Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale Has All of My Favorite Sneaker Trends
Yes, the discounts are still ongoing. Here are 19 sneakers under $200.


I am nothing if not a sneaker collector. My favorite pairs are slowly taking over the front room in my apartment, and I certainly don’t need another pair. However, you, dear reader, are not me. If your favorite sneakers need a refresh, you should know that a ton (read: almost all) of my favorite sneakers are on sale right now during Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale.
Yes, the sale is one of Nordstrom's biggest, and it's still happening. Consider this my way of keying you into an insider shopping secret. The discounts are massive. Brands like Tory Burch are up to 60 percent off, and the selection is top-notch. Take it from me—I scrolled through over 15 pages of on-sale kicks to find the 19 pairs worth picking up.
There's something for everyone in this sale. We found the best cozy picks to lounge around and some pieces Zendaya would buy if she shopped this sale. On the beauty front, our editors found enough fresh skincare and makeup picks to revamp your morning routine.
For sneaker fans, we found the best white sneakers for everyday wear, the best black sneakers that look sleek and are even appropriate for formal occasions, wearable chunky sneakers, and a few work-appropriate pairs you can rely on at the office. I even found a pair of sneakers in multiple colors that Kate Middleton has relied on for years. There’s no telling when the sale will officially end, but I’ll keep this post updated if I find out. In the meantime, happy shopping!

Marie Claire's Senior Fashion and Beauty News Editor Halie LeSavage tested these Tory Burch Howell Court Sneakers.

"Whether I want to wear an oversized suit or an office-appropriate midi dress, the clean white leather goes with it all."
These black sneakers have a retro feel and an incredibly comfortable sole—oh, and they're on sale for less than $50.
