If your love language, like mine, is buying new shoes any time the wind blows, listen up: Labor Day weekend sales are the *perfect* excuse to stock your closet with the trendiest sneakers of the season. Whether you’re hunting for a stylish pair for the gym or finishing touch to a cute athleisure ‘fit, there are sooo many styles on sale right now from brands like Adidas, Puma, and New Balance. And as a sneaker-obsessed editor, I'm here to guide you through all the biggest and best deals you won't want to miss.
Many brands drop their newest styles in spring and early fall—which means last season's sneaks are going for lower-than-usual prices. Add in Labor Day markdowns, and you’re looking at some seriously major savings.

Best Deal
These budget-friendly kicks are a quintessential gym shoe—great for pilates class, hot girl walks on the treadmill, HIIT workouts, and everything in between. Amazon reviewers rave that they’re comfortable and lightweight, and right now you can snag them for under $40.
Blame it on the internet's favorite "it" girls like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner—the New Balance 530s have cemented their place as an athleisure staple for the past few seasons (and they’re not going anywhere). Grab this version with pretty periwinkle accents for 20% off.
I already own two different pairs of Puma Palermos, but this striking grape-and-maroon colorway has me eyeing a third. The suede upper gives your look just the right touch of texture, while the classic gum soles keep them laidback yet durable.
With the U.S. Open underway, my feed is exploding with chic tennis outfits I'm dying to recreate. Good news is, these vintage-inspired Reeboks are under $70 right now, with a clean silhouette and retro detailing that will look right at home with pleated skirts and polo tops.
These ballet-pink Air Maxes feature plush padding that gives you a subtle bounce in every step. I'm also a fan of the breathable mesh upper that keeps your feet cool.
These chunky shoes are more than *just* a fashion statement— they’re built for all-day comfort, too. Think sky-high cushioning for an ultra-smooth ride, a soft neutral midsole for shock absorption, and a rocker shape that keeps you moving whether you’re running miles or just running errands.
Keep it simple with these low-top Blazers from Nike. They have all the beloved details of the '70s original—like the oversized swoosh and suede-tipped toe—but now come with a chunky platform and updated midsole for extra comfort and support.
For a throwback look that still feels chic, opt for these bold red kicks from New Balance. The basketball-inspired silhouette pairs effortlessly with leggings, shorts, or wide-leg jeans—giving you basically endless styling options.
HOKA's popular Bondi sneaker is built for walking, hiking, and long days on your feet—with impeccable style to boot. The chunky soles are just as trendy as they are functional, with a cushioned midsole that supports your arches. Plus, the water-resistant upper and grippy traction make them a win for just about any weather.
If you're looking to log some serious miles this fall, consider the best-selling Ghost Max 2. It's designed with stacked cushioning to ease impact and a subtle rocker shape that helps propel you forward with every step. FYI: Sizes are going fast, so don't wait to grab your pair.
The Nike Pegasus is one of the most popular running shoes on the market—and for good reason. The lightweight design features a breathable upper and a responsive midsole for better energy return. Plus, it comes in a ton of cool colors to keep your ’fits looking fresh mile after mile.
Nothing completes your 'fit quite like a hot-pink pair of sneakers. This low-top Puma style is perfectly on-trend, with a sleek silhouette you’ll want to wear on repeat.
You can't go wrong with a workout shoe like the Asics GT-2000 13. The brand is famous for its deliciously squishy midsoles that strike the perfect balance between softness and bounce. This pair even comes with extra arch support, making it a great pick for over-pronators who need a little extra stability.
These iconic sneaks boast more than 1,300 reviews and an average 4.5-star rating on Amazon, thanks to their cushy midsole and lightweight build. I especially love this versatile black-and-white style, which is easy to pair with everything from bike shorts to leggings.
Retro-inspired kicks will always be my weakness—especially these stylish Nikes with black, white, and yellow overlays. The contrasting suede accents and mesh upper make them stand out, no matter how many pairs are already in your rotation.
