I’M ON RECORD as being checks over stripes, meaning I’ll peruse a Nike sale as soon as I see it. I’m not big on sportswear and athleisure, but Nike is vaunted as an OG running brand with a fascinating origin story—seriously, check out Shoe Dog if you haven’t already—and nails both style and functionality. Right now, Nike’s Back-to-School Sale has up to 38 percent off running shoes, casual sneakers, and workout gear.
I’ve parsed through the sale and pulled every shoe that wowed Men’s Health editors this year. The Vomero and Pegasus 42 were standouts when Senior Editor Brett Williams, NASM, and Fitness and Reviews Editor Charles Thorp, NASM, tested running shoes, and there are a couple of pairs that won a 2026 Men’s Health Sneaker Award. There are also deals on workout and recovery apparel for both summer and fall.
The sale is a blanket extra 25 percent off selected items, with some sale prices only showing once you’ve added them to your cart. We’ve done the math to show you the final price below. While there’s a good selection of sizes and colors right now, that won’t be the case for much longer: See something you like? We suggest you act fast.
