Forget red roses. Forget romantic cards. Forget Valentine’s Day. These sneakers are what you’ll want to spend your hard-earned money on this February. Nike is going all out with amazing new releases that will leave your jaw on the floor. This is the craziest month we’ve had for sneakers in ages.
Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro “Hydrogen Blue”
Circle February 1, 2026 on your calendar. The Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro “Hydrogen Blue” lands at $190, style code IH1401-402, and it keeps things cool without trying too hard. Nike’s Protro rollout keeps upgrading Kobe classics with modern tooling, and this pair proves subtle can still turn heads.
You’re getting a breathable Engineered Mesh upper in Hydrogen Blue, darker Photo Blue on the outsole and lining, and crisp White on the Swoosh. Blue Flywire cables lock you in. The Kobe shield hits the tongue, his signature signs off on the heel. Clean, balanced, ready for real runs.
Nike GT Cut 4 “Preheat”
Nike tips off a new chapter on February 3, 2026 with the GT Cut 4 “Preheat,” the first swing at its next-gen Greater Than series. Price tag sits at $200, style code IQ6206-500, and this one doesn’t ease into the spotlight.
The upper shifts between Persian Violet, Glacier Blue, and Chrome, creating a metallic finish that looks almost liquid under arena lights. Underfoot, you get ZoomX 3.0, a Zoom Strobel unit, RBR-X foam, and a Cushlon carrier tuned for sharp cuts and quick stops. Molded ventilation gills and an exoskeleton build keep it locked in. Even the iridescent box and dust bag feel game-ready.
Nike Kobe 1 Protro “Work Blue”
February 4, 2026 belongs to the Nike Kobe 1 Protro “Work Blue,” priced at $210, style code IM0541-400. Some call it “City of Champions,” and once you see the details, you’ll get why. The color mix of Work Blue, Summit White, and Metallic Gold keeps it rooted in Lakers history without going overboard.
Muted blue wraps the panels and collar, while cracked textures on the Swoosh and mudguard nod to old-school hardwood battles. Inside, “67–99” marks the years the Lakers ruled The Forum, complete with a map graphic on the insole. And yes, the “81 Points” pair returns in 2026 too.
Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low “City of Champions”
February 4, 2026 stacks the schedule with another tribute: the Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low Protro “City of Champions,” priced at $150, style code IM0583-400. This one salutes Kobe Bryant and the Lakers’ 1967–1999 run at The Forum in Inglewood, when banners kept piling up and the building earned its nickname.
Dressed in Work Blue, Metallic Gold, and Summit White, the pair keeps the storytelling tight. Kobe’s shield logo stamps the tongue, heel, and insoles. A map of The Forum sits underfoot. Glow-in-the-dark outsoles nod to those bright arena lights that once lit up the L.A. skyline on game nights.
Nike Mind 002 “Black”
Nike rolls out the Mind 002 “Black” on February 5, 2026, priced at $145, style code HQ4308-001. After the Mind 001 stirred curiosity, this lace-up follow-up keeps the neuroscience angle but tones down the theatrics. You get Black with Hyper Crimson peeking through perforations, plus Chrome hits on the mini Swoosh and heel badge stamped with “MIND.”
The real story sits underfoot. There are 22 independent foam nodes built into the midsole and outsole, compressing and rebounding as you walk to stimulate pressure points. It feels strange for five minutes. Then you don’t want to wear anything else.
Nike Air Trainer Huarache “Challenge Red”
February 6, 2026 brings back a familiar face: the Nike Air Trainer Huarache “Challenge Red,” retailing for $170 under style code IQ0615-600. If you were around in 2014, you’ve seen this one before. Nike keeps the formula intact, drenching the upper in Challenge Red suede with speckled detailing that adds texture without clutter.
Black lands on the midfoot strap, underlays, and heel counter to steady the look. A lightly tinted translucent red outsole seals it. I remember the buzz twelve years ago. Tastes shift. If you’re eyeing a pair, patience might pay off at checkout.
Nike LeBron 23 “Shut Up And Dribble”
Nike drops the LeBron 23 “Shut Up & Dribble” on February 6, 2026 for $210, style code IH1513-002. The theme goes back to 2018, when Fox News host Laura Ingraham told LeBron James to “Shut Up and Dribble” after he criticized then-President Donald Trump. Eight years later, the message still carries weight.
