What’s up people! Glad to have you back and thanks for checking out this gift guide covering one of my all-time favorite brands: ADIDAS!! If you know me, you know Adidas has been a favorite of mine since I finally dragged my booty into the gym about 2 years ago. Now, Adidas is my biggest temptation whenever I walk into a Dick’s Sporting Goods store “just to look around.” Yeah, that’s about as realistic as going into Target “just for toothpaste.” So when Adidas reached out to see if I’d be interested in doing an Adidas Holiday Gift Guide, I was THRILLED. So, I’ve put together this Adidas Holiday Gift Guide to help you shop gifts for Adidas lovers.
This post lets you shop according to your preferred style. Shop styles for Sporty Babe (athletic wear), Comfy and Chic (loungewear), and Trendy Fashionista (trending styles!).

Sporty Babe Gift Items
What the Sporty Babe style looks like
These gifts for Adidas lovers were chosen based on their comfort level and ability to be worn for daily wear AND during an intense workout session. I don’t know about y’all, but there are days when I leave the house in my workout clothes, do the workout, aaaaand then don’t get home until like 9 o’clock at night (still wearing my original workout outfit). So if you’re looking for an athleisure wear outfit that can be worn on a Starbucks run just as easily as it can be worn during your leg day workout or HIIT session, this is the category for you. The Sporty Babe style lets you rock your workout looks on the daily–if you’re gonna be hitting the gym that much, you might as well pick clothes that make you feel as beautiful and strong as you are.
Sporty Babe Shoes
The NMD_R1 shoes are a must-have for all the sporty and fitness lifestyle women out there! Both the Cloud Whites and the Black & Metallics have cushioned midsoles to keep your feet comfortable during your long days of working out, work, errands, and the general ruling-of-the-world you’ve got going on. I love their clean design, and the fact that they’re built with so much comfort in mind. These shoes are advertised as having fantastic energy return thanks to the Boost responsive cushioning. Basically, the NMD_R1 shoes are the footwear for the go-getters, so go do what ya gotta do.
Try it: You can even wear them to work! Just pair them with a pair of dark-washed skinny jeans and a blazer for a sophisticated yet sporty look.
Sporty Babe Bottoms
I chose the Believe This 2.0 Sport Hack 7/8 Tights for their unique design, mesh panels for ventilation, and their high-rise fit. You’ll rarely catch me wearing anything but high-rise leggings these days. They’re super flattering (my way of saying “they hide my side squishes”), look great with the many crop tops I’ve made out of old t-shirts, and I don’t have to worry when I’m squatting or bending over during my workouts.
The Believe This 2.0 3-Stripes 7/8 Tights are another favorite of mine in this category. Basically all the Adidas leggings would make great gifts for Adidas lovers. But I especially love the classic Adidas 3 stripes, and of course, the high rise fit. These might be a bit more cost effective in comparison to the Sport Hack leggings, but equally as flattering and attractive!
For the warmer days, the Adidas Pacer 3-Stripes Woven Hack 3-Inch Shorts are the way to go. Personally, I’m not always feeling confident enough to go out in just spanx or volleyball shorts, since those tend to be skin-tight. The Pacer 3-Stripe shorts might be a good option if you feel the same. They’re made with a stretchy, woven fabric and are designed to not fit too snuggly, while also not being baggy or oversized. Plus, the band around the waist adds a cute and trendy touch that lets you show off the fact that you’re part of the “3 Stripe Life.”
Sports Bras
The All Me 3-Stripes Mesh Bra stood out to me immediately with its cute and breathable mesh paneling. This sports bra is gonna be best for the low-impact activities like pilates, yoga, and barre. It’s so cute though, you could use it for a stylish walking-your-dog, out-and-about look. I would definitely suggest wearing this sports bra by itself–it’s so stylish it’s basically its own shirt. This sports bra deserves to be shown off. And come to think of it, so do you!
Side note here: If you’re not quite ready to bare your stomach to the world and just wear a sports bra, I hear you. I’ve literally never gone out just wearing leggings and a sports bra for a workout. But, the tough truth is that a lot of times, as we get older, we look back on our lives and wish we’d kinda pushed it a bit more. We wish we had just loved ourselves enough to do what we really wanted to do, instead of letting a lack of confidence dictate our every decision.
This isn’t a push for you to buy the sports bra–like I said before, I get nooo $$$ out of anything you buy from this post. Instead, I just want to remind you that you’re beautiful and you should never let your weight or body fat percentage stop you from living (or dressing) the way you want.
Sporty Babe Tops
First off, I’m always going to promote hoodies. I LOVE hoodies. In San Diego, it tends to be warm enough that all my hoodies are usually hibernating in my closet until about October, if I’m lucky. But that doesn’t stop me from needlessly buying more. The Adidas Cropped Hoodie is cute, laid-back, and the perfect addition to your crop top closet.
The Adidas Holiday Tee in black is everything I love in athletic clothing: it’s functional for workouts, it’s cute enough to wear on the daily, and breathable while not being baggy. It’s casual, but with a shimmery logo, it has just the right amount of glam and flair. The balance of athleticism with style makes these T’s perfect gifts for Adidas lovers.
