Product Description
Nike has introduced a slew of Valentine's Day-themed sneakers in the past. The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Valentine's Day (2023) was one of the sneakers that was designed specifically to help celebrate V-Day.
Rather than making these sneakers bright red or pink, Nike chose to create a dark wine-colored upper and outlined the iconic "AIR" branding in a light pink to make it more subtle. The Swoosh on the back of the sneaker was also done up in a light pink color, while the dark wine color continued down to the midsole and surrounded the air bubbles at the bottom of the shoe.
In our expert opinion, these color choices made all the difference when it came to the success of the sneaker. It turned it into a shoe that could be worn all year round as opposed to just on February 14. The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Valentine's Day (2023) was released on February 7, 2023, when it retailed for $170.
