A basketball outfit is never complete without the right socks, and the selection of Christmas adidas gear starts right there, with packs of socks, Adizero and Adi365 shorts, Elite knee pads, backpacks, and Purechill sandals. The accessories that complete the look, from head to bag.
The sock is the most common accessory adidas on this page, and it's a smart gift: a player wears them out much faster than their shoes. The pack of six pairs covers a week of training. The Crazy Lite Performance and Light models, which are thinner, appeal to those who like to feel their shoe. The AE socks take on the identity of Anthony Edwards' line at adidas, a nod for a Timberwolves fan.
The shorts keep the thighs warm and reduce chafing during repeated runs. The Adizero line, fitted close to the body, comes in men's and women's cuts. Adi365 focuses on everyday comfort, suitable for training as well as matches. To gift it, choose the usual short size of the person.
The Elite knee pad absorbs impacts with the floor when a player dives for a loose ball. It is available in a child version, handy for a young player starting out in competition. Measure the knee circumference with the leg slightly bent, then compare it to the size guide.
The Purechill sandals are worn after the shower or from the changing room, with a thick EVA foam sole and a perforated upper that allows the foot to breathe. For the journey to the gym in the middle of winter, the beanie and gloves set makes a complete gift. There are even baby sandals, for the youngest fan in the family.
An adidas backpack goes from classes to training without losing its style. Check for the water bottle pocket and space for a pair of shoes before making a choice.
For thicker protection, compare with the pages McDavid Christmas and Bauerfeind Christmas. For a cap or beanie with American league logos, the page New Era Christmas has you covered. All brands are gathered on the Christmas gear page.
The Black Friday adidas gear arrives just before the holidays: a chance to buy your gifts in advance. In a hurry? The on-time for Christmas page only shows items in stock shipped within 24 hours, but you can still order early. After the holidays, the sales take over.
Sock packs often appear in the gift ideas under €50. A pack costs less per pair than buying individually. Choose the height of the sock according to their habits: mid-high for basketball, low for everyday wear.
An Adizero for a player who likes a fitted garment, an Adi365 for everyday use. Take their short size. If they also want to protect their knees, pair it with a knee pad from the McDavid Christmas page.
They are worn after exercise, in the locker room, at home or by the court. They are not game shoes. To complete this post-match kit, a water bottle from the Nike Christmas page would be a great match.
The Elite knee pad in child size or a pack of socks. These are two items they will use at every training session. For a mini-basket or a bag, broaden the search to the Christmas gear page.
Wash inside out, in cold or warm water, without fabric softener that clogs the fibers. Let them air dry, away from radiators. If you want a second pair to alternate, keep an eye out for the sales after the holidays.
