An iconic style reimagined specifically for women, this take on the classic Air Force 1 has garnered millions of views on TikTok alone, so there's no question whether it lives up to the hype. Nike says the kicks have "an airy aesthetic that lets your foot breathe," along with an Air-cushioned platform midsole for extra height and support. Meanwhile, a monochrome leather upper gives them a stylish, streamlined look you can pair with everything from jeans to dresses. Translation: These beauties will give you the most bang for your buck during the sale (and far beyond).

Hoping to save big on some trendy running shoes? I've got some good news: Nike's beloved Initiator sneaks are up for grabs for as low as $55! Not familiar with the style? Besides their bold, metallic "dad shoe" design, all you need to know is that they're made to help you go the extra mile, whether you're hitting the pavement or the school pick-up line. "I was in search of a cute pair of shoes that I could use for running or exercising," raves one buyer. "These were the perfect fit, and they have just the right amount of cushion for my ankles to stay strong and sturdy for over an hour of exercise." Comfortable, versatile *and* effortlessly cool? It's no wonder their reputation precedes them.

I have a confession: I've been eyeing these '70s-inspired low-profile sneakers for quite some time. Now that they're on sale? I'm wasting no time adding them to my collection—and neither should you. Crafted with leather, suede and mesh materials for prime durability from brunch dates to soccer practice, they also feature the signature Nike Swoosh in a range of hues to match any outfit. And you don't just have to take my word for it. One reviewer writes, "I love these shoes. So stylish yet simple and very comfortable...I love how you can style these shoes up or down and can wear them with almost anything." Throw in that foam midsole and grooved gum sole, and they should absolutely feel as good as they look.

Reviewers may be divided on the best color to buy them in, but I think any version of these lightweight sneaks will make an excellent addition to your running routine. Beyond their stylish look and versatility, if there's one thing everyone can agree on when it comes to the foam-padded shoes is just how comfortable they feel right out of the box. "The cushioning is great, the fit is comfortable, I can walk without any 'break-in' period of time," shares one happy shopper, while another gushes, "I’ve been buying Nike shoes for years and this pair is by far the most comfortable pair of running shoes I’ve owned." Need I say more?

These pants look dressy but feel casual—so they're perfect for both work (or class) and play. They have an easy fit and offer plenty of stretch, but also boast polished details like open side-seam pockets and a darted waistband, so you can pull off a genuinely effortless look that still feels nice and profesh. But don't just scoop these wide-leg pants for their elevated silhouette—buy them because their polyester and spandex material is "lightweight, sweat-wicking and wrinkle-resistant," per one reviewer, so they're bound to keep you comfy even on your most marathon-like days.

Searching your new staple sports bra? Look no further than this best-selling style. It has thin, easily adjustable straps you can customize for the best fit, but I have a feeling you'll be won over by the spandex and polyester style's unique padding, which is stretchy and soft-engineered to hug your form and stay in place as you move. One shopper also reports, "There is no spilling out on the sides, and it’s easy to put on and take off." What they didn't mention is that the low-profile style is meant to be smooth and quick-drying, too, making it virtually invisible under clothing.

Don't make the mistake of skipping the deal on these beloved Nike leggings that are as supportive and comfortable as can be. Per one reviewer, their polyester and spandex blend "has a buttery feeling without being restrictive yet [provides] adequate support." Plus, they feature the brand's Dri-FIT technology, which is supposed to move sweat away from your skin so you can stay dry throughout your workout. And, yes, they also have several pockets (three, to be exact) that can hold your phone, keys and cards, so you can look super sporty when you go hands-free (even if you're just heading to the grocery store).

Your kiddo needs a new pair of shoes for the new school year, and these trendy-yet-timeless kicks, which boast over 1,800 reviews and counting, are guaranteed to get their stamp of approval. And they don't just look cool with their fun contrast colors; thanks to their sturdy ankle padding and rubber traction for extra grip, they're also "safe for all kinds of activities," according to one pleased parent. Rest assured, they'll be ready for anything come recess.
