New Year's gift ideas for the 2020 athlete. Running, soccer

How difficult it can be to choose a New Year’s gift. Especially for those who seem to have everything. Athletes seem to be just such people – they have almost everything they need for their favorite activity. But don’t you know that a runner never has a lot of sneakers, and a soccer player never has a lot of cleats? We’ve rounded up a selection of these and other gifts that a sports fan will love.

Asics Gel-Cumulus 22 Winterized Sneakers

This running model is an updated winterized version. It features a one-piece upper that combines support and comfort around the foot, which will ensure a good fit and protect against the weather.

The sneakers are suitable for runners who need a soft and flexible model for long distances and daily workouts. The running technology reduces impact, makes it easier to push off and improves rebound.

Buenos Aires Hooded Windbreaker

The perfect gift for those who dream of touching high-level sports. The windbreaker is designed by ZASPORT designers specially for outfitting Russian athletes for the III Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires.

Interesting detail – the hood, if necessary, can be hidden in the collar and zipped up.

Book “Luka Modric. Autobiography”

A gift for a real soccer fan. Luka Modric is the best Croatian footballer in the XXI century, one of the most spectacular and useful midfielders in the world, recognized as the best player on the planet in 2018. The Croatian is the standard of play in midfield, because Modric has time everywhere: he, like a conductor, perfectly manages the attacks of his team, and in defense never yields to his opponent, despite the modest size. In Croatia, he has long been a living legend.

Modric’s autobiography is the story of how a great talent through fearlessness and intransigence becomes the face of the Croatian people and his small country. Becoming a refugee at the age of six and feeling all the hardships of war, Luka grew to the level of the best player in the world and performs in the most famous soccer stadiums.

Asics Gel-Kayano 27 Winterized sneakers

This is another updated model – men’s insulated sneakers for running on asphalt. The main features are an updated mesh upper and a more flexible sole for natural foot roll. Such running shoes can be safely given to professionals and amateurs alike.

In winter, good moisture protection and breathability at the same time are especially important. Here, the upper in the model is made of mesh, and the fact that the sneaker envelops the foot like a sock, gives confidence in dryness in snow and rain.

Asics Gel-Pulse 12 GTX sneakers

This model is for those who want to run longer and faster. Excellent cushioning and a Gel insert in the heel help to solve these two problems. And since it’s also a winter model, the tongue has special stitching to keep snow from getting inside the shoe.

The book “Cristiano Ronaldo’s Striking Power”.

The world’s most famous athlete has become a superhero. Ronaldo released a comic book about himself. And you can please with such a gift to the one who combines love for soccer and cartoons. Or Cristiano himself.

I’ve always been a fan of superheroes, and now I’m excited to be involved in the creation of a new animated series. I believe that animated characters and heroes unite cultures and people around the world in the same way that soccer does. So I’m excited to bring two passions – soccer and superheroes – together on this project and share it with fans.

Reebok Zig Kinetica Sneakers

You can’t do in a selection for athletes without so many shoes. Another model for runners, this time light and bright. This pair will likely wait until dry spring or serve as great company for a run in warmer climates. But who’s stopping you from giving this gift now?

The sneakers were inspired by the concept of visualizing energy flows. The multicolored base under the transparent overlay of the zigzag outsole creates a bright and dynamic look. The springy cushioning system literally pushes the athlete forward. Sounds intriguing.

Book “LeBron, INC.”

Another book in the “Icons of Sports” series. And it’s for basketball fans, LeBron fans, or just those who are curious about how to make a brand out of their name and earn truly fabulous royalties.

James has turned his name into a valuable asset and is a prime example of combining a sports career and business interests. “LeBron, INC.” – is the story of the transformation of a legendary talent into a sports icon with a business empire under his belt.

adidas X Ghosted.1 cleats.

We haven’t forgotten about those who can’t imagine their lives without soccer. Among your acquaintances there are probably such people. Or maybe it’s you yourself? Then add this gift to your Wishlist.

Lightweight high-pile turf cleats will make an athlete faster and even faster, as the manufacturers assure. And we believe. The model has an elevated toe, as on sprint cleats, and a springy carbon plate in the sole – it enhances pushing off during sudden accelerations. The lightweight, low-top upper fits snugly around the foot. The ankles are kept free, so you can speed up without interference.
