The Spring shopping window is largely defined by two major sneaker holidays: Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day. Jordan Brand consistently shows up for both with expansive lifestyle and basketball collections, and 2026 is no exception. The Valentine’s Day lineup now includes this Air Jordan 1 Mid for grade schoolers, once again tapping into a theme inspired by classic heart candies.

Much like the Valentine’s Day Jordan MVP 92, this pair leans into a soft, pastel palette built around Half Blue, Pale Ivory, and White. The heel panel immediately stands out, reworked with oversized curved serrations. Woven white laces add another distinctive detail, joined by heart candy graphics on the insoles and a heart-shaped branded hangtag. The special treatment extends to the packaging as well, complete with custom paper, a heart cutout on the box, and a to-from sticker for gifting.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Valentine’s Day” is expected to release Spring 2026 exclusively in grade school sizing. See official images below and visit our Jordan Release Dates page to browse more upcoming 1s.
