Choose an easy-to-wear style

When in doubt, steer clear of very colorful sneakers, bold prints, or overly chunky silhouettes. Instead, go for a well-known model in a neutral color like white, black, gray, or beige.

These shades pair easily with jeans, wide-leg pants, a dress, or a more streetwear-inspired outfit.

The Nike Air Force 1

The Nike Air Force 1 is definitely one of the easiest sneakers to gift. Its timeless design transcends trends and works with a wide range of styles.

The white version remains a safe bet. Simple and versatile, it can be worn all year round, by both women and men.

The Nike Dunk Low

With its low profile and streetwear style, the Nike Dunk Low is also an excellent choice.

To reduce the risk, go for a neutral colorway, such as a mix of black and white, grey, or beige. The famous Nike Dunk Low Panda is particularly easy to pair with your everyday outfits.

The Adidas Samba

For someone who appreciates retro, minimalist looks, the Adidas Samba is a very good option.

Its slim shape pairs easily with straight-leg jeans, wide-leg trousers or a skirt. White, black or beige styles are the safest to gift when you’re not entirely sure of the recipient’s exact preferences.

The New Balance 530

The New Balance 530 is perfect for anyone whose top priority is comfort.

Inspired by retro running shoes, it adds a sporty touch to any outfit while still being easy to wear. The white, grey or silver versions are especially versatile.

The Air Jordan 1 Low

For a slightly more streetwear look, you can go for a Air Jordan 1 Low.

Less bulky than a high-top pair, it keeps Jordan’s iconic codes while being perfectly suited to everyday wear. Once again, neutral colorways are the easiest to gift.

How to choose the right color?

If you’re not sure what the person likes, go for:

  • white for a timeless pair;
  • black for a low-key, easy-care sneaker;
  • grey for a sleek, modern look;
  • Beige for a soft, minimalist outfit.

Avoid very bright colors, unless you know the person likes wearing standout pieces.

Don't forget the shoe size

Before you order, try to discreetly check the recipient’s shoe size. You can look at the label on a pair they wear regularly or ask someone close to them.

Sizing can vary between brands and models, so we recommend checking a size guide before making your choice.

The gift card when you don’t want to take any chances

Not sure about their style or shoe size? The Limited Resell gift card is still the safest option.

The recipient will be able to choose their favorite model, color, and size from the different collections available on Limited Resell.

So, which sneakers should you choose?

The easiest models to give as gifts are:

  • the Nike Air Force 1;
  • the Nike Dunk Low;
  • the Adidas Samba;
  • the New Balance 530;
  • the Air Jordan 1 Low.

By choosing a timeless silhouette and a neutral color, you greatly increase your chances of picking something they’ll love. And if you’re unsure, a gift card lets the recipient choose their dream pair themselves.
