It might be a little early for snow in most places, but you can still take a cue from nature and get as icy fresh as a field of new-fallen snow. The common wisdom is that crispy white kicks are always the freshest, but it doesn’t have to stop there. Whether you’re bucking tradition with newer white kicks, considering the rest of the outfit, or just thinking about how you’re going to spend long snowy nights indoors, here are some of our faves to match the flakes.

Off-White x Air Jordan 5s Sail

They say cream rises to the top (because it does) and with the releases of the Sail OFF-WHITE x Air Jordan 5that statement has never been truer. Nike’s signature off white shade of Sail covers the entire shoe with hits of black and red, but the synthesis of a collaborative OFF-WHITE sneaker being off white in tone isn’t lost on us at all. A lighter take on the popular OFF-WHITE Air Jordan 5 in black that features the same materials and construction, we love the Sail version for its vintage feel and crispy-but-not-too-crispy vibes that will work right into any holiday landscape.

 

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Sail

Right before the first OFF-WHITE Jordan 1s dropped, Jordan dropped these off white Jordan 1s and if that’s confusing to read, imagine what it was like to experience. While these Sail Jordan 1s aren’t as bright white as other pairs, the supple leather and vintagey feel make them a perfect staple and an absolute no-brainer to add to the collection. While this pair of 1s is far from any of the OG colorways, they’re timeless in their own way and wearable with any fit.

 

Supreme x The North Face Expedition Fleece (FW18) Jacket White

White jackets are a risk, we’re not going to lie, especially because the whole point of a jacket is to protect the wearer from the elements, and the elements aren’t always clean. But this Supreme x The North Face Expedition Fleece Jacket is well worth the risk. This Jacket (that may be the best Supreme x The North Face piece ever) is thick, cozy, and warm, and dresses up as well as it dresses down, making that weird line between formal and casual that defines the holiday season much easier to walk. And while this jacket isn’t exactly the most affordable, it will prove to be timeless.

 

Supreme x Takashi Murakami COVID-19 Relief Box Logo Tee White

If we ever get out of 2020 (likely, but not guaranteed), we’ll all have horror flashbacks to what this year brought us – but we won’t be without some amazing mementos. The Supreme x Takashi Murakami COVID-19 Relief Box Logo Tee is one such memento that was not only a beautiful gesture to global challenges, it’s also a rare Box Logo tee. Supreme teamed up with the famed Japanese artist to apply his work inside of a Box Logo, releasing the tee in limited numbers – as Supreme is wont to do – with proceeds benefiting HELP USA. It’s not every day we see a single piece that acts as its own time capsule, but this tee is a perfect example.

 

Sony PS5 PlayStation 5 Blu-Ray Edition Console (US Plug) White

In the battle for the consoles, the PS5 wins for crispy aesthetics. Whether you see EVE from WALL-E or some kind of future white monolith gifted by our overlords from outer space, the PS5 is the next step in industrial design, allowing the console to be as exciting as the games you can play on it. And in the event that a true snow day happens in the near future, a new PS5 will certainly keep you busy. With timed drops of the PS5 happening from retailers at almost every hour, the only way to guarantee you get your own is to grab it from us. It’s time to make the jump.
