The gift guide for him

Buying for him is easier when you start with what he already does: the run, the commute, the weekend, the morning shave. Every gift here is a best-rated piece, chosen for high ratings from a real number of reviews.

The guide runs from sneakers and slippers to the layers he will live in, a few luxury pieces and the small gifts that fill a stocking.

adidas Handball Spezial

First made in 1979 for elite handball players and now a street-style classic: the adidas Handball Spezial in navy cow suede, with the soft gum rubber outsole that keeps it true to its vintage roots. A gift for him that goes with jeans and chinos alike.
