It’s officially time. The hardest shopping time of the year: Father’s Day. I mean, does anyone else find buying guys presents ridiculously difficult? Not because my dad and brother wouldn’t appreciate absolutely anything I gave them (including a sticky note that simply says, “Love you!” even at my grown age), but because they’re kinda set in stone and happy with the things they already have?? And always tell me they don’t need anything?? “Don’t spend your money!” I hear it every year. Yep, I know someone gets it.
So, I tend to take a more practical approach to gift-giving for them, with something fun or personal thrown in the mix. When it comes to practicality, you know my mind goes to the wardrobe — workout clothes, fresh sneakers, a replacement for their worn-in baseball hats…the kinda things they need but probably won’t ever go to the store and buy for themselves. adidas, you’re pulling through (big time).
Fresh Father’s Day Gift Ideas From adidas
Here’s where my heads at: sneakers for working out, sneakers for style, new shorts, maybe a new sweatshirt for everyday. Basics, but not boring, and the kinda thing they’ll find themselves reaching for often and eventually thinking, I’m so glad she got me this. Haha. Easy, right? Let’s get into my top adidas picks for Father’s Day.
BTW — yes, I’m getting my brother Father’s Day presents since he’s a dad now (well, he has been for four years so far), so I’m including picks for him, too. A little mix for all different ages (think: 30’s-50’s), here.
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11
1. adidas Relaxed Strap-Back Hat
If the guy in your life works out in his baseball hats, no doubt they need a new one. Can’t go wrong with a classic adidas hat to go with all the things (working out or not).
2. adidas Samba Decon Shoes
Okay, I loveee these. They’re classic and simple, but still have a little street style to them. For brother or dad.
3. adidas Runfalcon 5 Running Shoes
My dad has a super similar pair of these already (they might even be the same), but he wears them daily for walks and outside stuffs, so I know the man probably needs a fresh new pair.
4. adidas Samba OG Shoes
The other pair of fashion sneakers I’m eyeing for them. This might lean more for my brother, but they’d both like that simple color-combo.
5. adidas Adicolor Classics Sprinter Shorts
Shorts for working out are always a good idea, and any of the colors work…but this icy gray would no doubt be one of their fave colors. 100% recycled nylon.
6. adidas Trefoil Essentials Crew Sweatshirt
My dad is always cold. Repeat, ALWAYS COLD. So, I try to get him some sort of cozy sweatshirt every year, whether for Father’s Day or his bday. And he wears the heck out of them. My brother would love, too.
7. adidas EQT Wash Crewneck Sweatshirt
This one leans more my brother with that retro-esque adidas design + color. Feels like something from the ’90s that I know would give him a dose of nostalgia.
8. adidas Adicolor 3-Stripes Shorts
These 100% cotton shorts are the kinda shorts my brother would wear for everyday (since they’re more of a sweatshirt material), but I think I could get my dad into them, too.
9. adidas Trefoil Essentials Shorts
Another sweatshort, but without the three stripes…and yes, they’d get most use out of the gray. My brother has another pair he wears constantly. They not only look more put-together than a track short for running errands / leaving the house, but they’re cozier, too.
10. adidas Adicolor 3-Stripes 5-Inch Swim Shorts
Because they deserve a new swimsuit to get excited for summertime, and my dad leans more sporty than playful with his swimwear. Simple guys, I’m tellin’ ya.
11. adidas Trefoil Essentials Shorts
The same sweatpant shorts as above, but in black. I’d probably get the black for my dad, gray for my brother (so they’re not too matchy-matchy, haha).
Hopefully your hard-to-buy-for guys will appreciate a little wardrobe upgrade with adidas’ Father’s Day gifts.
