When does the Nike sale start, which code do you need, and will your shoe actually be included? Those are the questions I’d sort out before the Nike Black Friday sale goes live.
Nike’s sale is easy to get wrong. The extra codes only work on items tagged for them, the newest shoes are often left out, and many Amazon listings come from resellers charging full price or more.
My advice is to join Nike Membership before the sale, because it’s free and members got in first last year. I’d also buy on Nike.com rather than from Amazon resellers, since Nike refunds the difference if a price drops within 14 days.
Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27 and Cyber Monday on November 30. Nike hasn’t announced its US dates or codes yet, but its European stores already show Black Friday prices of 20% to 30% off.
How Nike’s Black Friday Sale Worked Last Year
Last year’s sale ran in three phases, each with its own code:
- Member early access (from about November 16): an extra 25% off selected styles with code ACCESS, for Nike Members only.
- Black Friday (to November 29): up to 50% off, plus an extra 25% with code BFRIDAY, which stacked on items already on sale.
- Cyber Monday (to December 6): an extra 25% off with code CYBER, again on top of sale prices.
These rules decide whether a code works:
- Tagged items only: the product page has to say the extra code applies.
- No stacking: only one percent-off code per order.
- Exclusions: SNKRS releases and some new launches never qualify.
- Member perks: free shipping on orders over $50, free returns within 60 days and a price adjustment within 14 days.
So the best deals stack a sale price with the extra 25%, and they land on seasonal colors far more than on the classic ones.

