The Air Force 1 will feature a cream colored lining with pink and red hues in addition to cherry heart designs that complete the classic Nike sneaker. A small heart dots the "i" on the midsole and has a double Swoosh with tiny cut-out stitching to complement the V-day theme. The outsole and heel of the shoe is colored a deep red to contrast the cream-colored background on the Air Force 1.

This unique Air Force 1 design will have similar traits as the first sneaker but features a baby pink swoosh against a maroon and cream wash while sticking to the original blueprint. The dark reddish tone carries to the outsole of the shoe to give an edgier style to the traditional white. This Air Force 1 will have matching shoe laces to tie in with the essence of the holiday.
