Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: If you’ve been holding out for deals on your favorite Nike sneakers, apparel, or sports accessories, then get ready for their upcoming annual After Christmas Sale. Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect this year, when the sale starts, what’s likely to be included, and how to make the most of it.
When Does the Sale Start?
Nike’s After Christmas Sale is expected to kick off online at nike.com on December 25, 2024. The sale is expected to run into early January 2025, while in-stock supplies last.
It’s important to note that this event will be available online only for U.S. customers. Unlike some other Nike sales, you won’t find these deals in physical Nike stores or outlet locations.
What’s on Sale?
If this year’s sale is anything like previous years, we’re expecting up to 50% off on select items from Nike’s inventory. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to find:
1. Shoes
- Sneakers are always a key feature of the sale. You’ll likely find discounts on everything from running shoes and basketball sneakers to lifestyle shoes and trainers.
- Look out for popular models like the Air Max, React, and Pegasus series, which are often included in the markdowns.
- Some less-hyped styles and older colorways tend to see the steepest discounts, so it’s worth checking for hidden gems.
2. Apparel
- Expect to see markdowns on a variety of apparel items, including hoodies, leggings, running shorts, and workout tees.
- Seasonal gear, like winter jackets, thermals, and fleece pullovers, could also be included, making this a great time to stock up on cold-weather essentials.
- Team apparel and fan gear, like items branded with NBA or NFL logos, may also feature in the sale.
3. Accessories
- Accessories like socks, hats, backpacks, and gym bags are often included in Nike’s After Christmas Sale. These items tend to be more affordable and can make great additions to your workout wardrobe or gear collection.
How Big Are the Discounts?
Nike typically offers up to 50% off during its After Christmas Sale. While not every item will be discounted this heavily, you can expect a wide range of markdowns across the board.
- Shoes and apparel tend to have discounts ranging from 20% to 50% off, depending on the style, popularity, and availability.
- Clearance items often see the deepest price cuts, but sizes and colorways may be limited.
With over 4,000 items likely to appear on Nike’s sale page, there’s plenty to choose from, but it also means you’ll need to sift through the options to find the best deals.
Exclusions to Watch Out For
While the After Christmas Sale is a great time to save, some items are typically excluded. Based on past sales, here are some categories and products that may not be discounted:
- New releases and high-demand sneakers, such as Jordan Retros or limited-edition collaborations.
- Items from Nike’s Member Exclusive collections.
- Gift cards and certain high-tech products, like Apple Watch Nike editions.
If you’re hoping to score a deal on a recent release or hyped-up drop, this sale might not be the best place to find it. However, older styles and more general-release items are usually heavily discounted.
