Finally, a shoe for singles on Valentine’s Day. This luxuriously plush take on the Air Force 1 sneaker certainly feels like one.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Valentine’s Day Triple Black” leans fully into an all-black look, rejecting the holiday’s usual reds and pinks in favor of something darker and more self-aware.
“Black Valentine’s Day” isn’t just a mood. It’s an unofficial holiday that originated in South Korea, observed by single people as a counterpoint to traditional Valentine’s Day.
Rather than celebrating couples, it centers independence, self-reflection, and opting out of performative romance altogether. The “Triple Black” Air Force 1 reads as a coded nod to that idea, essentially a Valentine’s sneaker for singles.

Just look at the monochromatic execution. The shoe is wrapped in luscious black suede, replacing the Air Force 1’s usual leather and giving the silhouette a richly textured feel.

Expected to arrive in early 2026 via Nike’s website for $110, the “Valentine’s Day Triple Black" joins a growing run of plush, material-forward Air Force 1s. From velvety brown iterations to louder V-Day red options elsewhere in the lineup, Nike has covered the spectrum.
Still, for the singles out there, an all-black Uptown with a hidden heart feels like the right kind of attention.
