If you’ve got a long shopping list, or just don’t know what to get everyone on your list, the best thing to do is rely on a classic. When all else fails, there are certain pieces, certain brands, certain styles, that will be loved and appreciated no matter who the recipient is, and we brought all those choices together just for you. Whether you’re shopping for a new boo, a longtime collector, or a sibling who’s just getting interested in all the things StockX has to offer, these are all the classic choices that are perfect for anyone at any time.
Air Jordan 1 Bred
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: when it comes to the classics, the Air Jordan 1 Bred will always be at the top of the list. The colorway that inspired a movement and launched an industry on the sneaker that set the stage for Michael Jordan’s legacy and ushered in the era of monetizing athletics into a commodity, the Air Jordan 1 Bred is as much a part of history as it is a closet staple. In footwear, black, red, and white are the neutral colors and any collection that doesn’t already include the Bred 1s is incomplete. You cannot go wrong with the Bred 1s.
Air Jordan 11 Playoffs Bred
What the Bred 1s started, the Air Jordan 11 Breds, aka “Playoffs”, cemented. Released 11 years after the first Jordan 1s, by the time Jordan Brand had made its way to the 11s, the sport, industry, and sneakers had all evolved, but Michael Jordan’s supremacy was still unchallenged. The iconic blend of black, red, and white appeared yet again, this time on the patent leather prize of the Jordan 11. While the more developed look of the Jordan 11 won’t fit any fit, the elements that make it a classic wallow for unprecedented latitude.
Telfar Shopping Bag Medium Black
While Telfar is relatively new and has only started to skyrocket recently, the look of the Telfar bag is already a classic. While the logo takes up most of the space on the tonal bag, what we’re looking at is the accessibility of an all-black (or gold, or red, or any other color) bag at accessible prices. Not only can you get a color to match whatever you’re wearing or carrying, but you can also afford to get all those different bags. The vegan leather and American design prove that anyone with a Telfar in tow is in the know.
FEAR OF GOD ESSENTIALS 3D Silicon Applique Pullover Hoodie Dark Slate
What’s going to make this holiday season bearable is remaining as comfortable as possible, and to make that happen we’re all going to need as many cozy hoodies as we can fit in our closets until they’re bursting. The FEAR OF GOD ESSENTIALS Pullover Hoodie has earned fans the world over thanks to its fit and materials, and the tonal application of the branding on this Dark Slate color means that you can be comfortable without becoming a walking billboard. We want you to be the center of attention, and this will keep you comfortable in the spotlight.
Air Jordan 11 Concord
If you only awoke to sneaker culture in the last decade, that’s okay. You’re late, but that’s okay! For many, the first time they realized the power of sneaker culture was during the 2011 Holiday release of the Air Jordan 11 Concord that inspired fervent interest, mind-blowingly long lines, and more than a fight or two. In the intervening years, the Concord has maintained the same thirst-inspiring prestige but the state of resale has changed, and now you can get the 2011 pairs, or the more recent 2018 pairs, by just sitting at home and being patient. It just takes a couple of clicks.
Apple Watch Series 6 GPS + Cellular 44mm Space Gray
The Apple Watch is the perfect tool to make it through the holidays, whether you’re social distancing or not. Before New Years’ hits, we’re all spending a little more time being sedentary and eating maybe more than we should, but strapping on the Apple Watch earlier means you can get a baseline so when you’re ready for your resolutions to kick into shape you can enjoy the differences. Even if you never make it to a New You in the New Year, an Apple Watch is a slick way to keep time and access all your messages without the unfriendly faux pas of pulling out your phone.
Jordan 4 Retro Bred
You have got to be tired of us talking about the Air Jordan 4s in Bred. We bring them up whenever there’s a chance to talk about classic footwear because they’re core to any sneaker collection that’s supposed to be serious. Like the rest of the classics on this list, there’s no way to have too many pairs of these kicks that are always in style and always ready to elevate any look. Nothing sets the holidays off like a crispy new pair of kicks, and you know Bred 4s will always be an optimum choice.
Eric Emanuel x BAPE EE Basic Short Red
For those that have been socially distancing and staying true to the suggested guidelines to keep everyone safe during everything that’s made 2020 2020, the holiday mornings are not going to feel much different from any other, so it’s worth investing in a little treat. The Eric Emanual x BAPE Basic Short in Red might be the perfect treat for the perfect day at home. Dubbed “The Best Shorts In The World” this collaborative take on Eric Emanuel’s Basic single-layer mesh shorts takes the BAPE star logo and applies it in a trio of reds for a festive and comfortable way to lounge straight through the holidays.
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Black
adidas’ Yeezy Boost 350 was the first adidas Yeezy to ever be widely available (those 750s just never really made it to most people) and the V2 has gone even further, and while dozens of colorways have made their way to every corner of the planet, none have gone further than the Black V2s. And that’s totally warranted! With the blend of comfortable wearability, athletic inspiration, and a completely neutral look, the Black V2s can go anywhere with anything and fit right in. You can’t miss with these.
KAWS Holiday Space Figure Silver
2020’s unique situation means that we’re not going to strolling down busy city sidewalks, but the nostalgia is as rich and deep as any other year, as long as we allow it to be. If you’re looking for ann appropriate facsimile for silver bells inside your own home, you can’t do much better than KAWS’ Holiday Space Figure in Silver. Truly, if you want to go all the way, the full trio will glisten from the mantle any season, but the Silver take gives us the most holiday cheer. And whether you take the Figure’s pose to be one of excitement or weariness, it’s all appropriate for this wonderful time of year.
