Some of the most iconic men's running shoes have gone on sale in the last month, including the Brooks Adrenaline, the Asics Gel-Kayano, and even the Saucony Triumph. Nike has also had a ton of shoes go on sale recently. And though it's probably better known for designing the best sneakers for athletes at the top of their game, the brand has a great selection of affordable athletic sneakers, including one that just dipped below $50.
Typically $75, Nike’s Experience Run 11 running shoes are now on sale for just $45—a 40% discount. These running and walking shoes have earned over 200 five-star ratings and have already sold out in one color, but the Midnight Navy is still available in sizes 7 to 14, including half sizes.

The running shoes have a decidedly understated design with a solid navy upper that's complemented by a solid white sole. The sole features grooves designed to encourage the foot’s natural movement, allowing for maximum flexibility. It’s supportive without being overly cushioned, keeping the feel very lightweight. Its low-key styling and simple features also add to its appeal as a minimalist shoe, making it a good option for daily runs or as a casual everyday sneaker for travel or days with a lot of standing and walking.
Many shoppers appreciated the Experience Run 11 as an everyday sneaker. “The perfect walking and travel shoe,” a shopper said. “This is my second pair of these. They are the perfect shoes for walking 4-5 miles a day on both hard and soft surfaces.” Similarly, another shopper called them “great everyday sneakers,” dubbing them “perfect for everyday use and light exercise.”
Despite the low price, some shoppers say they keep the pace as a solid running shoe, with one calling them, “Great for running,” adding that they’re “comfortable and lightweight.” Another wrote, “I took it on multiple runs over 5 miles and they felt just as good when I ended the run as they did at the beginning.”
Whether you’re looking for a comfortable, low-key pair of sneakers for daily errands or you want an affordable pair you can put through the wringer for daily miles, Nike’s Experience Run 11 is a great option, and it’s hard to beat at its sub-$50 price. Make sure to grab your size before they're gone for good.
