As a marathon runner, I cycle through running shoes way faster than I’d like. Thankfully, as I head into a busy training season, I’m not going to have to worry about splurging on sneakers every 300 to 500 miles.

The 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here and features some insane discounts on running shoes. Case in point: one of my go-to pairs, the New Balance 327 Sneaker, is under $100 for a limited time only.

But don’t forget, the sale might not be open to you just yet. The sale opens for Icon access on July 14. Ambassador access begins on July 15, while Influencer access (all cardmembers) runs from July 16 to July 17. The public discounts begin on July 18 and will be available through August 9.
