I Found 21 Pairs of Trendy Sneakers Hiding in Nordstrom’s Fall Sale Section
From everyday white pairs to slim designer picks, I found everything you need for less than $250.


The best trendy sneakers in my closet take me anywhere—like the office or the gym—without missing a beat. But keeping up with the latest styles while sticking to your budget is easier said than done. Thankfully, Nordstrom's Fall Sale has arrived, and with it, there are plenty of sneakers you should pick up that are affordably-priced at less than $250.
Here's everything you need to know before you start shopping: from now through October 28, Nordstrom is offering up to 50 percent off thousands of finds, including over 600 pairs of sneakers. So whether you're on the hunt for a cool white pair of kicks for every day or need some comfortable sneakers for work, I can practically guarantee you'll find them at a discount. However, there's no need to scroll through the near-endless pages of the retailer's Fall Sale to find your next favorite pair of kicks—I already did the hard work for you.
Ahead, I rounded up the 21 best sneakers I found in the sale. You'll find a range of styles to suit your taste and needs, from chunky sneakers and slip-ons to everyday black pairs and a few picks from celebrity-favorite sneaker brands like Adidas and Puma. There are even discounted finds that let you tap into the biggest sneaker trends of New York Fashion Week.
Puma sneakers have been having a moment with Dua Lipa, Emily Ratajkowski, and Rihanna having already given their A-list stamp of approval. Steal their look with this pair that offers a subtle pop of neon color.
Even if you didn't grow up listening to My Chemical Romance and Blink-182, you can still get in on the Vans sneaker trend. Take after Gigi Hadid, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emily Ratajkowski with elevated trousers and maxi dresses.
I'm all for a pop of a trendy metallic accessory in my outfit, and these cute sneakers would be just enough to add some interest to my look. I'd wear them with something as simple as jeans and white T-shirt to really make them pop.
Comfortable walking shoes aren't the easiest to come by, but rest assured this pair is just that. They feature a knitted upper and a lightweight padded sole so you won't mind weighing these all day. Every colorway is on sale, so have your pick.
While these aren't the exact pair, they are pretty similar to the Veja sneakers that Kate Middleton recently wore in an Instagram video. It's not every day you can steal the style of a royal for under $100, so grab them while you still can.
I can confidently say Converse High Tops will never go out of style. Wear the classic shoes now with trendy cropped jeans to show off the silhouette.
Suede is a major trend for fall and that applies to footwear, too. Suede accents on the toes and heel give these sneakers a fall 2024 edge, but they feel plenty timeless to wear for years to come.
These shoes went viral on TikTok over the summer when one user raved about how comfortable they are. Turns out, Nordstrom shoppers agree. One reviewer compared them to "walking on clouds" and wrote, "These Dr Scholl sneakers are as comfy as ANY of my high-end sneakers!"
