Nike Air Max 90

“Love Letter” $146

If your honey’s love language is words of affirmation but you’re not very articulate, these are for you. The tongue tags reveal a secret message, a detail worth a thousand words.

Do you love these? Circle yes or no.

“Valentine’s Day” $299

Puma Future Rider

“Galentine’s Day” $70

You don’t need me to tell you that platonic love is just as important on V-Day. Slip into something comfy (these shoes), grab your girls, and celebrate with your Galentines.

Fries over guys and shoes over boos.

Air Jordan 1 Mid

“Valentine’s Day” (Unreleased)

These technically haven’t been released yet, but there’s still a chance they could drop before you trade gifts with your partner. The roses on the heels symbolize Valentine’s sweetest flower — but what’s better than that new shoe smell?

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.

Puma Suede Heart Reset

“Prism Pink” $125

These are like pink Starbursts and cotton candy rolled up into a sneaker silhouette. If these are a gift and you want to be really creative, wrap the shoebox in a ribbon that matches the laces.

Gorgeous gorgeous girls love pink sneakers.

Puma

Reebok Club C 85

“Valentine’s Day” $154

The “C” in Club C stands for Cupid. Not only are these just plain classic, they’re also all dressed up for February 14th’s date night with burgundy soles, tongue hearts, and fuzzy heels.

A pair that’ll make you feel all fuzzy inside — and out.
