Everyone knows Nike is the company to beat in the record-breaking running shoe department. People are less familiar with their prowess in the fun running shoe department, the kind of sneakers that you won’t find on marathon winners, but may just get you excited to lace up at 6 a.m. for your morning jog.
We’re talking specifically about the Joyride, a line that features Nike’s unimpeachably cool silhouettes — but packed with Willy Wonka-esque tech. You’ve heard of “energy return,” but the Joyride offers that all-important feature through an ingenious proprietary design: thousands of little beads packed into the soles that look like Dippin’ Dots and feel like “running on bubbles.”
Right now, Nike is discounting its entire line of Joyride sneakers, both running and casual editions for men and women. Mind you, that doesn’t mean every color, but whether you want the top-of-the-line Joyride Run Flyknit, the intro-level Joyride Dual Run or a daily-wear favorite like the Joyride CC, there are multiple colorways available at savings up to $80 off.
If modern sneaker culture, despite all its self-professed ingenuity, still seems boring to you, grab a pair of these (while they’re still on sale).
