[Nike's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-2025-sneakers) Air Force 1 Sage Low sneakers arrive in a new theme as [Valentine's Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-embraces-valentines-day) comes closer. The new update is showcased on the side of the sneaker where the Swoosh is, reimagined in a broken-hearted iteration. The sneaker silhouette made its original debut in 2018 when it was showcased as a part of the brand's The 1 Reimagined pack, featuring new iterations of the Air Force 1 and the Jordan 1s -- all of which were made for women, by women.

The new sneaker retains the platform sole unit and the uppers are constructed from [black leather materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-cat-colorway). It boasts a mesh toe box for breathability with the broken red Swoosh on the side. Rounding off the sneaker is a silver heart-shaped locket.
