We could all use a little positivity and pampering after the past year. Whether you are looking to splurge on yourself or get a gift or two for your loved ones, here are the most lovable releases for Valentine’s Day:

Nike
Will the hype for exclusive sneaker collections ever cease? Probably not. Last year, Nike launched an exclusive SB Dunk for Valentine’s Day called StrangeLove. It sold out instantly, and the sneakers now resell for about $1,000 (depending on the size and if you have the special edition box).
This year, Nike launched multiple Valentine’s themed shoes. Some of these kicks have already released in Asian markets, meaning limited sizes are available on sneaker sites at a decent up-sell. The US release date is (tentatively) February 13th. If your special someone deserves a treat after putting up with you during quarantine, see if you can snag one of these babies at retail price. Here are the details—it’s time to plan your strategy.
- Valentine’s Day Nike Air Force: Your regular Air Forces got a cute update—a heart-shaped ornament on the heel of the shoe. The rest of the shoe comes in a White/Sail colorway. (Learn more here.)
- Valentine’s Day Air Max 90: Air Max lovers everywhere will be lusting after this particular shoe in a red, pink, and white colorway. (Learn more here.)
- Nike Air Force 1 Love Letter: Pay attention to this shoe’s special details, like the heart perforations, the suede material, and the hidden love letter on the shoe’s tongue. (Learn more here.)
