For the first installment of Hidden Gems, we highlight pieces such as the incredibly warm Nuptse jacket, the classic Timberland boot, and the intuitive Apple iPad. There’s a lot more to see so check out these hidden gems on StockX that might have gone under your radar.
The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Packable Jacket Black
While The North Face jackets are always available on StockX, products from the brand’s ongoing Supreme partnership usually take the main spot. If you’re looking for all the great features of a classic Nuptse without the often high resale price that comes with a collab, look no further than this 1996 Retro. The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Packable Jacket comes equipped with a stowable hood, cinched hem to lock in warmth, and a 700 fill goose, which is standard for the Nuptse collection. Stay well-equipped this winter before inventory goes down and prices go up.
Timberland 6” Premium Wheat Nubuck
There will always be a time and place to rock Jordan 1s and Yeezy 350s, but when that snowfall hits, you want something that will keep your feet dry. Timberland is just the brand to protect you from the colder elements this winter. The classic Timberland 6” Premium is constructed of waterproof nubuck and PrimaLoft ECO insulation, making it the perfect contender against the snow. And unlike other, less comfortable boots, these Timberlands are equipped with a geometric cone sole and shock-absorbing midsoles. Stock up on the right pair of boots for the winter season, you might even be able to get a pair below retail.
Apple iPad 9th Gen. WiFi Space Gray & Silver
With all the hype behind the new iPhone 13, MacBook Air, and a polishing cloth (not making that up), the newest iPad hasn’t gotten the shine it deserves. The 9th-generation iPad comes packed with features that make it a worthy alternative to a laptop. With a new A13 Bionic chip, apps have become more responsive and have seen a reduction in lag time. A 10.2-inch retina display brings crisp details to the images that you create or the videos that you watch. Paired with an Apple Pencil or one of Apple’s wireless keyboards, the iPad becomes the perfect work companion at a fraction of the cost of a new laptop.
2019-20 Panini Revolution Basketball Hobby Box
This 2019-20 Panini Revolution Basketball Hobby box is worthy of attention, as it contains both on-card rookie autographs from both powerhouse Zion Williamson and future all-star Ja Morant in the set. The Panini box also holds Galactic Super Short Print parallels, some of the most sought-after insert cards for collectors. Lastly, this set is one of the last to include on-card Kobe Bryant autographs, a priceless addition for any true collector or Laker fan.
Hot Wheels x Tesla Cybertruck 1:10 Scale RC Car w/ Cyberquad
You too can own the same car as an eccentric billionaire with this Hot Wheels Tesla Cybertruck. The RC toy car is an official collaboration between Hot Wheels and Tesla, just to please us commoners that can’t afford the life-size, futuristic automobile. The collectible includes working lights and a controller modeled after the truck’s actual steering wheel. The RC car can also hit speeds up to 12 MPH. And if you also wanted the Cyberquad ATV from Tesla but can’t afford that either, this collectible comes with a mini RC edition of that as well. Because the real-life versions of both are too much coin for the average Joe, the Hot Wheels and Tesla collab instantly sold out when it first released. So if you missed out then, secure the Hot Wheels Tesla Cybertruck today.
Telfar Duffle Medium Black
Telfar has been on a roll. Back in 2021, the NYC-based brand released their official collaborations with UGG and Mooseknuckle. But collabs aside, Telfar is still taking over the handbag game with their bread and butter (and Margarine) totes and duffles. To kick off their fall campaign last year, Telfar released a set of black duffle bags that sold out in minutes. This medium-sized duffle is made of vegan leather and includes interchangeable straps that add versatility to the bag. Lastly, Telfar’s classic “TC” logo is boldly embossed on both ends of the bag, showing off the popular brand to anyone around you.
