3With Nordstrom‘s Black Friday sale looming, it’s time to take a serious look at your sneaker collection. Weed out the pairs you’re tired of and fill in any wardrobe gaps, because all the insider-favorite brands will soon be on sale. On Wednesday, November 19—a full nine days ahead of the actual shopping holiday—Nordstrom kicked off one of their most significant sales of the year. They’re slashing prices on some of fashion’s buzziest sneaker trends.
Right now, shoppers can save up to 60 percent off brands across categories—including beauty, home, fashion, and, yes, shoes. In the clothing category, that means brands like Free People, Madewell, Barbour, Veronica Beard, and more. In terms of footwear, markdowns will span across names such as Adidas, Puma, Ugg, On, New Balance, and Salomon, among others.
If you’re planning to use this sale to update your sneaker rotation—which I highly recommend, BTW—start with our top sneaker picks, listed right ahead.
