We've got there, runners! It's Black Friday weekend. We made it, and I hope you're as ready as I am for even more running shoe deals to materialise over the next few days. Brace yourself for tip-top offers on trainers from all the best brands out there.

For most people, the best Black Friday deals are connected to offers on tech and entertainment, but it's also a good time to shop for running and training shoes and apparel. If you need to update your shoe rotation or just want to get a new pair of trainers, now is the time to shop around.

This is the sixth Black Friday I've done for T3, and trust me when I say that most of the best running shoes and best workout shoes will be on offer in November. Last year, we saw the Nike Alphafly 2 drop to an all-time low; we also witnessed many top-ticket brands, such as Adidas, On, and Hoka, drop the price of the most sought-after models.

I've included some of the highlights from each brand below—these will be updated as we go along. I'll also post more deals as stories below from all retailers and brands I can find. Of course, since this is T3, I'll focus on quality deals; you know where to find the cheap stuff.

Buckle up, friends, as there are plenty of running shoe deals and trainer sales to go through! Let's get going.

I'm a bit on the fence about the NOOSA TRI 15's colour. I kind of like it, but I also feel it's way over the top. One thing is for sure: ASICS' triathlete runners are instantly recognisable. This vegan-friendly shoe is £41 off for Black Friday, which means you can own a fresh pair for less than £100. Deal!

Sometimes, you must go off the beaten path to find the best deals on trail running shoes. I went all the way to ASOS for a good Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX offer, but it was worth it! The price is down to £94.24, which is better than what you'd get if you bought them in Nike's Black Friday sale. Better still, they are available in almost all sizes. Check it out before it's gone.

Hoka Skyward X review

Morning, runners, to another glorious day of running shoe Black Friday deals! I came bearing presents, as I just found what looks like the best Hoka Skyward X deal currently available on the internet. Outdoor retailer AlpineTrek is the place to be for running shoe deals, with the Skyward X selling for £166.46, just under £20 off RRP. This doesn't sound much, but it really is the best deal I could find; the shoes are sold for full price everywhere!

They're available in all sizes, too! This green colourway might not be to everyone's taste, but that doesn't take away from the fact the shoes perform exceptionally well on the trails.

Unlocking a new dimension

adidas 4dfwd price release date

The Adidas 4DFWD is a unique running shoe, featuring a 3D-printed midsole made from light, essentailly, using lasers and probably magic. It's not the lightest running trainer and I also found them a bit tight, but there is no doubt about the 4DFWD being a unique part of the running shoe universe. It's 100% worth a look especially for this price!
