Before you rock around the Christmas tree, spin the dreidel or watch your favorite Hallmark Christmas movies, be sure to snag a pair — or several — of AF1s. Since the 1980s, the Air Force One sneaker has served as an icon first on the basketball court and then in pop culture through hip-hop music, streetwear style and more. These timeless shoes are some of the best sneakers for under $120. Whether you’re playing Santa for your kids or gifting a partner or friend their first pair of AF1s, you can’t go wrong with tonal black or white Air Force 1s, like these always-in-style Nike Air Force 1 Low LE White/White men's shoes.

adidas Campus 00

Introduced in 2022, these shoes are a chunky twist on the original adidas Campus, featuring a thick sole, wider Three Stripes detailing and plush suede uppers reminiscent of the Y2K era. Bold colorways and a gum rubber outsole give the Campus 00s style and function, offering a grippy ride and an effortlessly cool aesthetic. Cop a pair of classic black and white men’s shoes for $110, or delight the younger crowd with colorful choices, like Fuschia and Dark Green, for less than $100.