Cool Grey and Black handle most of the upper, with Metallic Silver and Hydrogen Blue breaking it up. The heel reads “Still Talking,” crossed out to spell “Still King.” Gold hits the Swoosh and tongue. I respect what it says. The colorway? Not my top LeBron 23, but the statement lands.
Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 “Fire Red” 2026
February 6, 2026 turns into a Deion Sanders tribute. The Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 “Fire Red” returns for $170, style code HQ2631-600, bringing back the pair Prime Time wore with the San Francisco 49ers in 1994. Not the Falcons version. The 49ers one. Sneaker history matters.
Red nubuck dominates the upper and wraps the midfoot strap. Metallic Gold hits the mesh panels, White fills the Swoosh and midsole, and Black sharpens the edges. This time, the tongue swaps “Nike Diamond Turf” for Deion’s number 21. The field goal post logo still stands tall on the heel.
Air Jordan 4 “Valentine’s Day” (Sierra Red)
Jordan Brand lines up the Air Jordan 4 “Valentine’s Day” for February 7, 2026, priced at $220 in women’s sizing only. If you’re marking calendars, double-check the date because early listings mentioned February 7, 2025. Either way, Sierra Red is the headline.
Pale Ivory runs the upper, keeping things clean, while Sierra Red and Tough Red punch through the winged eyelets, Jumpman logos, midsole hits, and most of the outsole. Red gloss overlays nod to nail polish, and lipstick marks stamp the inside of the tongue and insoles. Subtle? Not really. Memorable? Absolutely.
Nike LeBron 23 “Honor Society”
Nike lines up the LeBron 23 “Honor Society” for February 10, 2026, just before All-Star Weekend, at $210. This pair throws it back to 2009, when a 24-year-old LeBron James secured his first MVP and shifted the league’s balance. The nod to the “Wheat” Air Zoom Generation feels intentional.
Wheat Gold and Gum Medium Brown dominate, with Magic Ember and Wolf Grey adding depth. Textured knit meets suede-like overlays, and an embossed MVP logo stamps the heel. Gold Swooshes seal it. I respect the story. The full Wheat look? Not my pick, but collectors will circle it.
Air Jordan 1 High OG “Cool Grey”
Jordan Brand keeps the Air Jordan 1 High OG rotation tight with the “All-Star,” landing February 12, 2026 for $185. Early info pointed to February 12, 2025, but Spring 2026 is the window. Either way, Cool Grey runs the show.
Suede overlays wrap the toe, heel, and collar, sitting over a White leather base. Black hits the Swoosh, laces, and ankle for contrast. You’ll spot Metallic Gold on the metal Wings logo, star perforations on the toe box, and a single star tucked inside the tongue. Game Royal labels and a translucent outsole finish it. Classic model. Fresh twist.
Swarovski x Nike Ja 3 “Bling”
NBA All-Star Weekend gets extra shine on February 12, 2026 when the Swarovski x Nike Ja 3 “Bling” drops for $235, style code IB6674-001. Ja Morant has already laced them up in games, which tells you this isn’t some glass-case-only experiment.
Nike swaps the usual mesh and TPU for embossed leather, then ices out the lateral “JA” logo in Swarovski crystals. Black sets the base, Cobalt Blue pops on Ja’s branding, and an icy semi-translucent ZoomX midsole seals it. I won’t lie, it’s wild. You could hoop in them. I’d probably just stare at them.
Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4 “All-Star” 2026
Nike brings back the Zoom Huarache 2K4 “All-Star” on February 12, 2026 for $210, style code IR0563-146. Designed by Eric Avar and first worn by Kobe Bryant during the 2004 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles, this pair carries real history. It returned in 2016 without the “LA” embroidery. This time, the detail is back.
White covers the upper with those signature lines, while Varsity Royal hits the Swoosh and heel. Varsity Red pops on the midsole and outsole. “LA” and “2-15-2004” stamp the ankle. I was ready to cop without it. Now it feels essential.
Air Jordan 10 “Hydrangeas”
Jordan Brand adds another women’s exclusive to the calendar with the Air Jordan 10 “Hydrangeas,” also called “Wild Grape,” dropping February 12, 2026 for $205 under style code IQ0388-101. If you remember the 2005 “Medium Violet” pair, you’ll catch the vibe, but the blocking switches things up.
