It’s a great day when Nike slashes prices across its running sneakers and apparel. Building a running wardrobe that works for every season can get expensive, so when an early Black Friday sale drops with discounts up to 49% off, it feels like the perfect time to stock up.

I’ve worn Nike performance gear since my childhood track and field days and right through to marathon training in recent years, so I like to think I know the brand’s products well and can spot great value. The first thing that jumped out at me was the very popular Nike Pegasus 41, reduced from $140 to $105. That is excellent value for such a reliable, versatile running shoe.

And that’s only the start. Nike has rolled out plenty more deals worth knowing about, and I’ve gathered the ones that actually stand out.

I’m a firm believer that runners can never have too many socks, but they need to be able to handle hard, sweaty miles. Nike’s Spark Lightweight Running Crew Socks are made for exactly that. They’re light, breathable, and designed to give you a close, almost barefoot feel while keeping your feet cool.

This is a great long-sleeve top for cooler days when you still work up a sweat, and it wicks moisture quickly to keep you comfortable. It also has built-in UV protection because winter sun can still have some bite. The sleeves are designed to reduce underarm chafing too, since it’s not only your legs that can suffer on longer runs.

These highly rated running shoes use Nike’s lightweight Flyknit upper and a waffle outsole made from recycled materials taken from other Nike shoes. There’s even a QR code on the tongue that shows you how to recycle or donate them once they’ve reached the end of their life, or how to get repairs in the meantime.

Sweat is a good thing because it shows you’re working hard.
