Name a more legendary trio than gold, silver, and bronze. It’s impossible. To celebrate the fact that these two metals and one alloy represent the pinnacle of human achievement, we decided to showcase some of the best and most popular examples of items in these colourways. Check out our shopping guide below and let the games begin!
Gold
From Jordans to Casio and everything in between, these golden items have been standing atop the podium based on popularity over the past year.
Jordan 12 Retro Black University Gold
One of MJ’s favourite silhouettes, the Air Jordan 12 is a milestone shoe for so many reasons. The 12 was the first Jordan silhouette officially released as a Jordan Brand sneaker, the first Jordan without a Swoosh, and the last Jordan to come in a Nike shoe box. The AJ12 marks the turning point where Jordan went from a businessman to a business, man.
Telfar Shopping Bag Small Gold
When it comes to high fashion bags at a reasonable price point, Telfar has been standing at the top of the podium for the last few years. The small gold shopping bag is a world-class choice no matter what you’re wearing or where you’re going. Everyone will recognize that you always go for gold, and you usually get it.
Travis Scott Jordan Cactus Jack Highest Hoodie Gold
These days, everything Travis Scott touches seems to turn to gold. Scott’s single Highest in The Room and accompanying collab between Cactus Jack, Nike, and Jordan Brand, generated more than a bit of gold for all involved. Featuring an upside-down Swoosh on the front of the hoodie and overlapping Cactus Jack and Jordan logos on the back, this is the perfect piece to wear to prepare for Scott to level up and take us all to Utopia.
Jordan 1 Mid University Gold
Jordan 1 Mids represent some of the most popular Jordans throughout the world. From price point to range of colourways, it’s no surprise that AJ1 Mids are on the rise. The University Gold Mids are the perfect pair to flex your current trend knowledge, separating yourself from the rest of the pack. Go for the gold – greatness awaits.
Casio Vintage A168
“Classic” is an adjective that gets tossed around too much these days. However, some things are worthy of the adjective, especially the Casio Vintage A168WG-9VT. No matter what you’re doing or what you’re wearing, this gold-tone Casio will supply classic shine to make you look and feel like a world-class champion.
Silver
There’s nothing second-best about silver, and these products prove it. Now is the right time to switch to the silver standard.
Jordan 1 Retro High Silver Toe (W)
Revisiting the “Black Toe” theme of previous Jordan 1s, the Retro High Silver Toe is another excellent addition to the colour-blocking style and expanding women’s only Jordan collection. This Jordan 1 Silver is a spinoff of the 2018 Jordan 1 High Gold Toe, replacing metallic gold patent leather construction with metallic silver crinkled leather, reminding us that – sometimes – silver is better than gold.
Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red Silver Tongue (2020)
The Air Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red was released in 2020 to celebrate the silhouette’s 30th anniversary. Ever faithful to the original, the 2020 edition features a white leather upper with a silver reflective tongue and Nike Air branding on the heel. Simply put: this is a fantastic retro of iconic sneaker and the next best thing to copping the Fire Red in 1990.
FEAR OF GOD ESSENTIALS Volley Shorts Silver Reflective
Jerry Lorenzo and his FEAR OF GOD ESSENTIALS line brought us some of the shiniest shorts in the game with the Silver Volley Shorts. These shorts feature a drawstring for the perfect fit and two prominent features of the ESSENTIALS logo. The best part is how bright these shorts will light up with the cameras flashing as you stand on the winners’ stage.
Apple AirPods Max Headphones Silver
Your hype music can make or break how you perform. With the AirPods Max Headphones in Silver, you are sure to get the audio experience you need to get in the zone. With their comfortable over-ear design and active noise cancellation, you’ll be able to keep your favourite sounds in and all other noise out. And even when you’re listening to podcasts or taking phone calls with your AirPods Max instead of getting pumped up through music, these headphones still come in clutch.
Supreme Metal Lighter Holster Silver
Carry your lighter in silver style with the Silver Supreme Metal Lighter Holster. Whether you need it for candles, showing love to performers at concerts, an Olympic torch, or anything else that might need a light, this holster offers a convenient way to carry your lighter around.
Bronze
Not just for statues or third place, bronze is a fire colour every bit as special as silver and gold. The following items show that sometimes the most precious metal is actually an alloy.
Jordan 1 Mid SE Particle Beige (W)
As we all know, Jordan 1 Mids are no longer low-key stunners but have become high-key bangers: the colourways are way more exciting and adventurous, they’re a lot more women’s options, and the price point is way better than an AJ1 high retro. The AJ1 Mid SE Particle Beige brings it in look, luxe, and style that lets you represent your love for all things Olympic Bronze without needing an Olympic-sized budget.
Nike Air Max Tailwind 4 Roman Numerals Phantom
Besides the pomp, the athletes, and the competition, the Olympics have always delivered in Roman numerals, and the XXXII Olympiad maintains this tradition. The Tailwind 4 “Roman Numerals” provides the perfect opportunity to flex your love of the games and the use of letters as numbers. The sneaker pairs the standard Max Air branding with a Roman numeral hit that nods to the Tailwind IV’s 1999 debut by way of an “Est. MCMXCIX” stamp. It’s all delivered in Metallic Red Bronze-Sand colourway, keeping the Olympic theme trending all the way to the podium.

The Funko Pop! Bronze Michael Jordan Figure #54 puts a dark metallic spin on the basketball legend. Perfect for Funko Pop! Fans, Jordan fans, and basketball fans, this figure features Jordan in motion in his classic Chicago Bulls #23 uniform. While he was always going for gold, bronze doesn’t look too bad on him either.
