When we think about Valentine’s Day and the colors that symbolize love, we see red. To symbolize a depth of love that is deeper, bolder, and more vibrant, Carmine turns everything up a notch. This vivid red and white colorway on the Jordan 6 has been beloved since 1991, and it makes its return for lovers of perfection with impeccable timing. Cupid didn’t skimp with sizing as the Jordan 6 Retro Carmine is available in full-family sizing, letting the whole family get in on the love.

So pucker up with this necessary accessory this Valentine’s Day.  

Air Jordan 1 Retro High Satin Black Toe (W)

The Jordan 1 Satin Black Toe will elevate your fit, no matter if you’re dressing up or down. These could be the best Valentine you ever get.

Nike Dunk Low Orange Pearl

The Dunk looks to continue its sneaker silhouette reign in 2021, and no one is complaining! This Dunk Low makes an ideal Valentine’s gift for someone special with a romantic touch of light pink applied to most of the overlays, even if that someone special is you. Even better, the softer shade of Orange Pearl will complement your spring fits long after the chocolates are eaten, and the roses have wilted.

Girls Don't Cry Heart Keychain Pink

Girls Don’t Cry Heart Keychain Pink

In the list of Valentine’s Day cliches, “Key to my heart” is one of the most overused. The Girls Don’t Cry Heart Keychain is a great way to inject some fun into an otherwise stale and sentimental statement. The keychain lets the world know that if there’s a literal “key to your heart,” it’s right there next to your car key. And if you don’t like pink, the keychain comes in green and red too.

The Nike ICONS book highlights Abloh’s design process behind his now-legendary “The Ten” Nike Collection. Whether you really intend on looking through each detailed image of the sneaker design process or just plan to class up your coffee table, this book belongs in the home of everyone who claims to love design, fashion, and sneakers.

Nike Air Max 90 Valentine’s Day (2021) (W)

In 2014 at the tender age of 22, Selena Gomez revealed herself to be wise beyond her years when she released the song The Heart Wants What It Wants. When talking about the Air Max 90, that sentiment is the gospel. For over thirty years, hearts the world over have wanted, and wallets have copped, Air Max 90s. This year, the Nike Air Max 90 Valentine’s Day is the perfect love letter to yourself and your heart’s desire.

Air Jordan 1 High Zoom Air CMFT Pink Glaze (W)

Featuring a Pink Glaze colorway reminiscent of the Air Jordan 1 High Rust Pink, the Jordan 1 High Zoom Air CMFT Pink Glaze combines a blend of updated materials, a slightly tweaked design, and the most comfortable sole on a pair of Jordans this side of Dr. Scholl’s. For style and comfort, these sneakers are as much a Valentine for your feet as they are for your love.

Supreme Steiff Bear Heather Grey

Supreme x Steiff Bear Heather Grey

Teddy Bears are a staple of Valentine’s Day gift-giving. More often than not, the bears are last-minute items picked up from airport gift shops, grocery store end caps, or sad Hallmark Store displays. Step up your plush game with the Elmar Bear from the Supreme x Steiff collaboration. Rocking a classic gray box logo hoodie, the bear sold out immediately when it dropped in 2018. So this year, skip the drugstore and pick up the sublime combination of hype and huggability of the Supreme Stieff Bear Heather Gray. 

Telfar Shopping Bag Small Chocolate

Let’s be real: Chocolates are great, but they don’t last long. We suggest bypassing the confections and checking out what designer Telfar Clemens has to offer. Instead of a small box of chocolates, the Telfar Shopping Bag Small Chocolate in vegan leather with silver-tone is the gift to grab. Chic, on-trend, and available at a price point that won’t make you feel guilty, like slamming a whole box of chocolates in one day but without the toothache.

Whether you’re playing your favorite music, listening to your favorite true-crime podcast, relaxing with an audiobook, or FaceTiming with your sweetheart, the AirPods let you get lost, blessedly lost, in your own heart for a little while.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Valentine’s Day (2021)

When it comes to expressions of love, it never hurts to reach for the classics. Looking for some literary inspiration? Check out Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Perhaps a historical romance is more your thing? You can’t go wrong with Abelard and Heloise. For classic kicks, Air Force 1s are just as timeless. Featuring subtle touches of Sail to add some warmth, red on the tongue and heel, and a red heart patch on the heel counters, the Air Force 1 Valentine’s Day is as quintessential as Cupid, roses, champagne, and chocolate-covered strawberries.

Classics are classic for a reason. Hearts are the standard when denoting romance, and Chucks are iconic sneakers. Comme des Garçons PLAY struck iconographic gold when it remade the Chuck Taylor All-Star 70s Hi and added the playful heart with eyes PLAY logo to the silhouette. With this combination, the CDG PLAY Chuck Taylors make every day the 14th (of February).

Human Made x Girls Don’t Cry Boxers Red / White

There is a lengthy tradition of gifting heart boxers for Valentine’s Day. Usually, the boxers are corny, and the gifting is meant more as a joke. But, when Verdy and Nigo come together, they turn the joke into smoke. The Human Made x Girls Don’t Cry Boxers expertly walk the line between hype and kitsch.

Nike x Drake Certified Lover Boy Hat White 

If you’re looking for romance tips, there are worse pop stars to emulate than Drake.

So play Cupid for yourself this Valentine’s Day with the Nike x Drake Certified Lover Boy Hat, complete with a lipstick kiss on the brim (maybe Supreme x Pat McGrath Labs?), and let everyone wonder if you’ll be the best they ever had.
