The footwear market is, in a word, weird. Sneakers are supposedly dead, but also, not really — after all, you can’t wear loafers all the time, and given the unseasonably warm weather, boots are currently off the table. The Samba wave is over, GATs are $300 too expensive, JJJJound Asics are impossible to track down. You just want a clean, slightly slim sneaker that’s versatile enough to wear daily and cool enough to get you from point a to point b. That’s where the Nike sale comes in.

That’s right — the swoosh is officially on the rebound. After a half-decade of collab fatigue and falling market share, the Nike is slowly returning to what made the so great in the first place: simple yet iconic sneaker silos that look good and won’t cost you and arm and a leg. Air Max, Pegasus, Cortez; these are what people actually want to wear right now…they just don’t know it yet.

That’s where we come in. Below, we’ve highlighted some of the best retro styles Nike has to offer, all of which are easy to wear and currently on sale (read: even more affordable). There are Tiffany blue-hued Dunks, a throwback low-top, even a pair of tasty Jeremy Allen White-endorsed kicks, all marked down and up for grabs at the current Nike sale. Need more?
