SKU: IQ9965-001
MSRP: TBD
Release Date: January 14, 2026
Where to Buy:Nike

Nike is flipping the script on the season of love with a brooding, sophisticated take on its most iconic silhouette. Moving away from the traditional palette of saccharine pinks and reds, the Nike Air Force 1 Triple Black “Valentine’s Day” offers a “Noir” perspective on romance. This edition is designed for those who prefer their sentimentality with a side of edge, trading bright colors for a deep, monochromatic aesthetic that feels both mysterious and premium.

The upper is crafted from a high-grade, tumbled leather that gives the “Triple Black” finish a rich, textural depth. While the exterior remains understated, the details are where the storytelling thrives, namely the repeated tiny hearts pattern on the upper. The most striking feature of this release is the functional locket accessory—a polished, heart-shaped charm finished in a gunmetal chrome that hangs from the laces. This piece is designed to be personalized, serving as a wearable memento that bridges the gap between jewelry and footwear. Additional festive touches include university red insole.

By combining the universal appeal of the Triple Black AF1 with custom, jewelry-inspired hardware, Nike has created a Valentine’s release that transcends the holiday, remaining a versatile staple long after February.
