The Ultimate JD Gift Guide 2023

Get the homebodies in your life something soft and cozy to chill in while snuggling up inside. Think relaxed silhouettes, warm and comfortable knits, and elevated loungewear they can still wear to step outside. If you’re wanting homebody-approved apparel, check out Nike Club Fleece options, Jordan sweatpants and hoodies, or some comfy Hoodrich staples that are equally snug and stylish. And for an underrated house slipper this year, it’s gotta be the Crocs Classic Clog. Perfect mix of trendy and cushiony.

For the trendsetters on your list who love to change their look every season, we've kept tabs on what's hot so you can stay stress-free. Keep a lookout for Tommy Jeans and puffy jackets for those who love a ‘90s era look. Velour tracksuits also work for holiday parties and lounging alike, plus don’t forget about one of the biggest kick trends this year: metallic shine. And for the fall-back plan, pops of red are everywhere right now, so you really can’t go wrong with a statement accessory in the colour of the season.

Next up it’s the sneakerheads, so of course it’s gotta be all about the shoes. The perfect gift for a sneakerhead? A new pair of kicks for their collection that resonates with their sole obsession. Dive into our world of fresh releases, iconic retros, and timeless classics. From the latest Nike Dunk drops, iconic Jordan 1s, or something totally different and out there. You’re in the right spot if you want to snag something that’ll have a sneakerhead itching to unbox.

Looking for the perfect gift for the adventure seeker in your life? We've got just the ticket. Consider durable backpacks for their next expedition or high-performance hiking boots that can take on any terrain. Essentials like rugged gloves and warm beanies are not to be overlooked either, ensuring comfort in any weather. And don't forget a sleek, eco-friendly water bottle for hydration on the go. With the right gear, the adventurer in your life will be well-equipped for their next great journey. 

Sports enthusiasts deserve gear that matches their passion. Signature basketball shoes from KD, Giannis Antetokounmpo, King James and more will capture the on-court intensity, while New Era beanies and caps let your sports fan tackle winter's chill while repping their favourite team. Elevate their style from court to street in classic jerseys from Nike, Jordan, or Mitchell & Ness if they’re into the retro vibes. We’ve also got PSG options for the soccer fans and Team Canada gear to keep things close to home.

It’s no surprise that trying to keep up with fitness fanatics extends into the holidays. You might just pick up a new running habit yourself rushing around trying to get their favourite gear. Luckily, we’ve got a wide assortment of options that flex and breathe, wick away moisture and stay fresh during their sessions. Stock their sock drawer with Nike Dri-FIT training socks, gift the latest gym accessories for an easy win, or a new pair of workout shoes should keep ‘em training happy far beyond the holiday season.

Figuring out what to gift the person who seems to have everything — or is notoriously difficult to shop for — can be a real challenge. Honestly, we wish you the best of luck with this one. That said, we've curated some options we think will make even the hardest-to-please individuals feel good and cozy this season. Like Nike AF1s, whether triple white or triple black — they go with everything. People love them, and you can't go wrong. Tech Fleece also got an update this year and we have options that are sleeker and warmer than ever. Very functional yet stylish, making them a tried and true staple that never fails.

Stocking stuffers are always fun. Small but thoughtful gifts that show your loved ones you’ve been thinking of ‘em. For this gift category, simple yet effective is the name of the game. First off, who doesn’t need new socks? With plenty of cuts, colours, and brands to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find a winner. Accessories are also a frontrunner here, with caps, crossbody bags, and cold weather accessories as the perfect balance of stylish and functional. Also to note, our own JD Sports sneaker cleaning products are a favourite among staff for their easy-to-use formulation.
