Back in elementary school it may have been acceptable to break your sweetie off with some heart shaped candies, but if you’re past that stage then you need to step your gift game up. Enter the New Balance 996 ‘Valentines Day’, a red suede pair of kicks that has all the right detailing for that special day in February. The aforementioned red is an obvious choice, but in addition to that there are the heart shaped lacelocks and eyelets, as well as a graphic insole with more Cupid-approved details. Even the tongue tag goes for a romantic, swirly script. Get a full look at this special ladies release for the New Balance 996 after the jump and let us know if you’ll be picking these up come February. via SneakerFreaker
