May is halfway through; as we approach the hottest time of the year, we are also slowly beginning to approach the Spring Sale season.
For this month’s Spring Selects, let’s highlight some great sneakers on sale—and some you can easily grab for under 100 dollars.
Nike Air Max 1- Urawa 2.0- BUY NOW
You cannot go wrong with the ever-so-classic, ever-so-timeless Air Max 1. This Urawa 2.0 pair is a tribute to a now-classic pair of Air Maxes. This time, though, the pair comes in a more versatile Pure Platinum & Black colorway. You can get these for over 50% off straight from Nike.
Solomon XT-6- Hazelnut- BUY NOW
Though the gorpcore trend has faded, it does not change the fact that Solomon puts out some really great sneakers. The XT-6 continues as the brand’s frontrunner, and for good reason. It has mastered the functionality of a hiking shoe with the comfort of a daily trainer. This sleek pair is again versatile, and you can get it on sale via Lapstone and Hammer.
Air Jordan 1 High- Cacao Wow- BUY NOW
Listen, this colorway doesn’t exactly scream “summer.” In fact, it is more or less scarf-ready. Nevertheless, it is a great colorway with great material choice on a great shoe. The Air Jordan 1 isn’t at its peak in dominance as it was prior, but there is no denying that it is a good shoe. You can currently get these on sale for 25% off via Nike by hitting the link above.
Puma Velophasis x Pleasures- BUY NOW
The Velophasis was Puma’s answer to the runner trend established in the mainstream over the past two years. This collaborative effort with Pleasures is amongst the most aesthetically tonal of colorways and is available on sale for 40% off on BODEGA.
Nike Air Penny 2 x Stussy- BUY NOW
Basketball sneakers off the court are cool again, right? Why not embrace this renascence with the Stussy-approved Air Penny 2? The pair comes in the synonymous hemp canvas that Stussy loves to utilize for their Nike Collaborations.
Speaking of the basketball sneaker resurgence- the foams comeback has been such a desired slow burn. As the swoosh continues to feed us classic colorways, you cannot go wrong with a white colorway. A model that did not typically go on sale prior is available now.

Asics Gel 1130- White/Cloud Grey- BUY NOW
The 1130 is ASICS unsung hero. It doesn’t have the attention of the Kayano 14 or the collabs the GT 2160 is getting. Still, it is perhaps even more comfortable than both of those aforementioned models and significantly cheaper. Consider this model if you are ready to dive into Asics. There is a plethora of great GR colorways.
Nike Air Presto x Hello Kitty- BUY NOW
The Presto needs no real explanation. It is, without a doubt, one of Nike’s most comfortable sneakers. There isn’t many new colorways to work with, but the now iconic Hello Kitty collab is available in several sizes via Nike. This one is for my cozy folks.
Nike Air Max Plus Drift- BUY NOW
The Air Max Drift is the younger, livelier version of the iconic Nike Air Max Tuned. The Drift has seen many crazy colorways, and this one is no exception. If you want a sneaker that is slightly off the current path, though still maintaining the comfort that comes with trendy runners, this pair is for you.
Converse 70′ x CDG Play- BUY NOW
The CDG Chuck is now well established as the crossover sneaker for sneakerhead-adjacent fashionistas. This shoe does not often go on sale, so take advantage.
New Balance 990v4- Grey- BUY NOW
The era of the 990v3 seems to be behind us now, as the v4 has taken the forefront for many New Balance 990 fans. The ever-so-classic grey colorway is now available on sale via CNCPTS.
Adidas x SneakersnStuff Harlem- BUY NOW
The Three Stripes is probably the biggest brand of the year. When it comes to picking a pair of Adidas for your rotation, there are several retro trainers to choose from. This very sleek pair of Harlems is not only a little away from the trendy low-profile Adidas shoes, but it is also cheaper at under 100 dollars.
Nike Initiator – BUY NOW
Is it a gym coach shoe? Is it a significantly cheaper alternative to the Vomero? Why not both? The Initiator has some classic colorways and is available for under 60 bucks.
