adidas Ultraboost 5X Running Shoes

adidas Adifom Stan Smith Mules

adidas Terrex Unity Leather Mid Rain.Rdy Hiking Shoes

adidas Supernova Rise Running Shoes

You don’t have to be a die-hard sneakerhead to appreciate a great shoe gift for him or sneaker gift for her, particularly when it’s one from adidas. Our Footwear News editors consider the Three Stripes a one-stop shop for holiday gifting, whether you’re shopping for your friend who’s always making predictions on the next ‘It’ sneaker or a runner who needs responsive cushioning to crush their next PR.

2024 has been a year full of major comebacks for some of the most iconic adidas sneakers, including Gazelles, Sambas and Stan Smiths. These styles have popped up in tons of different colors (the brand’s burgundy sneakers, in particular, continue to trend) and through collaborations with stars like Bad Bunny. The Samba even took home the prize for Shoe of the Year at Footwear News Achievement Awards’ in 2023. 

While a major part of adidas’ surge in popularity is due to its lifestyle sneakers, the brand is also known for their running and workout styles that make equally great gifts for sneakerheads, runners, and gym rats. The Ultraboost and Supernova lines have been staples for runners for years, and adidas has only improved on previous iterations of the sneakers in 2024 with launches like the Ultraboost 5x sneakers. These silhouettes offer as much support as they do style, which is a hard combo to come by. From brightly-colored lifestyle options to sleek running shoes for the marathoners in your life, it’s hard to think of a single person who wouldn’t be amped to see these under the tree.
