Massive sneaker sale from Asics, New Balance, Brooks and more — 21 deals I'd shop now from $39
With summer in full swing, you might be spending more time running and walking outdoors. That's why it's time to ditch those old, tired and smelly sneakers and opt for a sparkling new pair. Fortunately, there's plenty of high-quality sneaker options on the market that won't break the bank. Right now, we're seeing huge discounts on some of the best running shoes we've tested. A few of our favorite deals come courtesy of top brands like Brooks, Asics, New Balance, Adidas and more. One of the best deals we've spotted is on the Nike Pegasus 41 which is sporting a $55 discount. Below, I've rounded up all the best sneaker deals that will have you bidding farewell to your old, run down pair. Keep scrolling to check them out. The Runfalcon 5 is an entry-level running shoe that offers a high level of comfort thanks to the Cloudfoam midsole. Keen runners will be better off with the Supernova Rise or Ultraboost 5X, which are both also included in the sale, but the Runfalcon 5 are a great budget option for occasional runners, and they look good for casual use as well. The Supernova 2 is good for running and daily wear thanks to the cushioned midsole, high-traction rubber outsoles and breathable mesh upper. The discount varies with color and size, so check the different options for the best deal. The Ultraboost Light are one of our favorite pairs of running shoes from Adidas. Our Adidas Ultraboost Light review says these are stylish, fit well and are lighter than the previous Ultraboost 22. They're usually a bit more expensive than other models on the market, but this is an amazing discount you shouldn't miss. Our Adidas Ultraboost 5 review called these "a standout option for those who want a good-looking shoe for general use as well as running." We loved their stylish design, grippy soles and smooth-feeling, comfortable foam stack. These casual sneakers have Asics' tech on board to make them more comfortable and supportive. Their mesh upper makes them lightweight and breathable, and they have Gel technology to reduce impact on your feet. Their sporty design makes them look cool to boot. These budget-friendly running shoes just got even cheaper thanks to this Asics sale. The Asics Jolt 5 feature a breathable mesh upper and soft AMPLIFOAM cushioning underfoot. These shoes are a heavenly mashup of Asics' Trail Scout and Gel-Excite shoes, providing a durable upper and plenty of traction for tackling off-road trails alongside plush midsole comfort, thanks to Amplifoam Plus tech in the midsole. The Asics Gel-Sonoma 8 is a solid, no-frills trail running shoe built for comfort and grip on uneven terrain. It's a good option if you want reliable cushioning and support without spending a fortune. Although a fairly modest discount, this shoe is currently at its lowest price in 30 days. It's regarded as a comfy and versatile sneaker that suits neutral runners in particular. The Revel 7 is one of Brooks' most budget-friendly running shoes at full price, and right now, there's $15 knocked off its affordable price. Whether you're going for a run, lifting weights, or running errands, these shoes offer comfortable, adaptive cushioning that'll support your foot all day. The Ghost 16 is one of the most popular shoes you can get from Brooks, thanks to its lightweight cushioning with improved midsole foam compared to its predecessor. This shoe is great for long runs or walks, or for simply throwing on to run errands. For those looking for maximum cushioning in a running shoe, this is the one for you. In addition to plenty of Brooks' nitrogen-infused foam, the Ghost Max 2 also features an upward curve at the heel and toe to improve heel-toe transitions and a broad base to increase stability. The Propel is a great value running shoe at its full price, so to get the latest version of it for just $57 in the sale is a snip. Make sure to act fast if your size is in stock at this discount. The New Balance Fresh Foam ROAV V1 Sneaker is a seriously popular purchase on Amazon, with a 4.4 star rating based on over 22,000 reviews. Their casual athletic style makes them look unique and they're also super comfortable for runs thanks to their cushioned Fresh Foam Midsole. New Balance is certainly partial to a pop of color, but sometimes a sleek classic might be just what you're after. The 840s are a great day-to-day shoe when you're in the mood for a leisurely walk or taking a rest day from training. It's got all the usual features of a comfy NB shoe; cushioned midsole, mesh outer and a molded heel. When I see the word 'Gore-Tex', I immediately think about different running weather, especially rain – and this shoe is geared for wet terrain. With its Gore-Tex waterproof construction all the way to its Hydrohesion outsole, you've got a shoe that'll keep your feet dry and your grip strong. These Nike training shoes are perfect for a variety of workouts. Nike bills them as being stable and flexible, making them great for everything from HIIT to weightlifting.

