Presents for 14 yr boy

Name changed in case he snoops.
I have a 14y son who never gives present ideas.
I've always managed to come up trumps in the end but this year I am stumped.
I've asked obviously, but nil ideas.
Frankly, he's become very difficult.
Sensory issues so very limited in terms of what he'll wear. Can't tolerate smellies.
Doesn't want switch games or a new gaming device.
Very limited re food and drink - think only drinks water type of limited.
Won't read books.
Can't get footwear, as he needs to try on.
I will get some sports wear and pj's, and willing to wrap some money. But how bloody boring. How has this come to be at age 14?
He's used to getting a good stash of presents.
The only thing he ever asks for is a dog - DH won't allow it since death of beloved dog 4 years ago 😡
Help! What are people buying their 14y ND boys?

Does he play sport or just wear sportswear? If the former is there anything for that you could buy?
Headphones / earpods
Sliders / crocs
Books
"Experience day" - a young drivers experience went down well here
Adult / technic lego
Does he frequent anywhere you could buy vouchers for? Starbucks, cinema, gaming etc?
Anything for his bedroom e.g. lights, duvet set?

Thank you MiddleAgedDread!
I've just coincidently cleaned out the shoe cupboard this pm - some nike/adidas sliders sprung to mind!
I'm going to look again at experience days - he suffers from social anxiety though, so that makes things a little difficult/almost impossible
His goalie gloves could do with replacing.
I wish I'd been less inventive the last few years - I should of left some ideas!

If he’s into football have you done a stadium tour at one of the premier league clubs.

Goalkeeper shirt from his favourite team.
As he likes football, as well as a stadium tour, I know that you can do a walk up to the top of Spurs stadium which might be fun. Or if he's ok with heights, a walk over the top of the O2 Arena in London. If you aren't from London, maybe combine it with a weekend away. Lots of other things to do, although expensive!
If he likes animals, a walk with llamas. I have done this with my DD, and didn't need too much interaction.
Football programme subscription from his favourite team.
New phone, or a Fitbit.
Headphones.
A camera.
