Speaking of some new Chuck’s, you can also consider adding the ‘Winter Holiday Chuck 70s’ to your sneaker collection. Released this month, the ‘Chuck 70s’ follow the holiday tradition with their fuzzy candy cane design. The sneakers also feature green and red pinstripes to complete the candy cane look. The overall color of the sneakers make them diverse, meaning that you can wear them during any time of the year.

As you all know, Christmas Day is a huge day in the NBA, complete with legendary battles between some of the best teams in the league.

The sneakers are red with a touch of gold and mint, and features Nike Flywire technology making it the perfect gift for not just for sneaker fans, but for Kevin Durant fans as well.

PUMA came through just in time for the holidays with an all- green sneaker that's a part of their new collaboration with Nickelodeon. Since its debut on You Can’t Do That on Television in 1982, Nickelodeon’s Slime has become a signature calling card for the brand, the ultimate symbol of free-spirited mess and the physical embodiment of the irreverent and unconventional. The MB.02 Slime (left) is a bright green colorway that represents Christmas to the fullest.

Designed with a Santa-inspired colorway, the Levitate 6 is the latest iteration of a holiday sneaker from running shoe company Brooks. Each year the brand releases some special versions of their beloved running shoes in time for the holidays, and these red and white kicks are a great option for the 2022 season.

Worn by Lebron himself during a Heat vs Lakers Christmas day matchup in 2013, the ‘King’ released this legendary Christmas shoe a day later. With a light green color complete with red laces, the shoe remains one of the best Christmas sneakers that James has ever dropped. The ‘Lebron 11 Christmas’ kicks continue to be a hot seller nearly seven years later, with four recent sales on Stockx in the last month alone. 

While not an official ‘holiday themed’ sneaker, the ‘Disney Sport Goofy Shoes’ still remain a great gift for the kiddos (especially those who love Disney). The shoe itself gives off a holiday vibe with its red upper (which features Goofy dancing), and the white sole. In addition to the cool design, the shoes can also be used for skateboarding which could come in handy for young skateboarding lovers. 

While we typically consider Christmas sweaters ‘ugly,’ there is nothing ugly about about the ‘Air Max 95 Christmas Sneakers.’ Also for kids, the ‘95 colorways’ are designed to look like wrapping paper, with a colorful blend of red, white, blue, and green. The ‘Air Max 95s' also feature a holiday pattern, and continues to be a top seller a year later with five sales on Stockx in the last two weeks alone.

Kobe was always known for his sneaker game and historic collections, so a great way to honor the ‘Mamba’ would be to purchase one of his Christmas sneakers. The ‘Grinch’ sneakers were worn by Kobe in a 2010 Christmas Day battle versus the Miami Heat, and are set to be re-released in early 2021. While it won’t be delivered on time for Christmas Day, the sneakers will make an excellent late holiday gift. If however you have the money to get the ‘Grinch 6’s’ now, the current version is still available via StockX

Nike and Supreme have blessed once more with the "Mini Box Logo White," and it is just in time for the X-Mas season. A perfect last minute gift, the shoes are "peppermint themed" with the classic white Air Force design, and red laces with the white Supreme logo on it. Like we said, this the "peppermint" shoe, and a great stocking stuffer for sneaker lovers.

And if you want something the color of Christmas ornaments, New Balance has you covered with their 1300 "Aime Leon Dore," which is decked out in a furry green Grinch-like upper with gold accents.

Another "peppermint" sneaker to consider adding to your collection, Nike Dunks are always a favorable choice for kicks lovers because Dunks remain among the most popular sneakers on the market. This is also a good "transition shoe," meaning that it will transition well into the spring and summer seasons. A good choice if you ask us.

It's another Christmas in Los Angeles for the James Gang, so consider picking up the LeBron 18 "X-Mas In LA" as a great pair of holiday themed sneakers to celebrate. In terms of festive sneakers, it doesn't get any more festive than this as the shoes are dressed almost entirely in red with a smidge of white in the mix. Almost a candy cane, but not quite. The Ice Blue at the bottom adds to the holiday vibe with its "Santa and Reindeer" print, making this an excellent Christmas Day gift for the sneaker lover in your life.

And last but not least, an Air Jordan 4 x Virgil Abloh golden classic, the legendary "Sails." These might not be holiday themed sneakers per se, but they make a great grail gift. This was and still is on every sneakerheads must-have list, so if you can cop for Christmas, rest assured that you will be the GOAT.
