Matt Varga Since first inking a partnership toward the start of the decade, Victor Salomon has quickly become pro hoops’ go-to for any moment that needs elevating: the All-Star Game MVP trophy, the WNBA MVP trophy, and countless prestigious junctures in the time between. As All-Star Weekend 2026 in Los Angeles itself rises to become one of the most jam-packed stretches in sneakers we’ve seen in recent memory, why turn to anyone else as Nike adds a premier lifestyle collection to their mix?
In truth, the Victor Salomon x Nike All-Star collection gets its arms around three classics: the Air Force 1 Low, the Air Max 90, and the Air Foamposite One, but it’s the lattermost that’s earned an early lead as the real chase product of the set. It’s hard to decide where to begin; the most real estate is devoted to an interpretation of paisley print, long an LA staple, splayed in rich, inky lines across the molded uppers with almost a cartographical grid underneath.
Despite the tanky reputation that Foams have always enjoyed, Victor Salomon adds delicate detailing on the tongue, in a touch that’s mirrored throughout the rest of the capsule. Off-white tumbled leather paces the spaces between, including an overhaul of the tongue and rear pull tabs, before actual gold takes over to close; carat laces actually serve their function despite the precious materials used there. A map of Los Angeles on the insoles ensures you don’t lose sight of where exactly this pair’s inspo derives.
As promised in our title, getting your hands on the Victor Salomon x Nike Air Foamposite One may prove challenging; only 1,000 pairs are on offer this weekend. The man himself promises more info on a drop via his socials, but we already know that Shoe Palace will be dropping some quantity on February 13th (now confirmed by Shoe Palace to be taking place at 10AM). Retail is set at $350 regardless of where you seek these out.