Kith x Looney Tunes Bugs Plush
If there are kids in the house, a stuffed animal on any holiday morning is an absolute necessity. Luckily, streetwear has recently started to take notice and we’re getting nicer and better plushes every year. At the height of the summer, while everyone was staying at home catching up on new TV or rewatching classic favorites, Kith teamed up with Looney Tunes to release a bevy of products including this well-dressed version of Bugs Bunny. It’s a new look for the rascally rabbit, but it’s never too early to instill sartorial ingenuity on any budding hypebeast.
Air Jordan 12 Black University Gold
The Air Jordan 12 Black / University Gold is a 2020 classic, even if it’s never been called a classic before. That’s okay! We’re here for it. Yellow and black is a color combination that makes us buzz with excitement, but isn’t a color combination we see a lot on footwear. The street just never showed a lot of love for yellow in the past and we’re glad it’s happening now. Having dropped in full family sizing, you can grab some gold for everyone in your life from the tiniest tot to the grands.
Gucci Signature Leather Card Holder GG (5 Card Slot) Black
While anything with the Gucci logo is an automatic classic, you cannot do better than black smooth leather with the logo debossed over and over like a tessellation. This 5 Card Slot wallet is not only beautiful and luxe, the price is absolutely unbeatable. It’s almost impossible to find a high fashion wallet for less than $300, so the amounts that this wallet is currently being traded at will blow your mind. Don’t miss out.
Supreme Santa Ornament Red
We’re not going to try to push anything on you that feels outside of your experience, but even if Christmas isn’t your holiday this Santa Ornament from Supreme is just too great to turn down. We love cultural classics that get streetwear makeovers, and what could be a better example of this phenomenon than a blown glass Santa holding Supreme’s Box Logo and then absolutely dusted with glitter? Even if you don’t have a tree, there are plenty of places to hang a Supreme Santa Ornament: a hanging plant, a bookcase, even as a massive bauble earring. The possibilities aren’t endless, but… there’s a lot of them.
Supreme Box Logo Crewneck FW18 Ash Grey
One of the core ironies of the iconic look of Supreme’s Box Logo is that it’s very rare to see it in the ways that Supreme markets it the most: a red logo on a neutral base. Almost invariably, Supreme adds a unique flourish, texture, or bold color to keep that classic look as rare as possible. but the Supreme Box Logo Crewneck in Ash Grey is the most accessible way to get that look and keep it in your closet for any time of year. We love this sweatshirt for any fan of the brand, or anyone who considers themselves a collector. It has all the heritage with enough restraint to make it the right choice every time.
Supreme x New Era Box Logo Beanie FW18 Heather Grey
Supreme’s Box Logo is one of the biggest flexes of them all, not just because almost every piece that has the logo ends up being insanely expensive, but also because it’s recognizable the world over (Thanks Barbara Kruger!). But if you’re headed out into the cold rocking a Box Logo, it’s probably getting covered up by outer layers. Enter the Supreme x New Era Box Logo Beanie. This hat lets you keep that iconic Box Logo front and center while keeping the heat locked in against the wind. All the flex, none of the shivers.
Louis Vuitton Key Pouch Monogram Canvas Brown
There’s nothing better than a big impact with a small piece, and the Louis Vuitton Key Pouch gives all the impact of a larger LV piece without the baggage – literally. The diminutive size means that you won’t have to spend an arm and a leg, but the versatility guarantees that whoever receives it – whether you buy it for yourself or a loved one – will get tons of use out of it. Perfect for holding the essentials when you’re on the run, or keeping everything close when you’re going for a run, the LV Key Pouch keeps you on the move, even if you have nowhere to go.
OFF-WHITE Industrial Belt SS19 Yellow Black
What was once a marker of fashion counter-culture is now a mainstream look. The OFF-WHITE Industrial Belt is probably the most recognizable OFF-WHITE piece ever made. Sure, everyone recognizes the warning stripes and the arrow box, but those are elements that are mixed, matched, and remixed on different pieces. But the Industrial Belt, especially in the original color combination of black and yellow, stands out as the brand’s iconic piece that has stood the test of time.
Air Jordan 13 Flint
We’re not going to lie, if we had to put together a list of certified classic sneakers just last year, the Air Jordan 13 Flints would not have made the list. That’s not because they’re not fire; they very much are. But what has tipped them over to Classic Status this year has been the absolute insatiable love for the shoes that we’ve seen on the platform. Every size continues to pop off day after day after day, proving that even if these haven’t been in the pantheon of greatest Jordans ever, the love for them is deep and lasting.
adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runner Solid Grey
The adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Waverunners might not be what pops in your head when you think “Yeezy,” but that doesn’t mean they’re not classics. In fact, that’s a good reason to add them to this list. Even ignoring Kanye’s work with Nike, when you line up the Yeezys that have broken through, the Waverunners stand out: they’re colorful, texturally dynamic, nostalgic without being tortured into minimalism. So, while these aren’t the most iconic Yeezys, they’re certainly a classic marker in the development of the aesthetic and brand, and should not be forgotten.
