UPDATE 1/18/26: The Nike Air Max 90 Premium Valentine’s Day “Black” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 1/6/26:
Nike steers clear of typical holiday color references with the Nike Air Max 90 “Valentine’s Day”. A more subdued take on the occasion, the sneaker is offered up in black.

Textured suede and patterned textile sections make up the upper with a subtle heart-pattern that becomes more apparent on closer inspection. Smooth leather detail on the mudguard maintains a recognizable look for the Air Max 90.

Branding stays intentionally quiet. The Valentine’s theme appears only inside, marked by pink heart graphics on the insoles. A fully black midsole and outsole, including the Air unit, maintain a clean profile. A red colorway is expected to follow, offering contrast later.
