The 5 Love Languages — Sneakerhead Edition

The 5 Love Languages — Sneakerhead Edition

Feb 3, 2023

Is your Sneakerhead Sweetheart challenging to shop for? Maybe you’re just not speaking the right language — we’re talking the language of L.O.V.E. But there will be no broken hearts this Valentines, Galentines or ValenGuys Day thanks to the Hibbett | City Gear guide to The 5 Love Languages – Sneakerhead Edition.

Words of Affirmation

You know your Valentine’s kicks collection is great, but have you told them lately just HOW great it is? Sometimes a genuine compliment or acknowledgment of the thing your person is most proud of holds more value than an entire room of Jordans, Nikes, and New Balances (metaphorically of course!)

Gifts

You can’t ever go wrong with a new pair of shoes for your sole mate. Classic white-white colorways are solid selections, but if you want to spice things up — shop for something a little more bold like these red hot styles. Or explore other eye-catching colorways like purple and pink options.

Acts of Service

We know some collectors can be pretty particular when it comes to storing and caring for their sneakers, so before performing any selfless acts of service like cleaning up a pair of suede Puma’s with just any ‘ole sneaker cleaning product, check to make sure you have the right tools for the job. Other simple acts of service might include organizing your sneakheart’s drawer of laces or typing up a list of all the styles in their collection for keeping track of what’s in their treasure trove.

Quality Time

Quality time with your Sneakerhead Sweetheart can be fun for both of you — try going to your local Hibbett or City Gear and building Toe-to-Head fits for one another. You pick a pair of shoes for your partner and build a look for them while they do the same for you. Throw together styles your partner might not normally consider, mix and match materials — who knows, at the end of the adventure you may walk away with some one-of-a-kind memories AND a couple of new fits for yourselves! 

If your Valentine is more of a stay-home and relax type — encourage them to take some time to relax in a space where they feel at ease and happy (like a collection closet?!)
