New Year, New You: Resolutions 101

By the middle of January, just about everyone gives up on their New Year’s resolution. So this year, give yourself some extra motivation by way of StockX. Don’t worry if you don’t stick to your resolution; there’s always next year, and you’ll still have some dope shit. 

Apple Watch Nike Series 5 GPS + Cellular 44mm Silver Aluminum with Pure Platinum Black Band A2095

The most common resolution made and broken is resolving to work out more and lose weight. And after the year we’ve just had, there is no doubt that a record number of people are preparing to commit to a fitter and healthier 2021. With the Nike edition of the Apple Watch Series 5, you won’t have to be alone as you create your new workout regimen. Not only does the Series 5 keep track of your workouts, but it also comes ready to connect to the Nike Run Club app for an array of audio-guided runs. You’ll be able to monitor your progress and receive encouragement from new friends from your wrist. Even if you don’t quite achieve your goal, you’ll be able to continue your fitness journey with a cool new community.

Nike Space Hippie 03 Vast Grey Hyper Crimson

Let’s be real: The planet is in real trouble. Unless everyone starts to take our looming ecological crisis seriously, there won’t be many new years left worth celebrating. Resolving to do your part in the fight against climate change is noble and necessary. A major component of making this resolution successful is paying attention to your consuming habits. The Nike Space Hippie 03 is a perfect place to start. This footwear collection is inspired by life on Mars, where materials are scarce. Each sneaker is created from scraps, trash, and space junk resulting in a sustainable product wedded to radical design. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction.  

2020 Pokemon Champions Path Elite Trainer Box

Responsible spending is another popular New Year’s resolution. Collecting and collectibles offer a fun way to buy, trade, and save. Pokemon Champions boxes are a great way to scratch that nostalgia itch and feel adult-ish at the same time. The 2020 Champions Path Elite Trainer Box is chock full of booster packs, various Charizard cards, energy cards, and a dope collector’s box to hold it all. On top of all this, it’s even trading at a modest 1.5% price premium. Open it up or keep it sealed; either way, you’re spending wisely.  

Virgil Abloh x MCA Figures of Speech (Special Edition) Book Multi

In the season 4 Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, “The Car Pool Lane,” Larry David gets high with his elderly father and a prostitute and ends up yelling at himself in the bathroom mirror for being so stupid and never reading. This is the New Year’s resolution that is the voice of everyone’s faded inner-Larry David: Read more, dummy. If you’re only going to read one book, or part of one book, in 2021, we recommend Virgil Abloh’s richly detailed book from his Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago retrospective. With this book, you’ll be able to expertly describe the history and influences of Abloh’s work. Impress your friends and favorite Instagram accounts with all your new knowledge. Who’s the dummy now?  

Nike Air Max 90 City Pack Tokyo (2020)

Learning a new language is always at the top of New Year’s resolutions lists. It’s a great resolution. Studies have shown that learning a new language engages the brain, maintains its elasticity longer, and helps ward off mental decline. To get you in the language learning mindset, we recommend copping the Nike Air Max 90 from this year’s city pack. Inspired by Tokyo construction workers, then AM90 Tokyo’s tongue is a nod to street signs around construction sites, the printed insole features Tokyo’s cityscape, and Japanese characters can be found on the heel counter. We’re not saying it’s Duolingo or anything, just that the AM90 Tokyo goes hard. 

KAWS Notebooks Set of 5 Multi

By the end of the year, things get chaotic, pushing many people to vow to get organized in the New Year. And we’re here for it. The genuine thrill and pleasure of getting and staying organized are tantamount to catching a fabled “W” on the SNKRS app. Just like prepping before a SNKRS drop, you need to put in some work before you get organized. With a set of five KAWS notebooks featuring his abstract painting on the cover, you’ll be ready to get your life in order. And even if things go sideways by February, you’ll still have five fire notebooks.   

Supreme Nalgene 32 oz. Bottle Black

Dry January has become a practice to kick start the new year. This is a great resolution, and we think you should drink more water, too. Luckily, Supreme dropped a 32 oz. bottle in collaboration with Nalgene, complete with a branded sleeve to keep you hydrated throughout the new year. And once the calendar flips to February with the black sleeve on the Nalgene bottle, what you’re drinking is nobody’s business. 

Virgil Abloh x IKEA MARKERAD US Duvet Cover and 2 Pillowcases (Full/Queen) Gray

With each new year, the importance of sleep comes further into focus. Not only does it become harder to recover from lack of sleep, but you start to question the impulse to stay up all night. This year, promise yourself more sleep. The first step toward somnolent satisfaction is setting up the perfect bed. Simple, refined, and classic, Virgil Abloh and IKEA’s duvet cover and pillowcase collab is the perfect way to up your bedroom style. You’ve made your bed, now lie in it. 

Jordan 1 Retro High Zoom Zen Green

Over time, stress can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and anxiety; last year was a real bastard when it came to stress. Now is the time to resolve to reduce your stress level in the new year. The AJ1 Zoom Zen Green is the perfect shoe to slay your stress level. Featuring a black and soothing green colorway, the AJ1 Zoom incorporates Nike Zoom technology that provides the ultimate cushioning experience, making sure you stay nice and comfortable. It might not be a rock garden, but it’s close.   

Oculus Quest All-In-One VR Headset 128GB Black

This year, we all felt the loss of not being able to travel. It was a dislocating and scary experience. Many people will resolve to travel more and visit the people and places they’ve been missing. But we’re still a little ways away from being able to do that, so let’s do the next best thing: fully immersive gaming! With the Oculus Quest All-In-One package, you’ll have access to a whole universe of new sights, sounds, and experiences. What is travel, really, but a way of having new eyes? The Oculus Quest will help you see things differently.
