Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is still going strong with deals on Hoka, Dyson and more

CNN27-05-2025

Memorial Day sales may be fading out, but Nordstrom shows no signs of slowing with its Half-Yearly Sale. The event only happens twice a year, prompting deals across every category, including home, beauty and fashion deals on men's and women's clothing. So, if you've been waiting to take the plunge on top-name brands like Skims, Hoka, Birkenstock and more, now's your chance. I've curated the 20 best Nordstrom deals below.
Hoka Women's Arahi 7 Running Shoes
These Hoka running shoes proved to be some of the most stable trainers in the sneaker brand's lineup, according to our testing. The pair is designed to prevent your feet from rolling and now, they're just shy of $100.
Madewell The Brynn Shorts
A solid pair of denim shorts is hard to come by, but our editors trust in Madewell. These offer a relaxed, mid-length fit that won't stifle you in the summer heat. They also have a raw-edge hem to bring a casual touch to ensembles.
Lands' End Scoop-Neck High-Leg Tugless Tank One-Piece Swimsuit
If you've been looking for a one-piece swimsuit that you can rely on time after time, this option from Lands' End might be the one. It features adjustable straps and a stay-put design for all your summer activities.
Rothy's Women's Casual Clogs
I've been eyeing these Rothy's for quite some time amid the rising popularity of clogs. They bring a relaxed sophistication to linen trousers, and I envision them making great house slippers. Now Nordstrom has them for $40 off.
Skims Fits Everybody Lace T-Shirt Bra
Two of my favorite bras are from Skims because they offer a seamless look under tees. They also fit true to size, which is half the battle when it comes to bra shopping. The lace-detailed pick comes in three colors — all 31% off. Read our review
Free People Corfu Tube Top & Wide Leg Pants Set
Make getting dressed in the morning a little bit easier with Free People's spring ready set. It's 40% off in this pale pink-peach color and is airy enough for your next ourdoor gathering.
Hoka Men's Arahi 7 Running Shoes
Touted as some of the most stable shoes in Hoka's sneaker lineup, these running shoes keep your foot stable while you're on the move. Now, three colors are on sale for Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale, so you can hit your workout goals for less.
All Saints Aubrey Ribbed Polo
When brunches or birthday parties roll around, dress for the occasion with this nice polo from All Saints. It comes in muted grey, green and blue colors that match well with plain trousers and shorts.
Cole Haan Men's GrandPro Topspin Sneakers
These shoes come in both leather and suede options that easily dress up outfits. Its rubber sole also gives you solid stability as you venture to and fro. All four styles are up to 25% off at Nordstrom.
Zella Performance Run Shorts
Hit all your workout goals with these running shorts. With all five colors on sale, you might as well stock up on extras while they're up to 65% off. They also feature hidden zipper pockets to store your keys.
Vans Kessler Checkerboard Short-Sleeve Woven Button-Up Shirt
Bring a playful touch to your summer wardrobe with this dressy shirt that adopts a subtle checkerboard pattern synonymous with the brand. The light color and loose fit ensure comfort during breezy days ahead.
Le Creuset Signature 8-Quart Oval Enamel Cast-Iron Dutch Oven
Every home cook should have a Dutch oven, and one of the premier brands, Le Creuset, is marked down by 36%. It comes in 12 discounted colors, so you can match it perfectly to your kitchen decor and hardware.
Fellow Mighty Stagg Pour Over Set
As much as editors love Fellow's coffee brewing devices, it can be tough to recommended such expressive kitchen gadgets. That's not the case for this pour over kit, which is not just over 40% off, but also down to just $50.
Boll & Branch Queen Waffle Weave Organic Cotton Duvet Cover and Sham Set in White
My favorite sheet set hails from the bedding brand Boll & Branch. I imagine its waffle duvet cover and shams are equally impressive. The steep discount of $122 is also quite undeniable if you're hoping to swap in more airy linens.
Staub 8.5-Inch Cast Iron Traditional Deep Skillet
Any dedicated home cook needs a cast-iron skillet in their repertoire, since you can sauté and fry food all in one pan. Luckily, there are tons of options on sale from the popular cookware brand, Staub, at Nordstrom.
Parachute Soft Stitch Organic Cotton Pillow Shams, Set of 2
Break up drab bedding with the texture from these quilted pillow shams. My entire duvet set is from Parachute, and I can attest that it certainly brings a luxe touch to rooms. This duo is down by 65% at Nordstrom. Read our review
Estelle Colored Glasses Stemless Wineglasses, Set of 6
Don't show up empty-handed to housewarmings or wedding celebrations. This set of six wine glasses makes great Nordstrom gifts, especially while they're half off in transparent yellow, purple and pink.
Le Creuset 2.25-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Braiser in Olive
This piece of Le Creuset cookware is dropping to its best price of the year in a stylish Olive green color. It has an enameled lining that helps resist chipping and cracking as well as a tight-fitting glass lid.
Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum
You can never go wrong with a vanilla-scented perfume. It transitions easily from summer to fall to winter. This one from Tom Ford blends floral, almond and sandalwood notes in a golden bottle.
Dyson Limited Edition Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer in Jasper Plum
Equipped with upgraded attachments and intelligent temperature-controlling features that help protect the hair and scalp, the Nural is a step up from the Supersonic. It's typically pricier than the OG, but no longer with this Nordstrom deal. Read our review
Benefit Cosmetics Big Time Brow Minis Set
The first-ever brow staple in my makeup bag was the Benefit Gimme Brow. Fill and set brows while this bundled set unites two fan favorites from the lineup for 25% off.
Armani Beauty Acqua di Gio Parfum
The men in my life have used this Armani cologne for years, always eager to see it at Christmas time. With Father's Day coming up, it makes the perfect gift for a loved one. Snag it for even less while discounted at Nordstrom.
Mac Cosmetics Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Liquid Foundation
Most of us don't want a foundation that feels heavy during humid summers. Luckily, this lightweight serum-like foundation drops its tinted pigment onto your skin and blends into a natural-looking finish. Memorial Day has come and gone, but some of the best chances to save are still around. Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale always falls on our radar because of its ample savings across categories. After all, it only comes around twice a year, and the first one already happened in January. Part two brings up to 60% off new markdowns through June 1.
Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience. Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo source the best deals of the day each morning to curate one-offs and retailer-specific roundups on the top products to shop, searching everything from coveted tech essentials to Memorial Day clothing deals.

