100 Gift Ideas for Sneakerheads

From All-Red Knit Sneakers to Experimental Streetwear Loafers

— November 22, 2021 — Fashion
From high-performance runners to chic, avant-garde silhouettes, this list of gifts ideas for sneakerheads is the perfect resource for those looking to impress the footwear fanatics in their lives.

For those seeking performance-focused, athletic models, this list contains a slew of exciting options that are sure to please your exercise-obsessed friends. For example, basketball superstar Trae Young teamed up with adidas to release the 'Peach Tree' basketball sneaker, which comes equipped with a unique sock-liner and BOOST cushion technology. Meanwhile, for hikers, Allbirds released a pair of eco-friendly SWT trail runners designed to enhance the wearers' on-the-move stability.

For the more fashion-forward sneakerhead, this list also includes a variety of experimental looks and bold, eye-catching colorways. The new YEEZY Foam Runner was released in a bright Vermillion color scheme, delivering an otherworldly slip-on aesthetic. Elsewhere, Austrian jewelry brand Swarovski partnered with Nike to release a crystal-clad Air Force 1 dressed in a unique, detachable plastic covering.
