Black Friday sales are starting 2 weeks early these days as people stopped caring about dates, holidays, and anything other than Q4 performance. Many of the smaller brands will not do specific Black Friday sales. Tracksmith stuff you’ll only see go on sale during their Silver Medal sale. I expect Bandit and most of the other 3rd wave brands to behave similarly. Also, when I can, these links are affiliated which helps cover the cost of website hosting and occasionally a coffee.
Smaller Brand Direct Sales
Several of the brands have their own sales, such as Optimistic Runners, Far Running, Over Over, and personal fave Janji. Janji’s trail tights are 20% off, and I can’t say more good things about them.
The SSENSE Sale
SSENSE…I have many thoughts on. They regularly undercut retailer prices. But here’s some savings anyway on high end running apparel. There’s On x PAF, Satisfy, Soar Running, and District Vision Men’s and Women’s.
Men’s
- Soar - Full kit, including their gradient rainbow marathon race shorts
- Satisfy - Tops, shorts, hats, gloves, running vest
- District Vision - Tops, leggings, and sunglasses. These ones in soft green are my fave.
Women’s
- District Vision - Tops, leggings, and sunglasses
- On x PAF - Jackets, wind pants, long sleeves, shorts
- Outdoor Voices - leggings, Pace shorts (their Nike Tempo), jackets
- Chimi Sunglasses - these are $97, half off what is essentially an Oakley like model
END. Early Black Friday Sale

LVR Black Friday Sale

The Race Shoe Discount Hack
Buying on secondary markets such as StockX and GOAT are an easy way to save anywhere from $50-$100 on racing shoes. Downside: there’s usually a 1-2 week turnaround time as they “authenticate” your shoes to make sure they aren’t counterfeit. The Vaporfly 3 is $155 in my size, about $90 off. After fees and shipping its $178. Not a bad deal.
Tech Accessories
I’m a sucker for transparent tech and I love my Nothing headphones. I got a pair of the buds, but if I needed another pair I’d get these ones which loop on.
