The underreported sixth love language: receiving sneakers. Gary Chapman may not have put his stamp on that unofficial member, but the Swoosh is clearly a believer in it all the same. While Valentine’s Day products have been part and parcel of the Swoosh’s Spring strategy for years, it doesn’t feel like hyperbole to say that their efforts for 2026 are stronger than ever.

A fresh Air Force 1 Low “Valentine’s Day” now comes to light as part of that, arguably the most transformative/creative of the crop so far. At first glance, the delicate tonality in baby blue and light pink overall isn’t too much of a shock, either for the occasion and in the greater landscape of AF1 colorways. The heel strikes as the most impactful section, with an embossed heart taking over the back tab, met with an inset ribbon and a pearl heart on the heel counter, with room for a key insert. Shift over to the midline for another big swing, where crushed velvet paints the quarter panel, Swoosh, and tongue, finished with plush textures on the laces.

Look for this Nike Air Force 1 Low to touch down as a part of the broader Nike Valentine’s Day 2026 slate. Expect a $130 retail price and women’s sizing upon arrival.
