How might the Nike Ja 2 “Heart Eyes” sneakers fit for Valentine's Day 2025?

Following the success of the Nike Ja 1, Morant’s second signature shoe line has also been met with notable acclamation from sneakerheads worldwide. The sneakers are noted with personal touches inspired by Ja Morant.

Nike has previously celebrated the holiday season with Ja 2 editions themed around Halloween and Christmas. Now, a reported Valentine’s Day colorway is getting its share of the Ja 2 line with the “Heart Eyes” iteration.

The Nike Ja 2 “Heart Eyes” sneakers are reportedly dressed in a colorway labeled Magic Ember/ Iron Grey - Pink Foam - Deep Night - Black - Hyper Pink. This vibrant color palette is expected to capture the theme of Valentine’s Day.

The upper is crafted with a gradient effect. It transitions from a salmon pink shade at the forefoot to a pastel pink at the heel. Neon pink graffiti-style hearts are featured to decorate the heel area. The left shoe features regular hearts and the right one has broken hearts, reports say.

Additionally, the shoe features a red mesh toe box, which is further complemented by leather overlays around the mudguard and lower eye stays. A black TPU Swoosh cuts across the midfoot. It brings a contrast against the white base of the shoes.

Subtle pink accents are also seen near the collar of the latest "Heart Eyes" edition of the Nike Ja 2 sneakers. The sock liner and tongue branding have been sported with black details. These details add a contrast against the otherwise colorful design.

The midsole of the Ja 2 “Heart Eyes” sneakers extends the love-inspired theme with pink and white foam. It is expected to offer responsive cushioning for the comfort of the wearer. Beneath it is a rubber outsole. With all these details, the upcoming sneakers are anticipated to align with this year's Valentine's Day well.

Nike presents the Ja 2 sneaker line on its official website, stating:

"Ja puts in the work to be great so he can be at his best when the game's on the line. It works with Air Zoom cushioning to help keep him fresh when he's in the lab. And the tractor tire-inspired traction helps him change direction with ease. Ja’s about that grind. Are you?"
