5 Best Christmas Sneakers of All Time
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell drops! The holiday season has blessed us with some incredible Christmas-themed sneaker releases, and I had to round up my favorites for you. From icy white kicks that make you feel like you're walking through a winter wonderland to candy-cane reds, Grinch greens, and everything in between, I’ve got a solid list of must-have festive sneakers. Check them out and get ready to step into the season dripping holiday swag!
1. Nike LeBron XIII 'Christmas'
These might not scream Christmas in the traditional red-and-green sense, but they’re easily my top pick for the season. The icy white and blue snowflake design captures those winter wonderland vibes perfectly, making them versatile enough to rock all winter long—not just during the holidays. If you’ve read any of my other work (like my best casual sneakers blog), you know I’m a sucker for clean white sneakers, so it’s no surprise these take the crown for me!
2. Nike Kobe 6 ‘Grinch’
Up next, we’ve got to give it up for the iconic Kobe Grinches. These vibrant green sneakers are easily one of the most popular Christmas-themed kicks ever dropped. Nike even included a matching Grinch cleat in the collection. And honestly, if they’re good enough for Caitlin Clark, they’re definitely good enough for me!
3. Nike SB x CNCPTS Ugly Christmas Sweater Dunk High
These might just be the most Christmas-packed kicks in the lineup—and I’m here for it. With the perfect balance of festive red and green, plus fun details like snowmen, mistletoe, and snowflakes, these Dunks are pure holiday magic. Skip the ugly sweater at your next party; rock these instead, and you’ll instantly steal the spotlight!
4. Nike SB Dunk Low 'Candy Cane'
If you’re not here to play games and want to make it clear you’re ready to deck the halls, the Candy Cane Dunk Lows are the move. With bold red and white stripes, these kicks are next-level festive. Sure, they’re a lot to handle, but when styled right, they’re pure holiday heat. Keep the rest of your fit simple to let these statement sneakers shine—they’re loud, proud, and undeniably Christmas.
5. Adidas D Rose 7 'White Christmas'
You know I had to finish strong with another fresh pair of white kicks, and these ones are straight fire. The White Christmas Dunks are a perfect choice. As a Chicago guy and a huge D-Rose fan, it’s a personal win to include these in the lineup.
And that’s the list! Hope this inspires you to show up to your next holiday party with some icy-cold, drippy Christmas sneakers. Let me know what I missed—you can find me on IG @joe_sanfilippo. Happy holidays, everyone!
