The Japanese sportswear brand Asics has been making sneakers since the late 1940s and these days it produces some of the best running shoes on the market. For Amazon Prime Day, a solid selection of high-tech sneakers are marked down, some by as much as 56% off.

The men's version comes in some pretty out-there colorways, including Black/Tuna Blue shown here. And even though they're intended for the great outdoors, nothing's stopping you from cruising them through the city; I'm sure they'll grip slick subway steps pretty well, too.

When does Prime Day end?

Amazon's annual sale event usually runs across two days; this year, Prime Day is on for July 16 and July 17, with deals coming to a close at midnight on the evening of July 17. 

We expect many discounts to end then, although some sales float around for much of the week. However, I wouldn't rely on that — if there's a product on sale that you've got your eye for, grab it before it disappears. 

From what we've seen so far this Prime Day, availability has been patchy and unpredictable, with items quickly going out of stock or prices varying throughout the day.
