Massive Nike sale takes up to 50% off shoes — here's 11 deals I'd shop now
My favorite pairs start at just $44
Not long ago, I had to officially bid farewell to my favorite pair of trainers — the Nike React Infinity 3 — due to rips in the toe box, a flattened foam sole, and stains that no longer came out (even after an OxiClean bath). Finding a proper replacement so far has proven futile, especially since I refuse to pay full price. Technically a running shoe, these supportive, cushiony sneakers were my go-to for everything from weight training to HIIT cardio workouts, saving my actual running shoes from extra wear and tear. Luckily, Nike has a plethora of options to suit my multipurpose requirements.
That’s why I’ve frequently checked the clearance section. And right now, you can take up to 50% off a range of footwear, from running shoes to trainers and streetwear styles, at Nike. While I haven’t found anything for myself yet, there are 7 seriously tempting good footwear deals worth shopping for, all listed below. The deals even include one of the best Nike running shoes we've tested. For more, check out our favorite deals in Amazon's latest Adidas sale.

The Best Nike Deals
Men's Flex Experience Run 11: was $75 now $44 @ Nike
Multiple reviewers of this budget-friendly trainer gush that they'd buy another pair — they're that comfortable. Ideal for lighter workouts and runs, this lightweight design is equally loved for its price point. Plus, the women's Run 12 is marked down to $56 in special, wide sizing.
Men's Interact Run Road Running Shoes: was $85 now $50 @ Nike
These highly-rated running shoes, featuring Nike's lightweight Flyknit upper, are a whopping 40% off and still available in every size (rare for discounts this big). This style also features a waffle outsole crafted from recycled materials (from other Nike footwear, no less) to fit the overall shoe's ethos of extending its lifecycle. A scannable QR code on the tongue, for instance, provides even more insights on how to recycle or donate these when they've inevitably run their course or help with repairs in the interim. Talk about a long-term investment for less.
Women's Air Max SC SE: was $95 now $53 @ Nike
From Nike's Air Max lineup, the SC SE is already relatively affordable from the get-go, but even more so during the fitness brand's sale. Reviewers have worn these walking and even working out without discomfort (in fact, they've earned a rare "very comfortable" rating on the website) despite the stylish, corduroy exterior. "I cannot express how much I love these shoes," one buyer writes. "I want a pair in every color. Also get so many compliments!"
Men's Free Run 2018: was $100 now $69 @ Nike
In this iteration of Nike's Free Run shoes (which are 30% off), you'll likely notice a more adaptive fit thanks to a stretchy, breathable upper material that hugs your foot for extra comfort. "I walk at least 10k steps a day and don't feel any discomfort," one reviewer writes." Many note they went up half a size for a better fit.
Men's Pegasus 40 Road Running Shoes: was $130 now $77 @ NIke
Pegasus has been part of Nike's running lineup for what feels like forever, which is why our review of its 40th iteration concludes it's "a reliable workhorse for beginners and marathon runners alike." The biggest discount is limited to the bronze, black, white/red, and orange/blue combinations, however.
Men's Wildhorse 8 Trail Shoes: was $140 now $83 @ Nike
The Nike Wildhorse 8 is our choice for the best-looking trail running shoe. The midsole contains Nike's React Foam, which provides a pleasant balance between cushioning and ground feel. They're comfortable to wear while running long distances, but we noted that the outsole can be slippery while running on wet terrain. Do note, just sizes 6.5 through 9 are still in stock.
Women's Air Max 270: was $160 now $121 @ Nike
It's not often that this popular sneaker dips so deeply in price. Eligible for a 23% off discount, these easy-to-slip-on sneakers provide buyers with a boost (270 degrees of air!) and nail the trifecta of comfort, style and support.
Men's Pegasus Trail 4: was $140 now $83 @ Nike
One of the best Nike running shoes is on sale for 40% off. These dependable shoes are great for road-to-trail runs. We loved the Pegasus Trail 4's roomy toebox and cushioned comfort. The outsole isn't grippy enough for some wet and muddy terrain, but the shoes are fine for lighter trails.
Women's Metcon 9 Workout Shoes: was $150 now $98 @ Nike
The Nike Metcon 9 is our top choice for the best cross-training shoes and a personal favorite of our senior fitness writer. They're sturdy, offer a wide toe box, and provide great stability and comfort. Right now, a few sizes and colors are 34% off.
Women's InfinityRN 4 Road Running Shoes: was $160 now $96 @ Nike
The Infinity Run 4 is the latest iteration of Nike's Infinity line. It's a good all-rounder — comfortable enough for easy and recovery runs, while still being supportive enough to wear in the gym. We rank them as the best Nike shoe for beginners.
Men's Invincible 3: was $180 now $125 @ Nike
If comfort is king, the Nike Invincible 3 is here to serve. Discounted up to 30%, this super-cushioned sneaker is one of the best Nike running shoes for recovery thanks to a sizable helping of Nike's ZoomX foam in the midsole. It also looks darn fly.
