Although I love nothing more than a sophisticated heel, I’m also a certified sneakerhead. My capsule wardrobe is filled with a range of chic kicks from Adidas and Puma. So, when I found out that Nordstrom’s Early Black Friday sale includes my favorite brands (and more!), I flocked to the retailer’s site and immediately filled my shopping cart.

While perusing hundreds of discounted fashion items, I selected 15 styles that I plan to wear all season long. For dressy-ish days in the office, I’ll throw on suede sneakers that will pair nicely with my blazers, trousers, and collarless coats. Meanwhile, for more casual moments, I’ll slip on chunky trainers defined by a strong dadcore appeal. Styled with my cozy athleisure outfits, these shoes will work perfectly for errand runs and laid-back lunches.

The best part about Nordstrom’s on-sale sneakers is that many of them fall under $200, which is a great steal. If you’re looking to round out your footwear lineup—while also sticking to your budget—scroll on. You’ll not only find the most viral sneaker trends of the moment, but you’ll also spot classic designs that are inherently timeless.
