You know what they say, the way to a boy’s heart is through his feet. What boy doesn’t love new sneakers and for 2016 it seems all the brands have aligned and made red and we mean all red a trend for this season. You could name your brand and you’d be spoilt for choice. To highlight this point just searching for “red” on Foot Locker returns you with a whole load of options. We’ve picked out a few eye catching items from Foot Locker – along with some other suggestions – to help you make that all important gesture of affection this weekend.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 2 – All red version of the update classic, timeless can’t go wrong.

Nike Cortez Nylon Gym Red/White – Another classic silhouette enjoying a resurgence. Everyone should own a pair of Cortez!

Nike Air Force 1 Low Gym Red/White – Ostrich leather gives this Uptown that luxury feel, Air Force will be a staple look in 2016.

Nike Tuned 1 (TN) Gym Red – Foot Locker’s very own given the all red treatment. We have a lot of love for the Tn.

Vans SK8-Hi Red/Red/Red – One of Vans most loved models, suede and reded out, beautiful.

adidas Superstar Red/White/Gold – Who doesn’t love a shell toe? Red ostrich leather again make this one pop nicely.

If Asics takes your fancy, then the guys up at End Clothing have got you covered with three versions of the Gel Lyte III. Two of them are returning for a second year and one new edition in time for the 14th the “Cupid”, “Valentines” and “Heart” GL3.

Rounding off the trainers, nothing quite says ‘I love you’ than a personalised pair for the one you love, Nike iD has you covered.  While it’s a bit late to get them on time, you can always print out or save what you have made to show your beau, it’s always fun taking time out to create something on there — just be wary not to loose to many hours like we have done so many times.

Slipping in to something more comfortable, we can’t look any further that the new Nike Tech Knit clothing. It simply looks incredible – the Libero pant and Windrunner jacket are both in stock now at Chimp Store. We can’t wait to get hold of the women’s stuff, who knows, maybe some reciprocal gifting could be the way here. Also available at Chimp is the new Puma x Alife SS16 Football inspired range, featuring jerseys and shorts, we especially like the Flames print. With a major football tournament coming up this summer this is a certain winner.

We are going to finish off with a treat for us as much as him, with some fragrance recommendations. If you haven’t had the pleasure of some Comme Des Garcons wafting passed your nose then you’re in for a treat. With some may lush options it’s hard to single one out… Goodhood London has the full range pretty much – it’s hard to go wrong with CDG. In addition to that, some Tom Ford doesn’t go amiss either, always producing amazing fragrances and look no further than Mr Porter for their current range.

Wishing you (and your very lucky boyfriend) a very happy Valentine’s x
