Sneakers

So Many Sneakers
Save Up to 70%: Sneakersnstuff’s annual Fall Sneaker Sale is upon us, and it is a behemoth. A collection of nearly 600 sneakers from Nike (including various colorways of the Air Max 270, one of the biggest releases of the year), Adidas, Saucony, New Balance, Brooks, Converse, Vans and a dozen more, the sale went live yesterday, but there’s still plenty of options with full (or near full) size run available. Styles range from flashy to low-key, and deals from 30 to 70 percent off. Make sure to switch sizing and delivery to US, and happy shopping. — Will Price

LG C8 65-inch OLED TV (2018)
Save $1,500: LG’s 2018 C8 series of 4K OLED TVs are expensive. When they were released this past spring, a 65-inch model was going for $3,500. A few months later, however, that price has dropped over to around $2,997 — that’s over $1,500 off. But today eBay is running a deal on a brand-new C8 for $2,009 – that’s almost $1,500 off. Yes, it’s still expensive, but it’s not that bad considering that we’re talking about LG’s top-of-the-line 4K OLED TV. And LG makes the best 4K OLED TVs. — Tucker Bowe

eBay

Allbirds Wool Runners
Save 33%: Allbirds’ second shoe, called Tree, has an upper made of eucalyptus pulp and laces made of recycled plastic bottles. Its latest is a reimagined sole made of a material it calls SweetFoam, which is made mostly of sugarcane and is billed to be the first carbon-negative EVA (the foam material that gives running shoes their signature bounce and cushion). But it’s still Allbirds’ first shoe, the Wool Runners, that are most often spotted in airports, offices and every place in between. They’re supremely comfortable and light, and at the moment they’re also on sale at eBay for 33 percent off in three colors. — Tanner Bowden

ARCTERYX

Arc’Teryx Atom LT Hoody Sale
Save 35%: We call it the Best Do-It-All jacket, and it’s simply the best in design and function for us. As a no-frills insulation layer, it shines, no matter how many excursions you take. Abrasion- and wind-resistant increase your output as an athlete, and if you want to wear it apres, no one is stopping you. Today it’s on sale for 35 percent off the original price. One might call it a steal: just $168 for a jacket that’s usually $259. — Meg Lappe

Backcountry

Prana Mojo Shorts
Save 45%: Nobody likes buying shorts. We wear them when the weather gets so warm that pants become intolerable, or for active pursuits like running and hiking. In either case, the purchase is made more out of necessity than desire (like the kind we harbor for things like selvage denim blue jeans). A quality pair can be expensive, too. Prana’s Mojo Short is typically pricey at $50, but they’re currently marked down by 45% to just $27 at Backcountry. — Tanner Bowden

Barton

Barton Bands
Save 15%: Barton Bands produces some reasonably priced options and, what’s more, is offering a 15 percent discount if you buy three straps or more and use the code WATCHTOBERFEST18. Pick between canvas, rubber, nylon, leather and more, and you can even get some quick-release options that cut out the need for a spring bar tool. — Andrew Connor

Minnetonka

Minnetonka Slippers
Save 44%: For crisp mornings and frigid nights, the simple pleasure of a cozy pair of slippers is hard to beat. If you’re in need of a new pair for fall, Nordstrom Rack has a deal well worth checking out. You can currently save up to 44 percent on Minnetonka lined moccasin slippers. Made with suede uppers and rubber soles, these comfy styles cost as little as $25. — John Zientek
