Nada natural
If ask a question, "Are those brand new shoes or are those shoes new?"
"Why don't you save them for Sunday's special occasion."

Natural
Change the word order to "those shoes are your brand new ones".
"Sunday best" is an old expression that makes more sense for people who go to church -- specifically churches where it's normal to dress up. I haven't heard anyone use "Sunday best" for a long time. That being said, it sounds natural...just old.

Poco natural
I agree with the above. "Sunday best" is an outdated term now, when I hear it, I think of old cheesy 50's movies or something. I'd say "save them for a special occasion" instead.
