The holidays are a time of giving, and this season, there’s no better gift to give than the Nike Hyper Jade Collection as part of The Game Plan from Champs Sports. Ok, so in the case of sneakerheads, you’ll probably want to gift this to yourself rather to someone else, but you get the point here—this is one collection you do not want to miss out on.
The Hyper Jade has been one of the most sought-after colorways in the sneaker market in recent years—one that has been featured on many top-tier silhouettes, including the Nike KD 7, Nike Flyknit Racer, and the Air Jordan Future, among others. This time around, the Hyper Jade treatment has been given to some additional classic Nike silhouettes like the Air Max 90, Roshe Run, and Air Max SC 1 Sneakerboot. The footwear collection is paired with a seasonal snapback and knit hat, as well as a variety of Swoosh-branded shirts to compliment that holiday Hyper Jade look.

NIKE AIR MAX 90
The legendary sneaker that originally dropped in an “Infrared” colorway back in 1990 now hits the 2014 holiday scene in the iced-out Hyper Jade. While it started out as a running shoe, the Air Max 90 has turned into more of a streetwear staple that consistently turns heads. Paired with a snapback and a matching shirt, you simply can’t lose.

NIKE TIF/WHT AIR TEE- $28

NIKE ROSHE RUN
Despite its relatively short time in existence, the Roshe Run has already left a significant imprint on the sneaker community. And while there are plenty of cop-worthy versions of the shoe already out there, this one certainly deserves to be included in the conversation. Just remember though, when you step out in these, make sure to throw on the accompanying knitted hat for the complete Hyper Jade look.

The remix of Bo Jackson’s classic silhouette is perhaps the most holiday-appropriate of the bunch. The subtle Hyper Jade treatment will look to brighten up the holiday season, as you’re inevitably faced with the next polar vortex. Something tells us that this will be your go-to sneakerboot of choice in the coming months.
