Pro tip: Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is the perfect place to stock up on celebrity-approved sneaker trends. Last summer, I scored Hailey Bieber's favorite New Balances for under $90. Fast forward to Nordstrom's biggest sale of 2026, and I went straight for Puma Speedcat sneakers well-worn by Bella Hadid, Sophie Turner, and Rihanna.
Over the weekend, the athletic label's best-selling style became the star of Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. In 1999, Puma Speedcats debuted as fireproof footwear for Formula 1 drivers. Years later, they've acquired It-shoe status with A-listers and sneakerheads alike, while staying true to the low-profile silhouette, suede toe boxes, and racing-inspired striped sidewalls. In 2024, they rose to the highest ranks of popularity, becoming one of fashion search engine Lyst's "hottest items" of the year. Now, thanks to Nordstrom, the shoes are available at a discount of $79.99 (down from $110).
