Famed German sportswear label adidas released a Valentine's Day sneaker just in time for the romantic holiday. To celebrate the day, the brand's festive approach takes the iconic adidas Superstar silhouette, and re-imagines it to rock a red and white color palette with an embellished heart.
The adidas Originals Valentine's Day sneaker sports an all white base as its foundation and is accented with half a heart at the medial area of each shoe. When placed together at the soles of the sneakers, it forms a complete red heart embellishment. The romantic pair of Valentine's Day sneakers are available at select retailers and online at the adidas Originals website.
