Valentines Day Gift Guide For That Special Sneakerhead In Your Life!!
With Valentines day right around the corner, you may be wondering what to get that special sneakerhead in your life. Here are a few gift ideas to kick (pun intended) your Valentines day off right.
adidas Stan Smith
adidas has decorated it’s timeless Stan Smith silhouette with a red heart for this years holiday of love.
This V-day Stan Smith is available now as part of adidas’ Valentines day collection and is also available in a red colorway for $100 each.
Emotionally Unavailable x Nike Air Force 1 High “Valentine’s Day.”
Clothing brand Emotionally Unavailable has teamed up with Nike for a Valentines day rendition of the Air Force 1 High.
The Emotionally Unavailable x Nike Air Force 1 High is available now via very select retailers.
“Girls Don’t Cry” X Nike SB Dunk Low
This sneaker was not made specifically for Valentines Day, but we thought it still makes a great V-Day gift.
Verdy of “Girls Don’t Cry” has a Nike SB Dunk Low pack dropping on February 9th. Rumored to be releasing in two color ways: All red and an all cream version.
Nike Air Max 1 "Have a Nike Day" In Blue
Another Air Max 1 has surfaced as part of the “Have A Nike Day” pack, which celebrates Nike’s self-made holiday Air Max Day (coming up in March 2019).
In contrast to the Multi-colored pair that was previewed a few weeks ago, this Air Max 1 is dressed in all blue. Light blue mesh makes up most of the upper, with darker shades of blue suede covering the side panels, heel, and mudguard. This blue suede shoe also features a "Have a Nike Day" tongue tag, as well as a Swoosh smiley face embroidered on the heel in white, and a metal lace pin of the same logo. The pair is finished off with a white mid and translucent undersole.
The Air Max 1 is one of my favorite sneaker silhouettes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a colorway featured on an Air Max 1 that I didn’t like and this pair is no different. I really like the pairing of the light blue and dark blue Nike has done here. Nike always does a great job of balancing colors. Always conscious of not over using a specific color and also knowing when to use a color sparsely. This Air Max 1 is a must cop for me.
This pair will release with the rest of the “Have A Nike Day Pack” in March to celebrate Air Max Day 2019.
Take a closer look at the Air Max 1 “Have A Nike Day” in blue in the gallery above and Let us know what you think of this sneaker and what Air Max you will be wearing on Air Max Day 2019.
Game of Thrones X adidas Ultraboost Collection
adidas is releasing an Ultraboost collection in collaboration with Game of Thrones. The six sneakers in this pack represent a house in the GoT story: House Lannister, House Stark, House Targaryen, the Targaryen’s Dragons, White Walkers and Night’s Watch. Details come in the form of GoT branded insoles, house heel tab and house motifs hidden on the back of tongue tags.
I honestly do not get this collection. It seems kind of forced to me. I mean, does anyone want a Game of Thrones X adidas collaboration? I don’t see the story here. How does GoT fit into sneaker culture? GoT characters don’t even wear sneakers. It just seems like adidas is grasping at straws trying to capitalize off of a show with a huge fan base.
With that being said, I do like a couple of these colorways (outside of the story of G.O.T). The White/Silver colorway is cool, but that icy blue colorway is dope! I would definitely rock those.
There is no info on pricing or a release date yet, but the series finally begins April 14th on HBO so I am sure the collection will release sometime around then.

Nathan Bell X Nike Zoom Pegasus 35 With Hand Drawn Like Doodles
Virgil Abloh’s Off-White collaborations with Nike has set a DIY, reconstructed trend that I am really enjoying. Artist Nathan Bell puts his spin this trend with his Nike Zoom Pegasus 35 collaboration. This Oreo colorway of the Zoom Pegasus 35 features doodles of stars, crowns, unicorn horns and more on the midsole, heel cup, insole, outsole, tongue and laces. Also featured are hand written style quotes on the midsole stating “Last one gets a rotten egg” and “Run to a magical place”. A marker pen type sketch of the Nike Swoosh can also be found on this running sneaker.
Take a look at the Nike Zoom Pegasus 35 in the photo gallery above and let us know how you feel about this sneaker in the comments below.
The Nike Zoom Pegasus 35 will be available on February 14 at Nike and select retailers worldwide.
