adidas Yeezy Slide Glow Green

Nothing says summer down under like a fresh pair of slides, and they don’t get any fresher than the Glow Green colour of the adidas Yeezy Slide. 

Constructed of an ultra comfortable EVA foam for all day comfort, the Yeezy Slide has been one of 2021’s hottest releases. The Yeezy Slide comes in a range of soft tones and neutrals, but we think this Glow Green colour is the perfect way to brighten up your summer ‘fit. Plus, Ye has gone safety first with the outsole grooves underfoot, preventing any sort of wet pool deck danger. 

Whether stepping off the sand or heading out with friends, Yeezy Slides are the ultimate in summer footwear.

2021 Exclusive: Cherry Picked Basketball

An exclusive StockX release with Australia’s trading card OG’s Cherry Collectibles, this is the perfect gift idea for basketball fans and trading card enthusiasts. Each Cherry Picked pack comes hand-packed with one buyback trading card, graded or slabbed in a one-touch case.

You even have the opportunity to pull a graded 1986 Michael Jordan Fleer Rookie #57 valued between $7,000 and $8,000.

But it’s not all about MJ. The checklist also includes some of the biggest names in basketball today. You could cop autographed rookie cards from names like Anthony Davis and Ja Morant, or patch autographed cards from Jayson Tatum, Trae Young, Stephen Curry, and more.

Jordan 1 Low Wolf Grey (W)

Jordan 1’s always hit, some just hit harder than others. And if you’re looking for a pair that can be styled with anything, let us introduce you to the Wolf Grey Low. 

They feature a white leather upper with Wolf Grey Durabuck overlays, a white Jordan Wings logo on the heel, and a translucent outsole. Plus there’s a definite resemblance to the much hyped Jordan Brand collaboration with Dior in 2020 – at a fraction of the price. 

Jordan 1 Lows are the perfect summer sneaker – classic Jordan vibes, versatile, and streamlined. Let those ankles breathe on warm summer days. 

Dress ‘em up or down, go tonal with your ‘fit or let the shoes speak for themselves. Either way, a great pair of Jordan 1 lows belongs in every wardrobe.

Is there any streetwear brand hotter than Jerry Lorenzo’s Essentials right now? No, no there isn’t. You’ve seen Essentials everywhere; from rappers, to celebs and even at your local mall. Why?

adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Light

At first glance, the 350 V2 Light is the perfect crisp and clean option for summer living. The white and neutral palette is timeless, and opens up so many styling options. Superb.

But wait, you’re gifting to someone who also has a flare for the flashy? We have exactly what you need. 

Step outside and these UV light changing Yeezy’s go from subtle to stand out, thanks to the light changing stripe that runs the lateral side of the shoe. A neutral stripe turns into a vivid burnt orange, instantly becoming one of the hottest Yeezy releases you can rock this summer. And remember, it’s always Yeezy season. 

Hot Wheels x Tesla Cybertruck 1:10 Scale RC Car (2021 Version w/ Cyberquad)

Yep, you caught us. We snuck in a gift for yourself, because who knows if you can trust your loved ones to get you what you really want this holiday season. Presenting the Hot Wheels x Tesla Cybertruck. 

Picture this. It’s sometime in the holiday period – you don’t know what day or date it is, you’re just living in the moment. Parked up in the living room, you get a hankering for a snack. You have to get up, right? Wrong! Despatch the Cybertruck to the kitchen, ask whoever’s making all that racket to load up the back with chips and dip, and you’re good to go. 

As a bonus, this Cybertruck comes with a Hot Wheels Cyberquad that fits in the bed of the Cybertuck. Did someone say ‘two gifts in one’

 

Telfar Shopping Bag Small Black

It wouldn’t be a summer gift guide without mentioning the hottest name in bags right now, but don’t sweat it if you don’t know a lot about Telfar. 

The brand originated in Brooklyn as the creation of Telfar Clemons, and is making major waves – for good reason. 

Made from vegan leather, the signature Telfar bag comes in three sizes; small, medium, and (you guessed it) large. What’s more, the brand boasts a genderless design, breaking down barriers and fuelling demand from new segments of the market. 

The Small Black bag is always popular, but with a range of both pop colours and more subtle tones, you can find the perfect gift option and know that it’s just a couple of clicks away.
