Best Clothing & Accessories for Kids and Adults at Nike’s Back to School Sale
Despite it not being August yet, back to school shopping has officially commenced, and we’re here to remind you that your kiddos need more than color-coded binders and folders before entering a new grade.
They’ll feel more confident taking this next step in their young life with the help of a closet refresh, and there’s no better destination for that than Nike: currently running an extra-25-percent-off Back to School Sale, which slashes prices on over 5,000 styles for kids and adults with the code DAYONE at checkout. The promotion ends late August.
Because the Swoosh brand is most known for its legendary footwear (shoes witnessing discounts as we speak include the ReactX Rejuven8 recovery slide; the Vomero Plus running sneaker, boosted by Nike’s most responsive cushioning system to date; and the retro-futuristic P-6000), we’re impressed to see so much top-quality apparel on its online sale shelves, with each tank, pant, and hoodie silhouette being trend-aware and performance-focused in equal measure.
Popular sizing across youth clothing picks like the Nike Sportswear Club Fleece Hoodie and the matching Club Fleece Pants is running out faster than you can say “too cool for school,” so act fast to stock up on cozy coordinates for your mini-me, allowing them to transition from lunch break to band practice in comfort and style.
