Moving or Not, This Nike Gear Keeps Body Temperature Where It’s Supposed to Be
Typically, the necessity to brave the cold weather tends to coincide with the arrival of the holiday season. From beanies to puffers and heavyweight tops, winterwear makes for an excellent and genuinely useful gift for friends and loved ones. But if your giftee leans toward a more active lifestyle, classic fuzzy garments like wool sweaters or long coats might not cut it.
Athletes, and anyone with a passion for sports or the outdoors need a different kind of winter closet, one that not only looks good but keeps them pushing. Think pieces designed for effortless mobility, often lightweight, and built to handle everything from strong gales to snowfall.
Nike, once again, and, shall we say, unsurprisingly, strikes the perfect balance between sleek design and performance readiness. Below, some of our favorite finds, which make great gifts for both the devoted sportspeople and the street-style enthusiasts in your life.
Nike Holiday picks:
Nike ACG "Lunar Lake" PrimaLoft®
Designed by Nike All Conditions Gear (ACG), the brand's outdoor-ready line, this puffer keeps you warm in the coldest environments on earth, from snow-covered sidewalks to frosty tundras.
Zip it up, and it covers you from waist to the top of your head, including a higher-than-usual collar that shields part of your face, plus a complementary hood for total insulation.
Nike ACG "Lava Flow" Therma-FIT ADV Jacket
How about taking ACG tech to the next level? This jacket delivers the same warmth as a classic winter coat at only 238 grams (8 oz), roughly the weight of a medium-sized orange. Plus, it’s extremely portable, folding down to fit in the palm of your hand. Talk about a small gift with big potential.
Nike Tech Men's Dri-FIT Woven Color-Block Windrunner
Can’t decide between a tough windrunner and a sleek hoodie? Why not both in one?

Boreas is the name of an ancient Greek god of the north winds and storms. It's also the name of this mountain-ready tech fleece, inspired by classic snowboard jackets, that doubles as a versatile streetwear staple.
Nike Tech Boreas Knit Pants
The best things come in pairs. Such as these ultra warm Boreas pants designed to match the hoodie above.
Nike Project F.R.O.G. Men's Transparent Cargo Pants

Nike Air Max Goadome Boots
If they need even tougher footwear, mountain boots are next on the list. This pair of Goadome boots looks like a pretty classic trail stomper, but take a step and you will experience the same level of cushioned bounce of some of the Swoosh's signature hardwood models.
Nike NOCTA S.S.C. Cap CS
A cap is never a redundant gift. It shields your eyes from the sun while instantly elevating any outfit.
Jordan Peak Beanie
Make it a beanie if you their head and ears to feel extra toasty. Make it a Jordan beanie if you want a richer design with a slightly oversized fit.
