Adidas Ultraboost 21: was $180 now $90 @ Amazon
The Ultraboost 21 is Adidas' newest Ultraboost, so it's surprising to see it on such a good discount.

Brooks Levitate 4: Was $150 now $66 @ Amazon
This is a wonderfully versatile running shoe that can pick up the pace when you want it to, but also has enough cushioning to keep you comfortable on long runs.

Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit: Was $180 now $108 with code BLACKFRIDAY
These nearly got the top spot in our roundup of the best Nike running shoes. They're super-plush underfoot, with a thick wedge of ZoomX foam hugging the foot as you move. That said, they are also wonderfully responsive on easy, slow miles. If you're a marathon runner, this is the easy shoe you've been waiting for, if you're a beginner, it doesn't get much comfier. 

Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37: was $120 now $71 @ Nike with code BLACKFRIDAY
These are last-seasons Pegasus running shoes, but are still a good pick. They've got the same React foam like that used in the newer model, and the only real changes Nike made to the Pegasus 38 were slight tweaks to the fit of the shoe. The Pegasus 37 makes a brilliant everyday training shoe and can be worn for snappier speedier miles, as well as longer, slower, runs. 

Saucony Ride 13: was $130 now $79 @ Amazon
Another brilliant Saucony running shoe, the Ride 13 is very similar to the Guide 13 mentioned above, without the in-built support. The neutral shoe is fantastic for easy miles, but has enough snap to get you through most speed sessions. It's also got $50 in the early Black Friday sales. 

Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38: was $120 now $91 @ Nike

Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%: was $275 now $208
