Home For The Holidays: The StockX Employee Gift Guide 2020

The season's best from those who would know.

This article is part 39 of 40 in the series: Home For The Holidays

Every week at StockX we get to watch as the greatest brands and creators in the world drop the most in-demand products for the culture. Standing at the center of this neverending flow of incredible release we gain an intimate understanding of what’s hot, what can’t be missed, and what everyone needs to pay attention to. This holiday season, some of the most passionate StockX employees from all around the world are dropping the knowledge to let you know what the best choices are for staying current, cool, and comfortable.

Air Jordan 4 Retro Fire Red (2020)

The Air Jordan 4 Fire Red is red like Santa’s suit but at the same time takes us back to a time when Michael Jordan was on the rise to become the best player to ever play Basketball. The shoe still has the original Nike Air Logo and stays true to its original shape of the ’90s. This is a shoe that every sneaker lover should have in their collection. Always crispy, clean, and ages well.

Dior x Air Jordan 1 Low

Life is a balance. If you lose your grip you can slip into an abyss when you come across a pair of Dior kicks. You can never go wrong with a grey and white sneaker but the Air Jordan 1 alone is arguably the greatest silhouette of all time, and the collaboration with Christian Dior automatically screams money. The shoe is made with Italian leather so consider yourself The Godfather when you have a pair of these on your feet.

Concepts x Nike SB Dunk High “Ugly Christmas Sweater”

Sneaker boutique Concepts collaborated with Nike SB, released Dunk High “Ugly Christmas Sweater” in both 2013 and 2017. These are nice and rare Dunks, the shoe box is pretty, making it just perfect for a StockX-mas gift. These ugly but kawaii snowman and gingerbread man printed Dunks are one of the most epic SB Dunk collaborations in history, in my opinion.

FEAR OF GOD Essentials 3D Silicone Appliqué Pullover Hoodie

Who says we can’t navigate a pandemic in style!? Whether we’re working from home, running errands, or just lounging around, the FEAR OF GOD Essentials 3D Silicone Appliqué Pullover Hoodie provides maximum comfort throughout the day. The Dark Slate color allows the Fear Of God logo to blend and become less visible, making this hoodie able to be paired with either jeans or sweatpants. We’ll probably be in sweats a little while longer than expected, so why not add a little drip to the collection?

Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires Monogram Khaki

If you’re dreaming about a new Louis bag lik I currently am, this is your new IT bag since it dropped last year. The Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires Monogram Khaki combines three pieces from LV’s small leather goods collection into one handbag with an adjustable Louis Vuitton inscribed Jacquard strap along with a removable gold chain. What makes this bag unique is the way you can dress and customize it by wearing all the pieces together or even break them apart and carry them separately. This all makes it the best holiday gift for designer bag lovers!

Louis Vuitton Pouch Toiletry Monogram 26

Happy Holidays! As we approach the time of celebration and giving, my favorite time of the year is when all the Classics come back Rudolph, Santa, Frosty, and The Grinch. What I love about this Louis Vuitton Pouch Toiletry Monogram 26, is the classic and rich colors that remind me of fresh-made Gingerbread men and women waiting to be iced and designed. During the holidays, smiles are everywhere and love is in the air.

Nvdia GeForce RTX 3080

Every couple of years, NVIDIA comes out with something special; the 3080 was an immediate eye grabber. With a whopping 10GB of VRAM, a new Nvidia chipset, and an impressive clock speed which is boostable up to 1900MHz in some variants! As an avid PC gamer, this card hits the spots in every need plus more, solely taking care of Streaming and running 2x 4K Monitors at 144Hz. This thing packs a punch. It can run Crysis remastered at ~45fps 4K at “CAN IT RUN CRYSIS” Settings, (this can definitely run Cyberpunk 2077 for the concerned Day 1 buyers). So get your wrapping paper out because these things are no stocking stuffers and cop up!
