At Footwear News, we have high standards when it comes to shoes. Whether they’re running sneakers, trail running shoes, summer sandals, or winter boots, we only buy and select footwear that is stylish, comfortable, long-lasting, durable, protective, and worth the price. That’s why this holiday season, we put together the adidas gifts we’re buying ourselves. If you own a pair of adidas shoes or any other items from the Three Stripes brand, you know it checks off everything on our must-have list.

Regardless if the person you’re shopping for is an avid adidas shopper (calling all card-carrying adiClub members!) or not, adidas has a wide selection of holiday gifts. There are 16 pages worth of adidas running sneakers, walking shoes, slide sandals, mules, hooded sweatshirts, fleece sweatpants, sporty sunglasses, and more to sift through. For example, you can gift the sneakerhead in your life with highly coveted adidas Sambas, colorful Gazelles, or chunky Campus 00s, or surprise outdoorsmen on your list with the Adventure Backpack or Terrex Free Hiker 2 C.Rdy boot-sneakers. For fashionistas, look to the adidas Nizza Platform sneakers for a trendy and elevated style or a sustainable puffer jacket with minimalist chic appeal. The workout junkies in your life would probably love the adidas Adibreak pants to wear over shorts or leggings when heading to the gym in the winter, while homebodies would be happy to unwrap adidas’ matching zip fleece sweatshirt and patching joggers.

Because the size of a present isn’t related to its impact on the recipient, adidas has a carefully curated collection of stocking stuffers. From hiking socks and beanies to wireless earbuds and small crossbody bags, there’s something for every type of person and personal style. These stocking stuffers may not be the main event, but they will be sure to delight.

adidas’ edit of top gifts is known to go fast, so we recommend you start shopping early to secure these thoughtful, unique, and creative holiday presents. Yes, adidas’ Black Friday sale will be here before you know it, and it will have a great selection of discounted gifts, but the discounts may not include what you’re looking for.

Wondering where to begin with holiday shopping on adidas.com? Keep scrolling! Footwear News editors rounded up the adidas gifts they’re buying for themselves to inspire your gift-giving for 2023.

“I’m newly back into a running routine, and nothing gets me fired up for an early morning jog like a fresh pair of sneakers. Santa will be delivering me a pair of Ultraboost Light sneakers in the Pink Strata colorway (how cute!) for some extra motivation to log some miles. I love that these have the comfort, cushioning, and serious energy return of the standard Ultraboost sneakers, but in a lighter profile that’ll have me floating on the city streets.” — Senior Beauty and Lifestyle Commerce Editor Claire Sullivan

“I’m due for a fresh pair of slides and I’m so mesmerized by the design of the Adilette 22’s. At first glance, they look so futuristic — like a computer glitch — but their design is actually inspired by topographic maps of Mars. It’s an exciting twist on typical slides that I can wear as soft slippers around the house (these will no doubt be on my feet all Christmas morning) or pair with slouchy colored socks as casual footwear. Between their ultra-cool streetwear design, sugarcane EVA cushioning that promises sustainable support, and the Kelly green colorway I’m coveting, I couldn’t ask Santa for more.” — Commerce Writer and Producer Olivia Cigliano

“Every few winters, I find myself in the market for a new slip-on-and-go shoe — a style I can wear when running to my local bodega or the package room in my building. So, this year, I’m looking to invest in a quality pair that’s protective and versatile but also durable enough to last me more than two seasons. When I came across adidas’ Adicane Clogs, I knew right away I wanted to gift them to myself for the holiday season. What stood out to me the most was how minimally designed they were, yet they kept the label’s signature design codes like the Three Stripes. Aside from the sleek, futuristic appeal, they have a molded footbed liner, which will take the pain off my heels and arches, three perforations on each side for maximum breathability, and slightly raised heel cups, which will prevent my heels from slipping out the back.” — Style Commerce Editor Nikki Chwatt

“True story: I bought these adidas clogs last year for a guy friend with hot feet — the type of guy who wears flip-flops in winter — and it’s one of his favorite gifts that he still wears today. The striped detail elevates the look of these easy-to-clean clogs that people love.” — Director of Commerce Adam Mansuroglu

“An outdoor slipper that looks like a sneaker? Sign me up! These comfy, cozy slip-ons are cleverly disguised as sneakers, which makes it an easy shoe choice for running quick errands or walking my dog without having to second guess my comfy outfit in the event I run into someone I know on the street.” — Mansuroglu

“Socks may not be one of the most exciting gifts, but they’re definitely the most practical. So, this season, I’m adding adidas’ Trefoil Quarter Socks to my sock drawer. This pack consists of three pairs of a durable and comfortable blend of polyester and elastane and is highlighted with either a white or black logo design. My favorite part about them is that they hit the ankle at the perfect length, making them look chic and sporty with loafers and a skirt or gym shoes and leggings.” — Chwatt

“I’ve worn my classic white and black Samba sneakers to death this year. I slipped them on for errands in the spring, drinks this past summer, and walks in Central Park this fall. They’re a great goes-with-everything shoe, and I have my sights set on the black-on-black colorway for this winter. Yes, they may be trendy, but they aren’t going anywhere — they even won the FNAA Shoe of the Year Award this year.” — Sullivan

“Every winter like clockwork, I’m faced with the challenge of finding the balance between maximum warmth, comfort, and style. While I’d rather be snuggled up in a blanket on any day of the week, the adidas Allover Print Flower Fleece Jacket is just as warm and cozy. I’m coveting this for those wet and frigid days in January where insulated layers are key. Plus, I love its versatile blue floral pattern that’s perfect for brightening up even the grayest of days.” — Cigliano
