Nike has introduced a slew of Valentine's Day-themed sneakers in the past, and the Nike Air More Uptempo '96 Valentine's Day celebrates this romantic holiday with pastel bursts of color. Instead of bright red or pink, Nike opted for a dark wine-colored upper, subtly outlined with light pink for the iconic 'AIR' branding. The light pink Swoosh on the back complements the dark wine shade that extends to the midsole and surrounds the air bubbles. This thoughtful color palette transforms the sneaker into an all-year-round wearable shoe rather than just for February 14. Released on February 7, 2023, at a retail price of $170, this retro hoops shoe also features a brown nubuck upper with jumbo-sized ‘AIR’ lettering and elastic straps for a secure fit, as well as pull loops for easy on and off.
