Valentine’s Day is a season for Nike and other footwear brands to experiment with new ways to commemorate this day, which is meant for love, often integrating themes from the holiday into classic silhouettes. So far, previews of a pack of Air Max 1s, two Dunk Lows with roses (one Black and the other Red), and multiple Air Force 1 Lows have hit the internet, with more AF1s getting added to the list. This time, the Bruce Kilgore-designed model is getting roses integrated into the upper.
Just like the two previously mentioned Dunk Low with roses, and unlike the Black White Roses pair, this pair sees rose petals infused into the leather paneling of the sneaker. The silhouette from top to bottom is coated in university red but retains key design details of the AF1, like the perforated toebox, lace dubrae, eyestays, and Swoosh on the midfoot. However, the mudguard, collar, and medial heel come redesigned to feature a rose petal embedded into the leather.
Aside from this added floral motif, the rest of the sneaker remains untouched, featuring the woven tongue label, Nike Air branding on the heel, and a mesh sockliner. Down below, the classic Air Force 1 midsole and outsole come in all-red to match the upper.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Red Roses W will release in Spring 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is $135.
