Although I love nothing more than a sophisticated heel, I’m also a certified sneakerhead. My capsule wardrobe is filled with a range of chic kicks from Adidas and Puma. So, when I found out that Nordstrom’s Early Black Friday sale includes my favorite brands (and more!), I flocked to the retailer’s site and immediately filled my shopping cart.
While perusing hundreds of discounted fashion items, I selected 15 styles that I plan to wear all season long. For dressy-ish days in the office, I’ll throw on suede sneakers that will pair nicely with my blazers, trousers, and collarless coats. Meanwhile, for more casual moments, I’ll slip on chunky trainers defined by a strong dadcore appeal. Styled with my cozy athleisure outfits, these shoes will work perfectly for errand runs and laid-back lunches.
The best part about Nordstrom’s on-sale sneakers is that many of them fall under $200, which is a great steal. If you’re looking to round out your footwear lineup—while also sticking to your budget—scroll on. You’ll not only find the most viral sneaker trends of the moment, but you’ll also spot classic designs that are inherently timeless.
Puma
Speedcat OG Sneakers (Were $100)
Adidas
Gender Inclusive Gazelle Indoor Pro Sneakers (Were $150)
Adidas’s fan-favorite Gazelle sneakers are trending alongside the brand’s iconic Sambas. While the Gazelles are usually $150, they’re currently on sale for $105. Needless to say, I’d recommend snagging them now, before they sell out.
Steve Madden
Casper Sneakers (Were $89)
Julia Marzovilla—Marie Claire’s fashion e-commerce editor and resident shoe expert—recently reported on the rise of suede sneakers. Test-drive the trend with this velvety pair from Steve Madden.
HOKA
Kawana 2 Running Shoes (Were $120)
I keep hearing about how Hoka’s running shoes are incredibly comfortable. So, for my next jog in the park, I’ll be taking these cushioned trainers for a spin.
Veja
Panenka Sneakers (Were $170)
If you’re searching for a simple black shoe, look no further than Veja’s Panenka sneakers. These will coordinate well with any relaxed winter outfit.
Adidas
Gender Inclusive Montreal 76 Sneakers (Were $130)
Ask me about my favorite color trend of the season, and I’ll speak highly of cherry red. There’s something about this sweet shade that feels oh-so rich.
Vince
Mojave Trainer Sneakers (Were $275)
This fall, It girls have been obsessing over slim sneakers. I’m sure this retro style will also make its way into winter, so I’m buying into the look with Vince’s Mojave shoes.
Tory Burch
Phoenix Sneakers (Were $200)
Nordstrom offers plenty of affordable sneakers, but the retailer also carries its fair share of designer alternatives. Take, for example, these sumptuous Tory Burch shoes.
Sam Edelman
Poppy Woven Sneakers (Were $135)
Prioritize comfort with Sam Edelman’s Poppy sneakers, grounded in an ultra soft sole.
Veja
Esplar Sneakers (Were $150)
Vince
Oasis Runner Sneakers (Were $275)
What I love most about Vince’s Oasis shoe is its contrasting color palette. Slip into this style and prepare to make heads turn.
Dolce Vita
Serina Sneakers (Were $140)
I’m partial toward this navy blue hue, but Dolce Vita’s Serina Sneakers are also offered in mocha mousse, butter yellow, beige, strawberry red, and sky blue.
Sam Edelman
Isella Sneakers (Were $110)
Designed with a slender construction and a low-top silhouette, Sam Edelman’s Isella sneakers embrace a vintage vibe that’s irresistible.
Vionic
Colbie Sneakers (Were $150)
Axel Arigato
Sphere Sneakers (Were $430)
Axel Arigato’s shoes are worth the investment—just ask celebrities like Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski who can’t stop wearing them.