Poarch Returns To The Scene Of His Greatest Triumph, At The TST

On Wednesday, the highly anticipated The Soccer Tournament kicks off in Cary, North Carolina. The $1 million winner-take-all 7 v 7 competition for men and women will bring together former players and personalities from the beautiful game and in the sports world as well. Here are some of the movers and shakers who are expected to participate in the third-year tourney: Carli Lloyd. Michelle Akers. Hope Solo. Sergio Aguero. Geoff Cameron. Brek Shea. And Chad Poarch. Wait, let's back up just a minute. Chad Poarch? Just who is this Chad Poarch? Well, he is the player who scored the winning goal for La Bombonera in last year's final as he and his teammates split the million-dollar prize money. Poarch (pronounced porch) is back with another team - CONCAFA Soccer Club - as he tries to make it two titles in as many years. He is looking forward to the event, on and off the pitch. "I'm excited, man," he said. Last year he excited about meeting NBA great Chris Paul and former NFL wide receiver Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson. "I'm excited to meet all the celebrities and the guys who have already had successful careers, whatever they have," he added. "So that should be great." Of course, Poarch isn't going to be a paparazzi. He plans on having another memorable experience on the field at WakeMed Soccer Park. "I'm just looking forward to playing in that tournament, a professionally run tournament again, especially what they do with the media," he said. "This being the third year for TST hosting a tournament, I expect the competition is going to be better than the last two years.' Poarch's story, before and after the tournament, is two divergent tales. Prior to that competition, he had struggled to find a professional soccer team. Poarch attended High Point University and then the University of Delaware before deciding to pursue a pro career. That included tryouts in Portugal, Atlanta United and stints in the National Premier Soccer League, USL League Two and USL Championship. "I've been through some stuff," he said. But that all changed in Cary. Not only did he play well, the 5-11, 180-lb. Poarch received national publicity for connecting on the tournament-winning goal and an opportunity to play for the indoor Baltimore Blast in the Major Arena Soccer League. With that in mind, let's return to the TST final against Nani FC on June 10, 2024. Yes, that Nani, the former Portuguese international. Tournament officials ruled that the first team that reached four goals would win the title (the competition's rules are quite different from the rest of the sport). With La Bombonera leading 3-0, Poarch put a tough tackle on Nani, winning a 50-50 ball in his team's defensive zone. Racing into the penalty area on a 2-on-1 break, he launched a right-footed shot from the top of the box that nestled into the lower left corner to lift his team to the title. LA BOMBONERA DEFEAT NANI FC TO WIN TST 2024 🏆 CHAD POARCH SCORES $1M GOAL 💰 | TST "I was able to read the goalkeeper's pass," Poarch said. "As soon as I picked it off, I saw nothing but green grass in front. As soon as I got the ball, it just went silent. It was like a movie. He [the goalkeeper] "After I scored, man, it was like all the relief, all the pressure, everything just was taken off my shoulders, and then obviously we're celebrating with family and friends. It was a whirlwind. Unforgettable." Poarch's story hardly ends there. Blast player Oumar Sylla had told head coach David Bascome that Poarch was one of the players that he should watch at the tournament. Bascome was impressed with Poarch, who had scored five goals, and offered him a contract. "Fortunately for me, I had a good showing last year," Poarch said. 'I benefited from it." Just as he did at the TST, Poarch made the most of his opportunity with the Blast. As a defender, he scored 23 goals in as many regular season games, not bad for a forward, excellent for a defender. He added 10 assists and was voted the MASL newcomer of the year. Poarch, 27, called his past 12 months "a whirlwind experience." "It's been a great year for me as a player," he added. "I've been through a lot as a player, so like, it just feels good to finally get like recognition for doing well and achieving these great achievements. I've been super thankful and grateful for every opportunity that has come my way. I'm looking forward to the future. I'm trying to stay as much in the moment as possible and just take every opportunity as they come." His next opportunity will be to win the tournament with his new team. The CONCAFA Soccer Club, coached by former U.S. men's international goalkeeper Tony Meola, has some players who you might recognize. The higher profile players include former U.S. internationals Cameron and Shea, one-time New York Red Bulls standout Mike Grella and former Iraqi international and Columbus Crew star Justin Meram. For those indoor soccer aficionados, there's MASL all-stars Derek Huffman and Mario Alvarez (Milwaukee Wave), Gordy Gurson (Utica City FC), Zach Reget and Phillip Ejimadu Kansas City Comets) and Drew Ruggles (San Diego Sockers). ESPN analyst Pat McAfee is also on the team. Poarch said that the team had a "good atmosphere and good people to be around." Given the publicity the tournament has received in its short two-year existence, more serious players have wanted to participate. So, finding a pathway to the final has become that more difficult. "Obviously, the goal is to win the tournament," Poarch said. "I want to play well. I've been training and getting as fit as possible since the Blast season ended. For us to go all the way, and then for me to go back-to-back and win TST again will be phenomenal." If CONCAFA prevails, Poarch said that he will use his prize money in some practical ways, such as paying off his student loan, continue saving that he could buy a house and invest in his soccer training business. And even go on vacation. "Good things," he said. "To win a tournament will create a big boost for me in those areas," he said. And create some more history and perhaps another opportunity for Chad Poarch.

