I thought about sitting on this until tomorrow’s weekly Thursday Sales Handful.
UPDATE: I’m a complete and utter moron. The Stan Smith and Samba have been at $56 since this past weekend, and I even mentioned them in the flippin’ Nordstrom Extra 25% off clearance post (at the very bottom). Good gravy. I can’t even remember my own posts at this point. I genuinely thought this was a new, just-launched today deal. Sorry fellas. My ol’ broth brain has gone off the boil.
Because you guys get hammered over the head with enough sneaker steal alerts. But these are price-matched. Meaning Nordstrom (or a Nordstrom customer) found these on sale somewhere else, and they’re matching that price. That also means the sale might expire without warning. Also, there have been runs on these kinda deals in the last few months. So maybe they’ll sell out. I dunno.
Was $80. Will go on sale for around $60 – $65.
Therefor $56 w/ free shipping & returns is quite a nice price.
Stan Smiths get plenty of play on this website. Some would argue too much. The Samba? That’s a little sportier. Dark gum sole. Blue logo on the tongue. Black stripes on the side. A little less versatile than the Stan Smith, but pretty slick all the same.
Apologies for another sneaker steal alert during the ongoing discounting price wars between big retailers. Forgive me if you already have sneakers coming out of your ears.
That’s all. Carry on….
…But not before I dedicate the following song to everyone who’s already got enough white retro-styled sneakers to last them a lifetime, and didn’t want to see this steal alert in their various social media feeds.
Next up in the trilogy: warming up a smart casual look.
The first of three style scenarios as we transition to warmer weather clothes.
Plus a restock (no sale) of a favorite USA assembled dive watch.
It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
