A new sneakerhead is born every day, and with the seemingly endless footwear options, we know it can be overwhelming trying to find the perfect gift for that sneaker fan, especially if you don’t identify as one yourself. So if the challenge you face this holiday season is grabbing the right gift for that newly declared sneakerhead in your life, fear not. StockX has you covered with the sneaker world’s best releases of the year.
New Balance 9060 Rain Cloud Grey
Depending on their personality, a more experimental and exciting silhouette might be your best bet to win this holiday season. The New Balance 9060 is a slightly less traditional-looking sneaker, but it’s been a recent hit among both new and seasoned sneakerheads. Presented in alternating shades of white and grey, this sneaker is minimalist in color, but maximalist in form. Styled with a wider, cropped pair of pants, these should be an instant hit with your favorite new sneakerhead. And it’s available for Xpress Ship, so you’ll get it in three business days.
ASICS Gel-1130 White Clay Canyon
ASICS has been riding quite the wave lately, dominating social media feeds and racking up collaboration after collaboration. The ASICS Gel 1130 White Clay Canyon delivers an easy-to-wear runner in an essential colorway that’ll be easy for your loved one to add to their rotation. Additionally, it gives off a similar vibe to last year’s ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 from JJJJound, one of the sneaker world’s most coveted recent releases. At a significantly more affordable price point, this is a great option for your new sneakerhead’s first pair of ASICS.
Jordan 3 Retro White Cement Reimagined
Released earlier this year, Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan 3 Retro White Cement Reimagined was one of the most anticipated sneakers of the year. In 2022, Jordan Brand started delivering some of their most popular sneaker silhouettes and colorways in a pre-worn, vintage-looking patina, a design concept that found its way to the Jordan 3 White Cement this year. The legendary sneaker features tumbled white leather and off-white sole details giving it an aged vintage feel. It’s one of the best pairs available this holiday season and a home-run gift for any sneakerhead. Plus it’s another Xpress Ship pair.
adidas Gazelle Scarlet Cloud White
Between the Gazelle and the Samba, it’s likely that you too have seen the rapid resurgence in adidas’ popular archival styles. This Scarlet Cloud White colored adidas Gazelle delivers an eye-popping take on an all-time favorite. With a red suede upper that’s met with a contrasting adidas 3 Stripes logo and a semi-translucent gum sole, these sneakers are hard to miss. Easy to wear and available on StockX for below retail, these are a no-brainer for any new sneakerhead.
New Balance 1906D Protection Pack Black Leather
New Balance released their original Protection Pack assortment in 2021, kickstarting a continuing delivery that’s quickly become a fan favorite. This particular pair, the New Balance 1906d Protection Pack in Black Leather was released earlier this year and presents an all-black version of the popular New Balance hit. Covered in a mix of black leather and mesh, the sneaker gives off a highly minimal look with subtle eye-catching details that make it look and feel multi-dimensional. This design is finished with New Balance’s innovative NLOCK lacing system. This sneaker is available for below its retail price in most sizes on StockX, meaning you won’t break the bank this holiday season. Even better, it’s up for Xpress Ship.
