With Valentine’s Day looking a little different this year, brands have been sending love to their consumers in the best form — sneakers. Labels like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Converse have all joined in on the lovefest, and we’re eyeing a few of the best pairs for our Valentines (which may or may not be ourselves).
Nike Air Force 1 Low "Valentine's Day," $170
Fittingly named after the February holiday, these classic kicks keep it clean with a white upper branded with an off-white Swoosh. A glossy heart addition by the heel nods to its namesake and red branding graces the tongue and heels.
"Made With Love" Chuck 70, $90
Available in multiple shades, this high top sneaker is just the right amount of casual for this year’s celebrations. A heart-printed outsole adds to embroidered detailing on the upper, which boasts “Made with Love” messaging and white hearts.
New Balance "57/40," $120
These bright New Balance sneakers fit right into trending ‘80s designs and the February holiday. With a pink leather upper and neo flame midsole, this shoe is sure to catch a special someone’s attention.
Air Force 1 Low '07 QS "Valentine’s Day Love Letter," $160
If you’re looking to go all out for Valentine’s Day, you'll need this sneaker, which is packed with passionate details. Decked out in pink suede and red leather, this shoe features heart-shaped perforations, heart graphics, and a hidden love letter.
Adidas UltraBoost 4.0 "DNA," $180
For a more athletic look, Adidas’ Valentine’s Day offering keeps it simple and clean. The sneaker’s lacing cage and the medial portion of the midsole are adorned with multicolored hearts, while inside, the insole boasts a heart-filled print.
"Twisted Hearts" Chuck Taylor All Star, $60
This unisex high top screams Valentine’s Day with its heart-covered upper and pink coloring. Featuring a red foil heart accent, this sneaker also comes in black for a more low-key look.
Nike Air Max 90 "Valentine's Day," $140
Similar to the holiday Air Force 1 the brand dropped, this Air Max 90 features hidden phrases like “ME + AM90 = TRUE LOVE” and “AM 90 4EVER.” Its obvious pink and red colors, however, pay tribute to passionate occasion.
