Although 2023 is very quickly winding down to a close, it’s still a bit too soon to relax. With the Holiday Season in full swing — and the happiest time of the year just around the corner — there’s no better time than now to get a head start on your Christmas shopping. And while you’re at it, there’s certainly no harm in treating yourself!
 
Buying gifts can be a challenge, though. We get it. So if you’re having a bit of trouble figuring out where to start, look no further than the Three Stripes because when it comes to original, all-time classics, few are more qualified than adidas. From fashionable, timeless icons in the Stan Smith to comfort-meets-performance sneakers supported by the industry-changing BOOST, the German Sportswear brand offers a little something for everyone.
 
In honor of Black Friday, we’ve narrowed things down to some of the best all-black (or close to) options currently available over at adidas.com. Because let’s face it: everything looks good – and arguably better – in black.

In the decades since the the German Sportswear brand’s founding, they’ve produced many a sneaker befitting what “adidas Originals” represents. But even amongst these countless icons, none stand out quite as much as the Stan Smith, Superstar, and Gazelle, all three of which are practically synonymous with the Three Stripes itself – and are a welcome sight to see under the holiday tree.

Being the footwear brand’s premier and revolutionary cushioning solution, BOOST needs no introduction. What’s more, given its use across the footwear brand’s entire catalog, it’s highly unlikely that you’ve never tried the technology for yourself. But if for some reason you or your loved one has yet to step foot in any of the line-up’s greatest — be it the Terrex Free Hiker, the UltraBOOST 1.0, or the NMD_R1 — then you owe it to yourself and them to pick up a pair. Give the gift of BOOST this holiday season; you’ll have converted someone into a BOOST fanatic by year’s end.

The brand’s ongoing efforts to refine, update, and modernize their most iconic Originals has done much to strengthen the legacy of these staples. Some would be too afraid to fix what isn’t broken, but the Three Stripes continue on, introducing offerings that hinge on creativity and thoughtful design. The Samba-inspired Puffylette, the Campus 00s, and the Ozweego are at the forefront of this movement, and are ready to be gifted to the new generation of sneaker fanatics.
