design together.
The Nike Air Alpha Force 88 Red Stardust is set to release on January 4, 2024, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $140.