These budget-friendly sneakers are designed for workouts, with flexible soles and a midfoot strap to keep them securely on your feet. Use code "SPORT" for this discount. The Nike Pegasus 41 is on sale in the men's sizing for $84 right now in the Nike summer sale. There are tons of different colorways available, but you'll have to cycle through to find the best deal in your size. While women could buy the men's shoe, unfortunately, the women's specific Pegasus 41 isn't on sale. The best deal I could find is on the special edition After Dark Tour series, which is on discount to $94 with the code SPORT. For new and long-time runners alike, the Air Pegasus 2005 is an excellent pick. Equipped with Nike Air technology for impact absorption, a waffle-inspired outsole with great traction, and a foam midsole, these shoes will give your feet the reliable support they need on long runs. If you're looking for a breathable, supportive running shoe, you've found it. With Air Zoom cushioning and plastic caging on the side, there's plenty of support and a responsive feel, and with mesh panels and ventilation ports on the heel, air can easily flow through and keep your feet cool.

Adidas Adizero EVO SL are redefining a tech infused flagship running sneaker
In the past couple of years, Adidas has taken what is for all intents and purposes, an unassailable lead with deploying cutting-edge tech, in their sneakers. The Adidas Switch FWD and the Supernova Rise are some fine examples. There was a time when one of their closest rivals, the ones well known for the swoosh logo, leveraged tech well. No longer is that the case. Adidas is widening its tech infused advantage even further, considering what the new Adizero EVO SL, delivers in terms of potential and performance. Nike and Asics, in particular, must feel they have a drawing board to get back to. For starters, it is important to point out the versatility of Adidas' new ₹15,999 — they are being marketed as a fast running shoe, but in our experience, they're equally adept as a training shoe too. That may be the sort of convenience that adds value for some buyers. Think of the Adizero EVO SL as an iteration of another of the Adizero sneakers, the Adios Pro 3 from 2023 and the Adios Pro 4 from 2024, but without the carbon-infused energy rods that run the length of the midsole. And there's a definitive familial hint of the Adidas Pro Evo 1 too. The combination of the midsole foam called Lightstrike Pro, coupled with the lightweight mesh upper and comparable stack heights, lend credence to that comparison. The lack of additional stiffness from the energy rods does give the Adizero EVO SL a wider, perhaps different user base to appeal to — the ones that'd prefer a softer cushioning feel. Both schools of thought co-exist with runners, and comfort is as subjective as things get. Speaking of which, the upper's structuring and spacing is ideal for a spacious toe box. The Lightstrike Pro composition, density and indeed how it responds, is simply top notch. It is comfortable for the most part, but there is equally a very perceptible energy return as you run. For some strange reason, the laces tend to come undone somewhat too easily — maybe a material or construction tweak is needed. That's a little more profound on harder running surfaces, but it's working nonetheless. Instead of carbon rods, Adidas has optimised this well for the bounce to work in the favour of the runner. The bounce slowly evolves into a definite energy return as you pick up pace — think of this as the running sneaker equivalent of a well-tuned car's steering stiffening up slightly as you pick up speed, for better road hold and feedback as you'd corner then. It is this versatility that helps the Adizero EVO SL buck the one-direction trend that fast sneakers tend to struggle with — they're not as comfortable at slower speeds. That's why I pointed out early on, this is as good a running shoe as it is a trainer. And that'd include jogging too. There is also the rocker-esque shaping (look at the Adizero EVO SL from side on, and it becomes perceptible) which is just about there — not enough to alienate someone looking for a more conventional design, and yet enough to assist with transitions. Unlike similar midsole propositions that tend to have a mid foot depression kick in at some point, the Lightstrike Pro seems to have done enough to work around that, without having to reduce the stack height (that would have compromised overall comfort, a bit). Adidas does leave some room for argument with the outsole contours, and doesn't have as many ridges or grooves as the Adios Pro over the years. That said, there is never a shortage of grip, across surfaces and moisture levels. The Continental rubber remains a fixture in the forefoot area extending a bit to under the mid foot. In my experience with other Adidas sneakers over the years, Continental rubber holds up well over time. Would that be the case this time too? It is not at all surprising that the Adidas Adizero EVO SL has immediately found a place among the sneakers I wear most often, and the all-round abilities help in that regard. It is around the ₹15,000 price point where most tech infused running sneaker flagships sit. For instance, the Nike Vomero 18 (the Vomero family has grown in price stature) and the Asics Gel-Kayano 31. Adidas' Lightstrike Pro is matching the ZoomX midsole composition and bettering the response in some respects. But it is perhaps the closer to conventional design that gives the Adidas Adizero EVO SL its biggest advantage. Not everyone may find Nike's pods on the outsole palatable to their running needs. And at 224 grams for a men's size 10, the Adizero EVO SL has a massive advantage over the 305 grams weight of the Gel-Kayano 31.
