Browsing Nordstrom's sale section is singlehandedly responsible for making me a sneakerhead. Last year alone, I scored Taylor Swift's New Balance 1906Rs and Dakota Johnson's Nike V2Ks, both for upwards of $30 off. Now, my 2026 is off to a similar start: Nordstrom marked down Jennifer Lawrence's Adidas Taekwondo Sneakers, all but pushing the "Add to Cart" button for me.
Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale won't return until this summer, but with some free time and determination, I scored the aforementioned sneakers for 50 percent off. On any given Wednesday, the low-profile, slip-on Taekwondos would set me back $100. Out of the kindness of its heart, Nordstrom made the lace-free, leather trainers on Lawrence's shoe rack just $50. (I feel like I owe the retailer at least a "thank you" card.)
