We've officially entered the frantic mad-dash rush that is the holiday shopping season. If you haven't already depleted your wallets during last week's sweat-inducing Black Friday sale-a-palooza, then now's the time to get yourself in gear. Not only should the MTV Style Gift Guide help you decide what to get even the most...

fickle of friends and family members, please allow us to introduce you to one of the KEWLest shopping experiences EVAH, Nike's STADIUM MFG store. If there's a dude (or a lady) on your list that is into Nike, sportswear, or customizable, one-of-a-kind awesomeness, then let this be your one stop shopping destination for the more unique of gifts. We're not gonna lie, some of the items in this downtown NYC street wear depot are more for the dream gifts category, but take one look at that bespoke Destroyer jacket above and tell me you don't need to be rocking this with some black jeans and slouchy moto boots, ohhhh, RIGHT NOW.

The Nike STADIUM MFG space offers a more interactive take on a selection of signature Nike Sportswear pieces—meaning, Nike provides you with one of their iconic pieces and you get to make it your own with chosen patches. The store itself has been around for about a year and has offered everything from Brazilian soccer paraphernalia to surf and skate wear, and Nike changes the design of the shop every time they celebrate a new theme. The new seasonal theme—in time for the holidays, of course—is the Nike Destroyer Jacket, an updated version of the wool varsity jacket that has been a MEGA TREND for fall and donned by peeps like Rihanna and Kanye. Nike's version is water-repellant, super duper warm, and lightweight, not to mention completely KILLER and guaranteed to up any style factor a bagillion points. It typically retails for $450, but if you want to customize it STADIUM MFG-style, it's going to run you around $680 (meeeeeeow). Still, if you're desperate for a unique piece and don't want to DESTROY your bank account, the store also offers personalized items like hoodies, tees, and crewneck sweatshirts. Happy Holiday shopping!
