Holiday Gifts For Kids

Everyone (hopefully) has that one memory of unwrapping a holiday gift that made their jaw just drop. Now in the social media and YouTube era, we get to see countless videos that show these moments of pure, unadulterated joy on kids' faces. 

But when the bar is set so high, there can be some added pressure trying to find the perfect gift for the kids in your life. Most people have seen the “Mom: We’ve got [insert item] at home” meme and don’t want to be that person. 

To help you out, we’ve put together a selection of amazing holiday gifts for kids. Be sure to have your phone out when they open them, because the reaction is going to be worth preserving. 

Here are some of the highlights. You can check out the full assortment here.

Nike Dunk Low GS “Panda”
(SKU: CW1590 100)
Some gifts are a clear black and white issue. Case in point: “Panda” Dunks. A proven silhouette, a proven colorway, and a proven head-turner, the Nike Dunk Low “Panda” has been an enduring staple for years. And the hype shows no signs of slowing down. This is the gift for the person who wants a sneaker that can go with everything in their closet.

Air Jordan 4 GS “Bred Reimagined”
(SKU: FQ8213 006)
Even if a kid doesn’t want to “be like Mike,” they’ll still appreciate the grade school version of the Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined.” With the smooth tumbled leather on the upper, this sneaker is guaranteed to attract attention on the playground. It’s the ideal sneaker for the kid with classic style and a modern flair.

Air Jordan 1 High GS “Chicago Lost And Found”
(SKU: FD1437 612)
No kid was alive when these sneakers first dropped in 1985. (Heck, no kid was alive when Michael Jordan played his final game 21 years ago), but the Air Jordan 1 has maintained a chokehold on sneaker culture that even the youngest sneakerheads can vibe with. The “Chicago Lost And Found” is a great present for the kid who puts his kicks through the ringer since they already have an aged, vintage look.

Nike Kobe 6 Protro GS “Reverse Grinch”
(SKU: FV9676 600)
It doesn’t get much more holiday-themed than sneakers based on The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. But unlike an ugly sweater, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro GS “Reverse Grinch” will look great even after the holidays have passed. And while this is a retro style, Kobe Bryant always insisted that his shoes be up to the test performance-wise. So this is the perfect gift for the kid who’s always ready to hoop.

Adidas Samba J “White/Black”
(SKU: IE3675)
Kids have been fanning out over the adidas Samba for years now. But for all the collaborations and special editions, the white with black stripes Samba is still tough to beat. This is the gift for the kid who aspires to be David Beckham or Lionel Messi, but still likes to keep it classic.
