Amazon Prime Day is happening now through June 26, offering Prime members exclusive discounts on sneakers. Some of the top deals include 43% off running shoes from Adidas and 32% off New Balance cross trainers.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a commerce editor for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day sneaker deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months.
I’ll frequently update this list throughout Amazon Prime Day, so check back daily for new additions.

The best Prime Day sneaker deals for men
Along with deep discounts on running shoes, walking shoes and more, an Amazon Prime membership gets you perks, like fast, free shipping, so be sure to sign up for a 30-day free trial if you’re not already a member.
The Nike Men’s Air Max Excee brings throwback ‘90s running style into everyday wear. The soles of these shoes have visible air cushioning for all-day comfort and the shoes have lightweight mesh uppers for breathability. The low-top sneakers also have a padded collar to add support to the ankle area.
Another ‘90s-inspired sneaker, these are intended for casual wear and have extra cushioning at the midsoles for comfort. The suede uppers give the shoes a luxe feel and a rubber toe cap prevents wear and tear in that area.
The New Balance Fresh Foam 520 v9 is a reliable everyday running shoe that delivers soft, cushioned landings thanks to extra foam at the midsole. The shoe also has a breathable mesh upper to keep your foot cool and a durable rubber outsole for longwear.
Think of this sneaker as a lightweight, no-frills running shoe built for everyday training. The breathable mesh upper keeps the foot cool and comfortable, while the responsive cushioning in the midsole delivers a smooth, energized glide.
This running shoe for men has extra padding in the sole and a molded footbed for comfort and responsiveness, according to the brand. The upper is made from breathable mesh and a sock liner adds support. It comes in regular and extra wide widths and goes up to a size 17.5.
This basketball-inspired high-top has a leather upper and a clean, retro look. The collar is padded for support and the rubber soles provide traction on slick gym floors. These sneakers can actually be worn for playing basketball (not just for looking cool) and for casual wear.
The Saucony Men’s Ride 18 is a reliable everyday running shoe with a responsive sole — meaning the sole provides energy return to help propel you forward. The sneaker also has a breathable upper that keeps the foot cool and secure. There is also ample cushioning, making these shoes good for longer runs.
The Cole Haan Men’s Grand Crosscourt is a polished sneaker that serves your needs whether you want to be more casual or look dressed-up. The clean leather upper gives it a refined, court-inspired look and the sneakers have the comfortable cushioning Cole Haan is known for. Wear them with jeans for a slightly dressy look or slacks for a cool twist.
The best Prime Day sneaker deals for women
These sneakers have something called saddle panels on either side of the foot that connect with the laces, which provides extra support and a customized fit, according to New Balance. They also have molded heel cups for stability — this makes them a nice choice for the side-to-side motions you may do during workouts. The shoes also have mesh uppers for breathability.
The Nike Women’s Journey Run is a lightweight, everyday road running shoe built for comfort. It features a foam midsole for responsive cushioning and a breathable mesh upper to keep the foot cool. With a supportive fit and durable rubber outsole, shoppers call this sneaker reliable, comfortable and versatile.
Adidas is known for their court-inspired casual sneakers like this one. The Bravada offers a spin on that classic style with a platform sole that gives you height. The shoe also has a durable canvas upper that is easily cleaned by throwing it into the washing machine. Wear it with summer dresses, jean shorts or flowy culottes.
Another casual option, the Reebok Princess is modeled after the brand’s iconic ‘80s tennis shoes. The low-top sneaker has a clean leather upper that’s sleek and durable. But these sneakers aren’t just stylish, shoppers say they have lots of cushioning for comfort and are breathable.
The Saucony Women’s Endorphin Shift 3 has what the brand calls max-cushioning for long runs or days spent on your feet (think long shifts at a hospital or waiting tables). Nurses who are on their feet all day recommend them. Plus, the sole has a rocker shape that propels you forward with every stride and the upper is lightweight and breathable.
These classic Keds have a canvas upper that is lightweight and great for warm days. The insole is lightly cushioned to provide comfort. The low-profile shoe is timeless and can be worn with everything from floaty dresses to linen shorts.
If you are on the hunt for an effortless slip-on, look no further than these sneakers from Skechers. You can put these on without using your hands, thanks to construction that pops the heel back up after you slide your foot in. A lightweight mesh upper keeps feet cool and breathable, while the memory foam insole molds to your foot for customized support.
