With over-the-top branding, the Air More Uptempo '96 is the perfect pair of sneakers for anyone who isn't shy about making their love for Nike clear. This basketball shoe has been around since the 90s and the comfort the cushioning this shoe provides is in the name. This pair takes a white and black colorway to make the Air logo covering the uppers even easier to see.
Red elements in the sole and on the uppers make a red lace swap a clear choice. Gift these sneakers with a Red Rope Laces swap or for a chunkier look to go with that outsized logo add a pair of Red - XI Rope Laces.
Laces: Red Rope Laces or Red - XI Rope Laces

With a long history of making beloved running shoes, the New Balance 2002R brings modern technology to a classic sneaker. This is the perfect gift for any runner that also appreciates that signature New Balance look. The shock-absorbing outsole and built-in arch support make this latest sneaker a runner's dream sneaker. While it comes in egg yolk and cobalt, this jade and grey color combination is perfect for the coming holiday season.
Pick up the light grey on the heel and midsole with a Light Grey Shoe Laces swap or take the vintage feel that the off-white midsoles give this pair and bring them up top with a Sail Jordan 1 Replacement Shoelaces swap.
