We’ve got plenty of evidence that the Swoosh goes all out every February, but the rapid pace at which Nike Valentine’s Day 2025 has taken shape is surprising all the same, particularly given that (at the time of writing) we’ve still got many of the year’s biggest Holidays left to work through. Nonetheless, we’re getting a very good sense of what’ll be lining the shelves towards the start of next year, continuing with the Nike Cortez “Valentine’s Day.”

The heel is where to start with this design, sporting a cutesy pink heart and embroidered Swoosh, outlined with crocheted detailing that enhances a cottage-core, homemade atmosphere. As you work through the rest of the shoe, that becomes a genuine guiding light for this design, with triangular stitching on the Swoosh and shaggy suede furthering the design choice. The tongue provides a counter-narrative in candy heart style, calling a “you’re the apple of my eye” one-liner to mind with a nested logo, the Swoosh landing inside a heart, itself inside an apple.

Naturally, expect the Nike Cortez “Valentine’s Day” to hit shelves and Nike.com this February. Women’s sizing and a $110 retail price are confirmed.