Comfy & Chic Gift Items

What the Comfy & Chic style looks like
These Comfy & Chic Adidas gift ideas are centered on loungewear, cozy and cuddly vibes, and all around chillin’. The cool mornings, the lazy Sunday afternoons, the should-have-been-dressed-by-noon-but-I’m-not days. You know the ones. If we’ve gotta shelter in-doors these days, a cozy closet full of comfy favorites might be just the thing to cheer us up.
Comfy & Chic Slides
Okay, these Adidas Adilette Slides are just TOO FUN to not include in this list of holiday gifts for Adidas lovers! Give the gift of individuality with these bad boys, because this unique design and color scheme will definitely have your loved one (or yourself) standing out in a crowd of your run-of-the-mill, black slides-wearing peeps.
Try it: Slip these slides on when you’re heading out to the pool, or rock them with some plain black sweatpants for an extra pop of color.
Comfy & Chic Bottoms
These bottoms are all about comfort and style. 3-Stripes Tights are perfect for a chic and no-fuss look. They’re incredibly comfortable, but the fitted look keeps them from looking too relaxed, making them a good option for quick errands, too.
The Adidas Boucelette Pants are gender neutral, and as most women who’ve ever stolen a pair of sweats from their boyfriend (or brother or guy friend) know, that baggy, plush material is to DIE for. These sweatpants are made for your comfort, and will make an amazing gift for anyone who leans toward a more relaxed fit of loungewear.
And of course, we can’t have a loungewear section without including the Adidas by Stella McCartney Sweat Pants. These look similar to joggers, and have tight fitted cuffs, as well as every girl’s dream–POCKETS. Because how are you supposed to lounge in complete serenity when you’re distracted by the injustice of the lack of pockets in women’s clothing?
Trick question. You can’t. (But with these pockets-included-sweats, you totally can.)
Try it: Keep it casual with your slides and a hoodie for around-the-house lounging, or wear them on a shopping trip with sneakers, a crop top and some gold accent jewelry.
Comfy & Chic Tops
For Adidas loungewear tops, I tried to pick the coziest items that I could easily imagine pairing with joggers or leggings while sipping hot coffee.
Let’s start with the Hooded Track Top. It’s made of a soft, velvety corduroy material, and is slightly oversized for all your cozy and comfy vibes.
I love most clothing items that have the word “boyfriend” in them, ’cause that usually means the clothing is a bit oversized and super-comfy. Boyfriend clothes without the need for an actual boy involved are always a win ; ) The Boyfriend Trefoil Tee is soft and made for a more casual yet stylish look. Sport the trefoil logo with pride, bebe.
The Intuitive Warmth Sweatshirt is extra-comfy thanks to its funnel neck (with adjustable cords, so you can control how much coverage it has!).
The Cropped Hoodie is another personal favorite of mine. I have this in white, and it has brought me endless comfort and joy ever since I received it as a Christmas present last year.
Trendy Fashionista Gift Items
What the Trendy Fashionista style looks like
These trendy Adidas items are stylish and perfect for creating your own, individual looks. A couple of these might work during your workouts, but for the most part, you’ll want to wear these on a day out, or a night on the town.
Trendy Fashionista Shoes
The Continental 80 Shoes stand out easily with their floral design and bold colors. I looooove the flowers on these. The design feels summery/springtime and has a very cheery look to them.
For a more classic, goes-with-literally-everything look, the Superstar Shoes are also a great fit. All-white shoes are very in (as you’ve probably noticed if you follow any fashion person on Instagram), and these have the comfort to go with the style.
Trendy Fashionista Bottoms
Okay, I’ll admit it. It took me a while to get into the biker shorts trend. But it’s safe to say I’ve officially joined the party. These Adidas Biker Shorts are a must-have for any fashionista following the trends, and make perfect gifts for Adidas lovers. They’re functional, flattering, and comfortable. They’re also high-rise, which as you already know, is my jam.
Try it: Pair the biker shorts with a graphic T-shirt and white sneakers for an effortlessly trendy style.
Next up is the Adidas Track Pants. A fun, stylish alternative to jeans or leggings, track pants are basically the best of both worlds. They have the comfort and flexibility you want to get around during the day, and the good looks to maintain (or start) your street rep as a fashion icon.
Trendy Fashionista Tops & Dress
Am I the only one who had no idea that Adidas sold dresses? I guess I spent too much time eyeing their leggings and crop tops. But now that I know, rest assured this Adidas Spaghetti Strap Dress is on my Christmas Wish List. This is the perfect dress to pair with a pair of white sneakers and a bucket hat, to add an ’80s vibe.
The Adidas by Stella McCartney Mesh Top is a great fashionista gift because 1) not only is it a unique and trendy piece by itself, but 2) you get to rock your cutest sports bra or bralette underneath for a fashionable double-whammy.
No 6-pack required, girlfriend. Just wear it and rock it.
Finally, the Allover Print Crop Top is a fashionable piece to pair with basically anything at all. Your favorite leggings, your high-rise jeans, or some basic athletic shorts like the model is wearing.
Trendy Fashionista Bucket Hat
One of the best ’80s-’90s fashion items are making a come back. Bucket hats are fashionistas’ friends once again. This Adidas Washed Bucket Hat is perfect for a casual, retro look. It also has a comfortable, well-worn feel thanks to the heavy-wash treatment. You want to look comfortable in a hat like this, not stiff and rigid.