Chalk leather builds the upper, clean and classic. Hydrangeas and Wild Grape hit the eyestays, tongue, laces, heel tabs, and Jumpman. Purple continues inside with Nike Air branding on the insoles. Underfoot, Michael Jordan’s career milestones run across the outsole. Subtle throwback energy, updated for 2026.
Victor Solomon x Nike Air Foamposite One “Westside Beaches”
NBA All-Star Weekend 2026 gets expensive on February 13 when Victor Solomon drops his Nike Air Foamposite One “Westside Beaches” for $350, style code IR2077-101. Part of the Trophies Collection, this pair sits next to the “Downtown Diamond District” Air Max 90 and “Sunset Strip” Air Force 1, each tied to Los Angeles culture.
Solomon, known for sculpting official NBA trophies, treats the Foamposite like art. Black-on-White linework flows across the shell like a beach map. Metallic Gold chain laces add weight. There’s even a printed L.A. map on the insole. It’s detailed, deliberate, and unapologetically premium.
Stranger Things x Nike Air Foamposite One
Nike and Netflix aren’t done yet. The Stranger Things x Nike Air Foamposite One lands February 13, 2026 for $250, style code IR7336-001, and this time Hawkins gets weird. Forget the softer ’80s throwbacks from past drops. This pair dives straight into the Upside Down.
The Foamposite shell fades from Black to Bright Crimson, streaked with lightning graphics that feel unstable in the best way. Penny’s logo flips on the heel. Insoles nod to Vecna. Even the box channels vintage Nike packaging, dipped in Black, and comes with collectible pins. It’s loud, chaotic, and easily the boldest entry in the series.
Victor Solomon x Nike Air Max 90 “Downtown Diamond District”
Victor Solomon keeps his Los Angeles story rolling with the Nike Air Max 90 “Downtown Diamond District,” arriving February 13, 2026 for $250 during NBA All-Star Weekend. Part of the Trophies Collection, it sits alongside the Foamposite “Westside Beaches” and Air Force 1 “Sunset Strip,” each tied to a different corner of the city.
This one honors the Diamond District near Downtown LA. White leather sets the base, layered with Particle Grey suede. Metallic Silver Swooshes and eyelets nod to cut stones, while gem-like textures wrap the mudguard. Solomon’s logo stamps the heel. Gold-tinted Air units finish it clean.
Air Jordan 4 “Lakers”
Jordan Brand lines up the Air Jordan 4 “Lakers” for an early tip-off on February 14, 2026 during NBA All-Star Weekend, with a wider launch set for March 7. Price sits at $220, style code FV5029-500. The 2026 All-Star Game heads to Los Angeles, even if the main event lands at the Intuit Dome.
Imperial Purple nubuck takes over the upper. Black handles the mesh, wings, laces, and heel tab. Yellow Jumpman branding and Nike Air on the back lock in that Lakeshow nod. Grey eyelets, an aged Air unit detail, and a semi-translucent outsole round it out. Loud color. Zero confusion about the theme.
Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared” 2026
Jordan Brand finally opens the vault on February 14, 2026 with the Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared,” priced at $215 under style code CT8529-001. First spotted as a salesman sample in 1999 and teased in an Eastbay catalog around 2000, this pair never hit retail. That changes during the model’s 35th anniversary run.
Black and Light Crimson flip the familiar script. The midsole carries more Infrared than the OG “Black Infrared,” and the Nike Air branding on the heel pops in red instead of Black. Pairs have floated around eBay for years. In 2026, you won’t need reseller luck.
Air Jordan 6 “BIN 23”
Jordan Brand goes full luxury on February 14, 2026 with the Air Jordan 6 “BIN 23,” priced at $355 and capped at 2,300 individually numbered pairs. For the first time, the Premio BIN 23 series touches the Jordan 6 as the model turns 35.
Back in 2010, Jordan Brand introduced the line, stating, “Jordan is proud to announce the introduction of the Bin 23 collection. Bin 23 is a remarkable collection of Air Jordans I-XX3. When the time is right, select shoes from history’s most revered line of footwear will appear in exceptional releases conceived for the true connoisseur.”
Off Noir leather and suede dominate, with Picante Red stamping the heel seal and stitching the Wings. Premium everything. Limited on purpose.
