A Quick Guide ToNORDSTROM'S HALF-YEARLY SALE

Just like the old adage states, you can never go wrong with the classics — and that rings exceptionally true when it comes to men’s footwear. As one of Nike’s most popular running silhouettes ever, the Air Huarache combines sporty and stately in a way that few other shoes can lay claim to. The adidas Ultra Tech’s timeless textured style and bright accents ensure you’ll stand out from the crowd in any situation. And last but certainly not least, you can never go wrong with a fresh pair of Vans, especially when they feature a unique combo of checkerboard and corduroy like the Lampin does.

Women’s sneaker trends were wide-reaching in 2018. Running-turned-lifestyle shoes like the Air Max 97 featured new colorways and flashy materials for a brand-new style. Hybrid silhouettes like the EQT Support Sock — a shoe that mixed a high fashion-esque laceless upper with a heritage adidas midsole — bridged the gap between the runways and the streets. Even the classic Nike Blazer got in on the fun via a new Rebel variation that used asymmetrical laces and a medial side zipper for a plentiful helping of modern-day flair.

Shoes for a kid have to be resilient, cool, and easy to wear. That’s a lot to ask, but the Half-Yearly sale has plenty of pairs that are up to the task. You likely had a pair of shell-toed adidas Superstars as a youngster, and now your kid can too. The Vans Sk8-Hi adds a zipper to the heel, solving the biggest problem with kids high-tops by enabling the wearer to put them on and take them off quickly. And kids have enough energy to run around all year long, so the Ultra Boost ensures they’ll be plenty comfortable while doing it. Shop the full kids sale here.
