Miss out on this year’s Memorial Day Weekend sales? Don’t stress—the Nordstrom half-yearly sale is on through June 1 with deals up to 60% off. It’s not quite on the same level as the retailer’s anniversary sale (watch for that later this summer), but, with markdowns on some of our favorite brands (hello, Nike, Spanx, Hoka, and New Balance), it’s definitely a worthy warm-up. Shop our top picks from the sale below, including comfy sneakers, sleek activewear, and highly useful accessories.

Best sneaker dealsNike

Air Pegasus

If the coveted Nike V2K is sold out in your size, go for this retro sport-style version of the brand’s best-selling Pegasus instead.

Hoka

Arahi 7

A stability running shoe that’s actually lightweight? Hoka makes that dream a reality with the Arahi 7. It’s great for overpronators as well as folks with flat feet. (Heads up, though: It runs narrow.)

New Balance

550 Basketball Sneaker

Throw it back to 1989 with this reissued New Balance. We love how its neutral colorways offset its sporty vibes—they’ll look right at home on the court or the street.

Saucony

ProGrid Omni 9 Sneaker

Multiple SELF staffers love the ProGrid Omni 9, and it’s easy to see why: It’s just chunky enough, supercomfy, and the perfect gateway to the wonderful world of dad shoes.

Nike

Motiva Gore-Tex Road Running Shoe

Don’t call off your run because of a little rain—just slip on these waterproof, rocker-soled runners and hit the road.

Converse

Run Star Trainer Sneaker

If you don’t already have a go-to summer sneaker at the ready, make Converse’s Run Star Trainer your pick. It’s low-key, classic, and it’ll look adorable with sundresses.

Saucony

Ride Millennium Sneaker

The Ride Millenium, my personal favorite grandpa-chic Saucony model, is selling out fast, so don’t wait to snag your size and get in on the trend.

Cole Haan

Grandpro Max Platform Sneaker

Whether you’re headed to the office or brunch, you can’t go wrong with a casual platform sneak. SELF staffers love Cole Haan’s Grandpro line for its seamless, streamlined look and all-day comfort.

Best activewear dealsZella

Studio Luxe Performance Jacket

Stretchy, sweat-wicking, and incredibly sleek, this Zella jacket is an ideal layer for chilly mornings and post-gym commutes.

Spanx

Get Moving Contour Crossback Shelf Tank

Don’t sleep on Spanx’s activewear—it’s super functional and made to last. The Get Moving Contour Crossback Shelf Tank, specifically, will quickly earn a place in your rotation of yoga and Pilates gear.

Rhone

DreamGlow Joggers

Long travel days, tough workouts, and loungey days at home are all enhanced with a good pair of joggers, like Rhone’s ultrasoft DreamGlow pair.

Zella

Studio Luxe High Waist Pocket 7/8 Leggings

Zella’s top-selling leggings (which, ahem, have pockets) always sell out during Nordstrom sales, so hop to it if you could use a fresh pair (or three).

Beyond Yoga

Street Smart Johnny Collar Fleece Sweatshirt

We love a roomy, plush sweatshirt always. But we adore one like Beyond Yoga’s Street Smart Johnny Collar Fleece V-neck, which checks those boxes and looks cute enough to wear outside the house.

Rhone

Banded Hi-Form Sports Bra

This low-impact bra is made with antimicrobial material to keep sweaty stink at bay. In other words, it was pretty much made for your next hot yoga class.

Spanx

Airpiqué Straight Leg Pants

Ease your way into baggy, wide-leg activewear with these Spanx track pants. They give you room to move without feeling too voluminous.

Beyond Yoga

New Moves Space Dye Crop Camisole

We’re stocking up on cropped tanks for summer workouts, and we’d be remiss if we skipped this Beyond Yoga cami. It’s made with the brand’s acclaimed Space Dye fabric and has cute, old-school piping for flair.

Best accessory dealsOsprey

Arcane 18-Liter Waterproof Roll Top Backpack

Osprey’s probably best known for its hiking packs, but it makes plenty of everyday bags that’ll upgrade your commutes too, including the Arcane roll-top, which holds an impressive amount of stuff.

Lands’ End

Open Top Long Handle Canvas Tote Bag

If you didn’t pile your towels, book, sunscreen, and cover up into a sturdy canvas bag, did you really go to the beach? You won’t have to worry about having enough space with this Land’s End tote.

Carhartt

Jake Canvas Hip Bag

Need more canvas in your life? Carhartt’s Jake hip bag is durable and perfect for holding your most essential items.

Tory Burch

Virginia Nylon Belt Bag

If you ask us, a luxe belt bag makes a great treat for yourself. It’s practical but still special and a little splurgy.

Zella

Two Pocket Belt Bag

Zella’s budget-friendly Two Pocket Belt Bag comes in four key neutral colors, so you never have to go without it.

Baboon to the Moon

Triangle Tote 18L

When you have to lug a ton of stuff but want to spare your shoulders hours of aching, you need a bag like this one. It’s super spacious and simple to pack, but easy to carry (oh, and it’s a whopping 50% off).
