Nike’s back-to-school sale includes huge discounts on top running shoes, including the new Pegasus 42 hitting its lowest ever price
Get top running shoes for under $100
There are two things I particularly like about big Nike sales. One is that they don’t exclude the biggest running shoes in their line-up, unlike many brands who make their top sneakers exempt from discounts.
The second is that Nike sales usually reward a little effort with bigger discounts. If you’re prepared to click around the various colors available for your chosen shoe to find the cheapest one, then layer a second discount code on top of the sale price, you get the pleasure of revealing a huge saving at the checkout.
Right now pretty much all of the best Nike running shoes are reduced in the brand’s back-to-school sale, and if you use the code DAYONE at checkout you get an extra 25%, even on top of any discount in place before the code.
This double-discount effect knocks shoes like the new Nike Pegasus 42 well under $100 for the first time, and also reduces my favorite cushioned running shoe, the Nike Vomero Plus, to just $108.
Whether you’re actually heading back to school or not, don’t miss these deals.

Nike back-to-school sales
This is the latest model of the popular Pegasus line so I'm surprised and delighted to see it reduced by so much already. The Nike Pegasus 42 is a durable daily trainer that's ideal for general use alongside your easy runs. The men's Pegasus 42 is also reduced to $87in one color, with almost all sizes still available at the time of writing.
The Nike Zoom Fly 6 is a plated super-trainer that offers a great balance of comfort and speed. I've run over 90 miles in my pair and they've impressed me on every run. One color of the men's shoe is down to $89 using the code DAYONE at checkout, and there are other colors of the men's and women's Zoom Fly 6 reduced to $114.
This is my favorite cushioned shoe for easy and long runs thanks to its comfortable, bouncy design. Both the men’s and women’s Nike Vomero Plus are reduced in the sale, with the best deal available on colors reduced to $144, which then drops to $108 using the code DAYONE at checkout.
