Ive been collecting since 2018 so I usually know the drill but 2026 is looking unpredictable with all these boutique brands getting more hype than Nike lately.
Got about 500 bucks saved up for November and just wanna know which sneaker brands are actually gonna have the best Black Friday sales?

Jumping in here... ASICS is a decent option because their sales are usually solid on retail sites. You can find good discounts on technical models that hold up well.
- ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 Metallic Silver Black for the comfort
- Salomon XT-6 Black Phantom for winter traction Boutiques like Kith often do 25 to 40 percent off site-wide which helps that 500 stretch further. Let me know if you want a list of shops to watch!

In my experience, New Balance usually wins. Last year I snagged:
- New Balance 990v6 Core Grey
- New Balance 2002R Castlerock Quality is top tier and the 30% discount felt legit.

> ASICS is a decent option because their sales are usually solid @Reply #2 - good point! Honestly though, everyone keeps ignoring Adidas but their tech specs are way ahead. Unfortunately, Nike's quality control has been total garbage lately. Summarizing the thread: we got New Balance for lifestyle and ASICS for retail deals, but for your 500 bucks, I'd check out Adidas Ultraboost Light Core Black or Adidas 4DFWD 3 Carbon. Better cushioning tech and they're usually 50 percent off come November.