What's Going on With Ram? CEO Promises Turnaround

You will be forgiven for thinking Ram is down and out these days. The brand killed the Hemi V-8 that was a highlight of its 1500 full-size pickups, stopped building the affordable (but old) Ram Classic, and had a difficult launch of the Hemi-less 2025 Ram 1500 that included problems getting trims with all the bells and whistles out the door while also trying to start producing new Heavy Duties at the same plant. EV plans were pushed back, both for the range-extending Ramcharger and the entirely battery electric Ram 1500 REV. It adds up to a bad stretch for a brand critical to parent company Stellantis' U.S. fortunes. 0:00 / 0:00 Don't count the brand out yet, says Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, the man who retired from Stellantis a year ago and returned in December to try to turn things around. The longtime executive returned after former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares resigned and was exasperated at the botched Ram 1500 launch and high prices that were dragging down sales of a brand that had been flying high for years. The Fix Is In? Sales are better, he insists. With production volumes limited, the focus pivoted to fulfilling U.S. retail customers while foregoing fleet sales, especially to rental companies. The result: Retail sales were up 16 percent in the first quarter, will be closer to 40 percent higher in the second quarter, and likely will end the half about 25 percent up. At the same time, rental fleet sales will be down 90 percent. Losing the more affordable Ram Classic truck has hurt sales somewhat but there are plans to claw back some of those sales. But if anyone is expecting the return of a $40,000 stripped-down truck, those days are gone, Kuniskis says. With mandates and the tech needed, you can't strip a full-size truck down far enough and make money, he says. 'That's a midsize pickup,' he quips, and then says yes, a midsize to replace the Dakota is still in the plan but won't offer more detail right now. The 2026 Ram 1500 comes close to the old Classic's bogey, starting at $44,495. And there are 25 product and product-related announcements coming, the CEO says. EVs Will Come in Time And yes, EVs have been delayed. The Ramcharger goes into production later this year; the all-electric REV could arrive as late as summer 2027. The long-term commitment to these electrified trucks remains intact and Ram is enjoying the luxury of timing working in its favor. Being a bit of a laggard in the full-size electric pickup space allowed Ram to see how the forerunners were received. Executives watched the marketplace and saw prices increase and demand wane. Stellantis took advantage of Ram's tardiness to push back deadlines until a later date in the hopes profit margins on these products will improve. Bottom line: 'We have to get there,' Kuniskis says of EVs. Regulations and the need for compliance still exist despite some changes, so some form of electrification is needed. But the late launch will help the business case. 'We are able to delay until we can get a better margin.' Ram will still be first among a new crop to offer an extended-range EV (EREV) with the Ramcharger, which uses its gas engine only as a generator for its smaller-than-REV battery. (Vehicles that use the engine to power the wheels at all are considered to be plug-in hybrids, but the Ramcharger does not.) Everyone else will follow the Ramcharger's lead, Kuniskis says.
