Sneaker season: massive deals emerge across top brands
April Fool's has passed, but the savings are no joke. A wave of discounts has swept across the footwear landscape, from Nordstrom and REI to DSW and brand-owned sites, presenting a prime opportunity to refresh your sneaker rotation—or finally grab that pair you've been eyeing.
Performance and style: a winning combination
Serious runners, take note. On Running is offering significant markdowns, and the Cloudnova 2, lauded for its supportive, high-drop design, is now available for $115—a substantial drop from its original $170 price. But it's not just On; Hoka devotees will also find solace. Select models, including the versatile Transport walking shoe, are discounted by up to 30 percent. Nordstrom, as always, serves as a central hub, aggregating deals from both On and Hoka, alongside established names like Saucony and Salomon.
The usual caveat applies: color availability can be limited, but our curation ensures that every option presented is undeniably stylish. The breadth of choice is impressive, extending beyond these powerhouses to include Veja, Cole Haan, and Puma. The Puma Palermo, for instance, is a steal at Bloomingdale’s. But let's be clear: these deals won’t last forever. The seasonal shift always brings a rush to clear out inventory, so decisive action is key.
