Deep Down, Nike's "Tough" Jordan Sneaker Is Really a Lover Girl

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

This Air Jordan 4 may look clean and simple on the outside, but on the inside, it's filled with love. Literally.

Love is quite literally in the "Air," with the sportswear giant rolling out a Valentine's Day-themed Jordan 4 sneaker just in time for the holiday.

The model's exterior is covered in ultra-creamy leather painted in the off-white and red hues, a.k.a. "Pale Ivory" and "Tough Red." But even with its "tough" looks, the Jordan sneaker has a soft side.

On the inside of the Jordan 4, the bold red color meets lipstick marks, seen behind the tongue and on the insoles.

It brings back memories of Vaquera's smooched-up Air Max DN8 collaboration. The latest just has fewer kisses, of course.

The "Valentine's Day" Jordan 4 sneaker is expected to drop on February 7 on Nike's SNKRS app for $225, joining a slew of other holiday-ready sneakers from the brand.

Indeed, there's plenty of Swoosh love to go around. The brand has designed cupid-struck Air Force 1s and even adorable Dunks for V-Day. Throw in these lover-girl-worthy AJ4s, too.
