Sneaker Care Must-Haves

True sneaker enthusiasts take great care of their collections. Sneakers are meant to be worn, so quality cleaning products are the perfect go-to gift to help keep their favorite kicks looking brand new.

For cleaning, the Jason Markk or Crep Protect cleaning kits are among the most popular options. These comprehensive care kits include everything your sneakerhead will need to clean and maintain their collection. Gifting specialized sneaker cleaning kits shows you support and understand what goes into keeping their prized sneakers in top condition.

For winter birthdays or holiday sneaker gifts, consider giving some extra protection. Waterproof sprays or stain repellent coatings help protect shoes from the elements. Sneaker shields and crease protectors can also preserve the original shape of a sneaker and protect it from creasing or fading.

Display & Storage Upgrades

Many fans also like to display their sneakers, so clear sneaker display cases or sneaker storage shelves are popular gifts for collectors. Choose clear sneaker boxes that open in front for easy access. This way, they can both display and wear their collection.

If they have all the storage they need, consider getting them some accent decor to complement their collection. Sneaker art décor gifts might include branded shoeboxes with cool designs, art prints featuring their favorite sneakers or decorative trinkets like keychains, candles or figurines. Consider their personal style when deciding what unique sneaker art or décor is worth gifting. Are their displays rooted in streetwear style? Do they have a cleaner, more minimalist setup? Do they prefer display boxes or shelves for storing their collection? These can help guide you to the best gift for your shoe collector.

Merch, Accessories & Gift Cards

If your sneakerhead has all the cleaning and storage supplies they need, or you want to get them something more fun than functional, consider getting them merch or accessories representing their favorite kicks.

Branded merchandise such as Jordan socks, Nike caps or t-shirts featuring their favorite sneaker’s logo are all popular shoe collector gifts. You can also help them style their favorite sneaker with creative socks, accessories or other affordable sneaker gear. Themed sneaker charms, unique laces and fun sock designs all add personal style when they wear their kicks around town.

And if your sneaker collector already has all the sneaker collection essentials, you can’t go wrong with a gift card. These make great gifts for shoe collectors because they allow them to choose what they want most. They can even use the gift card weeks or months later to snag a coveted drop or invest in premium sneaker upgrades.
