Most Wantedis a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
It’s no secret that this time of year can be quite busy for everyone. If I can find an opportunity to cross something off my personal and work to-do lists, I’ll take it, especially during the holidays. That’s why, when I started writing this story, I knew I’d be doing everyone a favor (myself included) by dedicating it to holiday gifts.
I have a few go-tos when it comes to gifting, but there’s one thing that makes the cut every year: sneakers. Whether it’s a pair of sporty running shoes or the latest street style trend, my expert eye always finds the crowd-pleasers. DSW is a staple retailer when it comes to shopping for accessible shoes, and its Adidas selection really stood out to me this year. It’s stocked full of the buzziest styles including the Ozelle and Court Sneaker, all made recognizable by the signature three-stripe design. I was able to find stylish shoe options—and even some great accessories—for everyone on my list, including my 1-year-old cousin. (Fact: Kids’ shoes are simply the cutest.) Keep scrolling to shop my 30 picks from DSW (unless you’re a member of my family, in which case, please stop reading).
