1. Air Jordan 1 Retro High Og “UNC Toe”
The perfect shoe for your OG from way back. Like probably that bud who might have introduced you to the sneaker world in the first place. With a luxurious feel which comes with the beautiful UNC palette and the classic feel which the Jordan 1 High brings, this sneaker is a perfect addition to anyone’s sneaker rotation. These will look sick AF when paired with the highly sought “Why you buggin?” Tee from FiftyEight. So go ahead and get that OG friend some blue colour in their life, followed by the tears of happiness on their face.
2. Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Pine Green”
Nothing says quiet luxury like the Jordan 4. A pioneering silhouette, which is truly the best pick when it comes to gifting your cousins and friends alike. And the most special part, it's a good look on all dads around too, so one need not worry about being hip or not to rock them. The Pine Green Jordan 4 features a White frame with Green overlays, which add just a bit of that well needed smoothness, bringing it all together with a gum sole. The Pine Green can also be paired really beautifully with the Swatch x Blancpain Indian Ocean Watch.
3. Drew House Mascot Hoodie “Golden Yellow”
Designed for lovers for comfort and fashion, this Drew Hoodie is your ticket to effortless cool and a perfect pick for the upcoming holiday season. Not only does the striking gold hue add a touch of vibrancy and warmth to your fits, but it also elevates your street style and gives you that exclusive Drew House Brand cred. The thing about such hoodies is that they can be matched up with almost any chunky sneaker. But here are our top picks - Carbon Beluga 350s, Jordan 1 High Taxi and Jordan 1 High Volt Gold among others.
4. Air Jordan 1 Low “Sashiko Denim”
If magnificent detailing is the game, Sahiko is the name. Embodying the Japanese concept of Wabi Sabi, this pair features white canvas and distressed denim uppers with Jordan Ball and Wing logos embroidered on the Heel. Get this for that carefree friend who embraces the imperfections in life with all their overwhelming collection of ripped blue denim jeans. Not much of a colour match, but the shoe can be matched really well with a pair of ripped jeans or cargos and the Ghost Tee from Egg Whites. The vibe is just enhanced if anything.
5. Nike Dunk Low “Chicago Split”
Does your dad or uncle or older brother ever narrate your stories of Jordan’s rebellious Chicago red era? Even if they don’t, they will surely have a memory etched in their minds of Michael Jordan dunking wearing those Bold Red OG Jordans. The Chicago split is just that and more in a sleeker SB Dunk vibe. Whether someones a seasoned sneakerhead or just starting out, this dunk will make you step into a world where style meets heritage. Pair the dunk vividly with the “Unreal Tee” from FiftyEighty and just see your street cred break barriers.
6. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Prototype”
Tread on a journey where Heritage meets contemporary flair and make your family and friends discover why the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG continues to captivate hearts and soles around the globe, this time painted in the “Prototype” colourway. The most unique aspect about this sneaker, which is sure to make people's jaws drop is that the shoe comes with a perforated line separating the collar from the rest of the upper, so that it can be worn as a high-top or low-top if you choose to safely cut the collar away. So when gifting, it makes it the perfect pick for that confused friend who's always debating Highs and Lows. The subtle blue and orange hue on the upper can be paired beautifully with the Chasing Endorphins Racing Tee from Terractive.
