Until February 14th is squarely in the rearview, Valentine’s Day shoes will remain a massive, massive priority for both us and the industry’s biggest companies. After dropping a select few colorways for the real proactive planners, adidas is unleashing some more proximate fare, including a new “Valentine’s Day” look for the Samba that toys with one of its steadiest aspects.

Indeed, in similar fashion to a “Pink Spark” pair that hit the newswire closer to the very top of the year, the T-toe that’s been synonymous with the silhouette gets a real makeover, given jagged edges and amorphous shapes to better befit a flowery, lace shift in materiality. Pair that with the oversized ribbon laces, and it’s clear that balletcore aesthetics are what this pair has in mind, further developed with glossy synthetic foundations. To make good on that holiday spirit, however, it’s a row of mini heart cut-outs on the tongue, further marking a hallmark of the V-Day festivities earlier seen on a separate Samba.

The adidas Samba “Valentine’s Day” should be landing soon via adidas.com and partnering retailers, likely exclusive to women’s sizing. Catch official images below and check in to our coverage as the big day approaches for direct pick-up links once this pair touches down.