Best Nike Black Friday Deals
Running shoes come first, then lifestyle sneakers, training and kids’ shoes, and finally 2 hoodies.
Nike Pegasus 42
The Pegasus 42 is Nike’s everyday running shoe, and it launched in April 2026. It pairs ReactX foam with a full-length Air Zoom unit for a bouncier ride than the Pegasus 41.
- List price: $145
- Price I’d wait for: under $110
- Drop: 10mm
- Last year’s comparison: the Pegasus 41 hit $71.23 with code BFRIDAY
It’s heavy for its height, so it feels better at easy paces than fast ones. Nike’s European stores already show it at 30% off for Black Friday.
Nike Vomero 18
The Vomero 18 is Nike’s soft, high-cushion shoe for easy and long runs. It layers ZoomX foam over a ReactX base.
- List price: $155
- Black Friday 2025: $108.50 at Scheels
- Price I’d wait for: $108.50
- Colors: some special colorways cost $165
It’s a comfort shoe and feels bulky for faster runs. Some colors are already marked down on Nike.com.
Nike Vomero Plus
The Vomero Plus has a full-length ZoomX midsole and replaced the Invincible as Nike’s softest trainer. It suits runners who loved the Invincible’s bounce.
- List price: $180
- Price I’d wait for: under $135
- Replaces: the Invincible 3, which Nike.com US no longer sells
At $180, it’s pricey without a sale. It has dropped to about $108 at Nordstrom outside sale season, so I wouldn’t pay full price.
Nike Zoom Vomero 5
The Zoom Vomero 5 is the chunky retro runner people wear every day. It’s more of a style sneaker now than a running shoe.
- List price: $170
- Black Friday 2025: $127.50 at Nike.com
- Price I’d wait for: $127.50
- Kids’ version: $115 on Nike.com
Popular colorways rarely qualify for the extra code. I’d expect about 25% off on selected colors only.
Nike Air Force 1 ’07
The Air Force 1 ’07 is the classic white leather sneaker and an easy gift. Nike left its price at $115 when it raised other prices in 2025.
- List price: $115
- Black Friday 2025: $54.73 at Nike.com
- Price I’d wait for: about $86
- Last year’s deals: $54.73 for a seasonal colorway with BFRIDAY and $86 for the EasyOn version
The all-white pair rarely drops much. The deep Black Friday prices land on seasonal colors, so I’d stay flexible on color.
Nike Dunk Low Retro
The Dunk Low Retro is a leather basketball-style sneaker with a low collar. It suits shoppers who want a Dunk at about half price.
- List price: $120
- Black Friday 2025: $60.73 at Nike.com
- Price I’d wait for: under $65
- Last year’s deals: $60.73 for selected colorways with BFRIDAY, and the Panda colorway at $60.73 on Cyber Monday
Only some colorways get the deep cut, and limited or collab Dunks are excluded from codes.
Nike Air Max 90
The Air Max 90 is a retro sneaker with a visible Air unit in the heel and a waffle sole. It comes in more colors than any other Air Max.
- List price: $135
- Price I’d wait for: under $100
- Upper: leather and textile
Its discounts depend heavily on color. I’d check the product page for the extra-code tag before adding it to the cart.
Nike Air Max Dn8
The Air Max Dn8 uses Nike’s newest Air unit, with 8 tubes under the foot. It’s the most expensive sneaker here, and its list price keeps climbing.
- List price: $210
- Black Friday 2025: $101.22 on Cyber Monday with code CYBER
- Price I’d wait for: about $100
- List price history: $190 at launch, then $200, and now $210
That rising list price makes its percentage discounts look bigger than they are. Some colors already sell for $115.97, so about $100 is a fair target.
Nike Metcon 10
The Metcon 10 is Nike’s gym shoe for lifting and cross-training. It has a flat, stable heel and a wide forefoot.
- List price: $155
- Price I’d wait for: under $115
- Cheaper option: the Free Metcon 6 dropped from $125 to $94 last Black Friday
I found no Black Friday price for the Metcon 10 last year. If you mostly do classes rather than heavy lifts, the Free Metcon 6 is the cheaper pick.
Nike Air Force 1 LE (Big Kids’)
The Air Force 1 LE gives kids and teens the same look as the adult pair. It’s the Nike kids’ shoe most people buy as a gift.
- List price: $90
- Price I’d wait for: under $70
- Sizes: Big Kids’ 3.5Y to 7Y
The white pair rarely gets a deep cut, but other kids’ colorways already sell for about $60 on Nike.com.
Nike Tech Fleece Windrunner
The Tech Fleece Windrunner is Nike’s premium full-zip hoodie, made from a double-sided fleece. It’s a popular gift for teens and adults.
- List price: $145
- Price I’d wait for: under $110
- Women’s version: $140
Black and grey sell out fast and rarely get the extra code. Some colors are already marked down to $123.97.
Nike Club Pullover Fleece Hoodie
The Club Fleece hoodie is Nike’s everyday budget hoodie, with a kangaroo pocket and brushed fleece inside. It’s also the one Nike item Amazon sells directly.
- List price: $70
- Black Friday 2025: 30% off all Nike Club Fleece at DICK’S
- Price I’d wait for: under $50
- Amazon price now: about $52.50, sold by Amazon
It pills sooner than Tech Fleece. Last Cyber Monday, the full-zip version dropped to $35.23 on Nike.com, so I’d wait for the sale.
Where to Buy Nike on Black Friday
Nike.com is usually the best place, but a few other stores ran useful Nike deals last year:
- Nike.com: the deepest cuts, the stacking codes and the 14-day price adjustment for members.
- DICK’S Sporting Goods: ran November 26 to December 1, 2025, with 30% off Nike Club Fleece.
- Foot Locker: up to 50% off, or 60% online, through November 29, plus an extra 20% with code CYBER20 on Cyber Monday.
- Amazon: Nike returned to selling on Amazon in 2025, but most popular sneakers there come from resellers. Amazon itself mainly sells basics like the Club Fleece hoodie.
Nike also raised US prices in June 2025 by about $5 to $10 on many shoes, though the Air Force 1 and kids’ shoes were left out. That’s why some “was” prices look higher than you remember.
Does Nike India Have a Black Friday Sale?
Not so far. Nike’s India store moved to nike.in, run by Nykaa, in January 2026. I found no Black Friday sale there last year. Right now, the only sitewide offer is 15% off in the Nike App with code APP15.
On Amazon India, current Nike models are sold by a third-party seller. I couldn’t confirm it is Nike-authorized, so I’ve left out India buttons on this page.

Only on items tagged for it on the product page. Many full-price launches and all SNKRS releases are excluded.
Will the Air Force 1 be on sale for Black Friday?
Seasonal colors usually are, and one dropped to $54.73 last year. The all-white pair rarely gets a big cut.
Is Nike cheaper on Amazon on Black Friday?

How I’d Shop the Nike Sale
If you’re unsure when to buy, I’d join Nike Membership now and buy during early access. If the price drops on Black Friday, the 14-day price adjustment gets you the difference back.
