I'm a Shoe Fanatic—15 Pairs That I'd Be Thrilled to Receive as a Holiday Gift
Sponsor Content Created With Adidas
Shoes can set the tone of a whole outfit, which makes them a highly sought-after item when I'm browsing the web. No pair is truly the same, and the shape, style, and colorway can completely elevate any look. That's why it's no surprise that I've developed an obsession with scouring the market for the best shoes to shop for the holidays. Sneakers are the one item I've routinely received (or gifted myself) this time of year. High wearability and an approachable price point are some of the reasons why they make the perfect present. Recently, my search for the coolest sneakers has directed me straight to Adidas, which has an abundant selection of all the covetable footwear trends that fashion people can't get enough of, including Sambas and Gazelles. Here are the 15 pairs I'd be thrilled to receive as a holiday gift.
I've been wanting to try a color outside my comfort zone, and I think violet is a great place to start. These sneakers would add a unique touch to any neutral ensemble.
My co-workers are still talking about the next pair of Sambas they're ready to purchase. In other words, this cherished style is here to stay.
As someone who's 5'3", I appreciate any shoe that gives me a height boost.
This sneaker was created consciously from recycled materials, making it an excellent option for the environmentally minded.
I'm calling it now: These gray Gazelles have major sell-out potential. I'd recommend snagging a pair before it's too late.
These classic shoes are versatile enough for office days and weekend outings.
The matte metallic branding on this pair adds a simple yet elevated detail.
This is the only running shoe I plan on wearing to my winter workouts. Made for performance, these sneakers offer enhanced stability and comfort.
