A Complete Guide to Every Sneaker Releasing for All-Star Weekend 2025
From ‘Bred’ to 'Black Metallic Reimagined,' an overview of the remastered icons and new collaborations launching now.

There’s no contemporary sneaker landscape without basketball. From Hall of Fame legends like Michael Jordan to next-generation marvels like Anthony Edwards, the figures dominating the hardwood continue to drive the footwear conversation.
Connecting the sneaker space to its athletic roots annually, All-Star Weekend has transformed from a performance showcase to a multifaceted celebration, with Air Jordan, Nike, adidas and others leveraging the mid-season moment to drop some of the calendar's most compelling releases. Whether it’s the introduction of the AJ6 ‘Infrared’ in Charlotte in 1991, the premiere of the adidas Yeezy Basketball Quantum in Chicago in 2020 or the launch of the Nike Book 1 ‘Mirage’ in 2024 in Indianapolis, brands build on the weekend’s energy to kick off the year with momentum. 2025 is no different.
Taking place in San Francisco from February 14 to 16, this year’s All-Star Weekend is stacked with some of 2025’s most anticipated silhouettes. From resurfaced Kobe signatures, the reemergence of the Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ and Union LA’s mashup of iconic AJ1s to a remastered edition of the AJ5 ‘Metallic’ and the return of ‘Bred,’ the All-Star excitement extends off the court and into the style world.
Below, discover every sneaker releasing for All-Star Weekend 2025.
Air Jordan 1 Retro ’85 'Bred' 2025
The one that started it all. Debuted in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 represented a leap forward not just for Nike, but sneaker culture writ large. While the silhouette released in a range of different palettes from the beginning, ‘Bred’ stands apart as particularly significant four decades on, executed in a Bulls-inspired black-and-red that continues to symbolize MJ’s unrivaled greatness.
Due to its revered status within the Air Jordan lineage, the Jumpman has revisited ‘Bred’ several times in the last 40 years in the form of both faithful and experimental variations. 2025’s release aims to recreate the model to its exact 1985 specifications, including a higher collar, wider toe box and the use of stiffer premium leather on the upper, contrasted by synthetic leather on the Swoosh branding. Underpinning the sneaker is a rubber cupsole, pairing white sidewalls with a durable crimson outsole.
Air Jordan 5 Retro ‘Black Metallic Reimagined’
The Air Jordan 5 debuted in 1990 as the third chapter in Tinker Hatfield’s creative partnership with Michael Jordan. Taking inspiration from fighter planes, the design featured a reflective tongue, translucent outsole and visible Air unit in the heel. 35 years later, Nike returns to the legendary model, remastering one of the silhouette’s launch colorways with premium details.
‘Metallic Reimagined’ represents both a return to form and a new perspective. While the style is constructed with durable black nubuck that recalls the 1990 model, the seam edges are updated with reflective 3M, adding a sense of depth to Hatfield’s groundbreaking design. The Nike Air branding on the heel is executed with a smooth, reflective appliqué treatment, while silver shark-tooth detailing is stacked on top of an icy semi-translucent outsole for an altogether aggressive aesthetic.
Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro 'Chicago Shadow'
An international symbol of MJ’s soaring acrobatics, the AJ1 initially dropped in a handful of bold colorways, with ‘Chicago’ making an on-court appearance at Jordan’s first-ever All-Star Game in 1985. Honoring that legacy four decades later, style institution Union LA adds a new chapter to its collaborative series with ‘Chicago Shadow.’
Since 2018, Union LA has presented hybridized takes on select Air Jordans, mixing and matching existing colorways into entirely new styles. For All-Star Weekend 2025, elements of the AJ1 ‘Shadow’ and ‘Chicago’ are expressed through a black-and-grey collar connected by zig-zag stitching to a red, white and black upper. Despite its status as a contemporary release, the design’s pre-yellowed midsole rounds out the concept with an archival aesthetic.
Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ 2025
With Orlando hosting All-Star Weekend 2012, it was only right Nike used the moment to celebrate the Air Foamposite One. The unofficial signature silhouette of Magic superstar Penny Hardaway, the central Florida location stood out as the perfect setting to unveil ‘Galaxy,’ highlighted by a shimmering space theme with starry notes of purple, blue and black.
Returning for the first time in 13 years, ‘Galaxy’ arrives in time for All-Star Weekend 2025 with original details intact. The molded Foamposite upper gives way to black nubuck on the collar and eyestay, with a tonal embroidered mini Swoosh at the lateral forefoot. Underfoot, the glow-in-the-dark translucent rubber outsole completes the nebular design language.
Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro ‘All-Star 2.0’
Debuted in 2010, Nike’s Zoom Kobe 6 is one of the most cherished models in Bryant’s signature series. Dreamed up by Eric Avar, the design is characterized by reptilian-inspired scales across the upper, nodding to Bryant’s “Black Mamba” persona.
Appearing at the 2011 All-Star Game in Los Angeles, the Zoom Kobe 6 ‘All-Star’ draped the style in a red and black color scheme as a tribute to the Western Conference team uniforms. While that colorway received a Protro reimagining for its 10th anniversary in 2021, 2025 sees the introduction of the Zoom Kobe 6 Protro ‘All-Star 2.0.’
Replacing the original’s hues with a monochromatic palette, ‘All-Star 2.0’ replaces the snakeskin-like texture on the lateral side with star shapes. A contrasting onyx Swoosh floats in at the midfoot, as #24’s Sheath logo sits atop the tongue. A full-length Cushlon midsole supports from below, complemented by a large and flexible Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot.
adidas Crazy 2 ‘All-Star’
Kobe Bryant began his professional basketball journey with adidas before jumping ship to join Nike. Although short-lived, the partnership yielded some of the era’s most futuristic and radical designs, all of which are perhaps more appreciated now than they were when they debuted at the dawn of the 21st century. The Kobe 2, originally released in 2001, would be Bryant’s last model with the German brand. Now known as the adidas Crazy 2, the Black Mamba signature returns for All-Star Weekend 2025.
Informed by the aesthetics of Audi’s TT Roadster, the silhouette adorned Bryant’s feet en route to an MVP performance at 2002’s All-Star Game in Philadelphia. Mirroring the exact same color story seen on-court more than 20 years ago, the adidas Crazy 2 ‘All-Star’ features an angular white upper, complemented by hits of yellow at the collar, toe, heel and outsole. Notes of black complete the faithful remaster along the lining and tongue.