Nike P-Rod 1 “All-Star”
Nike SB times the P-Rod 1 “All-Star” perfectly. Skate shops get it on February 10, 2026, SNKRS follows on February 17. Price sits at $135, style code IQ5648-600. The Habanero Red suede upper nods to Kobe Bryant’s 2011 All-Star MVP run in Los Angeles, when he dropped 37 at age 32 and carried the West.
Burgundy hits the heel and midsole. Metallic Gold lands on the Swoosh and lace dubrae stamped “WEST.” Paul Rodriguez’s first signature model, revived for SB’s 20th anniversary in 2025, now bridges skate and hardwood without forcing the connection. Clean story. Strong color.
Nike GT Future “Metallic Red Bronze”
Nike adds another chapter to its GT line on February 20, 2026 with the GT Future “Metallic Red Bronze,” also called “Copper Egg,” priced at $200 under style code FZ5590-900. You might remember Wale wearing the model during NBA All-Star Weekend 2025, giving the silhouette its first real spotlight.
This pair blends Copper and Eggplant inspiration, shifting between metallic Red Bronze and Purple across the molded upper. Black hits the Swoosh and outsole, while 3M reflective details streak down the tongue. The Foamposite and Zoom Hyperflight DNA is obvious. I like it. Not my favorite colorway, but it’ll move.
Air Jordan 4014 “Ferrari”
Jordan Brand fires up the hybrid engine on February 21, 2026 with the Air Jordan 4014 “Ferrari,” priced at $200 under style code IR2082-600. This one fuses the Air Jordan 14’s supercar attitude with the tech of the Air Jordan 40, and yes, it leans hard into that Ferrari blocking.
Challenge Red suede dominates the upper. The Yellow and Black shield logo hits the side panels. Carbon fiber runs along the midsole, while Black handles the tongue and outsole. Chrome “23” branding stamps the heel. Hybrids can get messy. This one keeps the retro flavor and adds modern bite.
PSG x Air Jordan 6 “Metallic Silver”
Jordan Brand keeps the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 6 rolling with the PSG edition, landing February 24, 2026 for $215 under style code IQ5135-001. Paris Saint-Germain has history with this silhouette, dropping an Iron Grey pair in 2019 and a low-top in 2023. Now they’re back in full height.
Metallic Silver washes over the upper, while Pure Platinum and Oil Grey shape the details. PSG branding hits the heels and insoles. A milky translucent outsole wraps it up. Football meets hardwood again, and this time it shines a little brighter under Paris lights.
Nike LeBron 23 “Honor The King”
Nike closes out February with the LeBron 23 “Honor The King,” arriving February 24, 2026 for $210, style code IH1513-300. This Black History Month release pulls from the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, formerly the Lorraine Motel, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968 at age 39.
Hyper Jade mirrors the motel’s doors, while Deep Royal Blue and Bleached Turquoise layer the upper. University Gold nods to the original motel sign, landing on the Swoosh, crown, and LeBron’s signature. “Equality” stamps the heels. Some debate the theme. The Teal and Gold combo? Strong choice.
Air Jordan 1 Low “Lucky Cat”
Jordan Brand closes out February 2026 with the Air Jordan 1 Low “Lucky Cat,” priced at $130 under style code IQ3460-010. Part of the Shōgatsu collection celebrating Japanese New Year, this pair nods to the Maneki Neko, the cat said to bring wealth and good fortune.
Black leather dominates, mixed with canvas panels and Dragon Red accents. Gold details pop, including a small bell attached to the laces. The tongue features the Lucky Cat graphic, while the insoles read “招财猫.” Raw edges, embroidered Swoosh, and a blue translucent outsole finish it. Quiet flex. Smart theme.
Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” 2026
The Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” returns on February 28, 2026 for $220, ending a 15-year wait since its 2011 debut at $150. Back then, pairs sat on shelves. In 2026, don’t expect that luxury.
Light Graphite and Wolf Grey nubuck cover most of the upper, giving it that soft, textured feel collectors remember. White leather breaks it up on the Jumpman logos, heel, and embroidered “23.” The clean palette made it wearable in 2011 and kept resale steady as pairs aged out of circulation. This isn’t an OG from 1990. It’s a modern classic that earned its stripes the long way.
