When it comes to gift giving, sometimes finding what a person truly wants or needs can be difficult. Either they don’t give you clear answers or you’re unsure if the gift you had in mind would be received well. For the sneakerhead in your life, this can be even more difficult as going for the most sought-after kicks can break the bank while at the same time it becomes a challenge to figure out exactly what pair someone would want.
Well, there's more to being a sneakerhead than just having an eclectic collection of kicks. You’ve got to display them properly, keep them clean, and brush up on the history of the game. Check out our list below for the best gifts you can get for the sneakerhead in your life for this holiday season.
Sneaker Displays
8-Pack Stackable Shoebox And Organizer
Sneakerheads who buy their groceries in bulk or can borrow a Costco Membership card can get a decent deal on high-quality sneaker display boxes. Online you can purchase 8 cases for $75 (around $9.40 per case) while in-store you may be able to catch them on sale for a cheaper price.
Levitating Sneaker Display
If you really want to step up your display game, look into getting a levitating sneaker display. These were huge in the sneakerhead world in years past and often came with a hefty price tag, though this particular one through Wayfair is currently on sale for $115 (15% savings).
Sneaker Cleaners

One of the more popular sneaker cleaners on the market, you’ve probably seen Reshoevn8r through their viral videos (whether that be cleaning shoes or customizing pairs). Currently, you can receive 20% off a purchase of $50 or more or 35% off a purchase of $75 dollars or more.
Coffee Table Books

A great way to brush up your history across the entire sneakerverse and something sit comfortably on your coffee table.
Nike SB Book
The Dunk Book
Arguably the hottest silhouette currently on the market, the Nike Dunk (and its variations like the SB) have a deep history that often is overlooked. Written by the late-Sandy Bodecker, the book features interviews with pro skaters, a first-hand account of the behind-the-scenes of Nike SB, and imagery of some of the rarest Nike SB Dunks. Definitely a must-have for those who have been into Dunks “forever.”
KAWS Book
A major player in the art world as well as the "hype" culture, KAWS has had the privilege to work with some of the worlds largest tastemakers, brands, and IPs. In this book from 2010, author Germano Celant survey's KAWS' history up until that point in time.

While there are no “Black Friday” sales, if you sign up for their newsletter you’ll receive 33% off on your first order.
