That iconic comfy, chunky sneaker worn by dads and supermodels all across the globe, sparking a huge “ugly sneaker” trend, is currently 40% off. That sneaker, of course, would be the New Balance 990v4. The shoes, originally worn by suburban dads coaching middle-school football, are now what models like Kendall Jenner have been sporting to grab coffee. And while high-fashion brands like Balenciaga have come out with their own, disgustingly expensive versions of the dad sneaker, there ain’t nothing like the real thing — especially when the OG is $800 cheaper.
Of course, the sneakers aren’t beloved solely for their looks; they’re also crazy comfortable, featuring top-notch cushioning, a removable foam insole, and a breathable fabric lining.

Unfortunately, the sizing is limited in colors that aren’t pink (not that we’re knocking pink). So if you’re willing to shell out a few more dollars for the sake of the clout (and comfort), may we recommend browsing the selection of the New Balance 990v5s — the successor to the v4s, but with an even more pillowy feel.
