The winter sale at Footshop is in progress. At the time of writing these lines, we’ve already discounted 6,562 products, which is great news, but I believe not everyone has the time to browse through such so many potential bargains. I’m paid for that time, and that’s why I can present to you 27 hidden gems from our sale where the “save half” is just the beginning.

Of course, you’ll find mostly sneakers on the list, but there’s also clothing or original accessories. I’ve tried to choose all the products based on the amount of discount, the number of sizes available and their cultural relevance – so you don’t have to worry that I’ve pulled some century-old pieces from the attic of our warehouse, you’ll also find releases that are just a few weeks old. So kick off your 2023 with a bargain that will safely get you through the 12 months ahead.

FOOTSHOP X SOULLAND ‘TOLERANCE RELEVANCE’ -70 %

Our collection with the Scandinavian brand Soulland was all about tolerance and relevance. One simply doesn’t work without the other, and the same relationship will apply to you and this scarf when you first put it on.

VANS VAULT OG CHUKKA BOOT LX -60 %

New York studio LQQK has taken its approach to Vans’ OG Chukka Boot silhouette, and right now you can get their reference for 60% off.

VANS VAULT OG STYLE 24 LX (CANVAS) -70 %

Floral patterns are a must on grey city streets. You can brighten them up with this original silhouette from the top-of-the-line Vans Vault division for almost free.

VANS VAULT X TAKA HAYASHI DIY LOW LX (H&L) -70 %

Taka Hayashi knows how to work with Vans sneakers like no one else – and that’s not the only reason he’s done dozens of collaborations with the Californian brand. In this case, though, he’s letting you have a completely free hand because the sneakers come with a set of Velcro stickers so you can customize your Old Skools every day depending on how you’re feeling.

NIKE NSW ESSENTIAL WOVEN JACKET HBR -60 %

A great and aesthetic women’s classic that you get now and won’t take off for years. Not just because it will last all those years, but mainly because it fits just about every season.

CONVERSE REVERSIBLE SHERPA JACKET -60 %

For 40% of the original price, you get two jackets in this case. On one side is a nice fur, on the other a smooth polyester for when it starts to rain or you just want to change your style a little.

RAF SIMONS DOUBLE BREASTED BLAZER -65 %

To buy a premium coat from the world’s leading designer and save your entire paycheck on it? That’s the kind of story the Footshop sale can tell. Will this one be yours?

HELMUT LANG MASC TRUCKER JACKET -70 %

A unique designer piece from Helmut Lang, for which you won’t pay even a third of the original price, is online in the last sizes – so don’t be afraid to let your emotions run wild, because it might not be here tomorrow.

CALVIN KLEIN JEANS MONOGRAM SLEEVE BADGE CN -60 %

Having a chic crewneck that can be worn with just about everything is an essential staple piece of any wardrobe. Add it to yours and get this one from Calvin Klein at 60% off.

WHITE MOUNTAINEERING MILITARY BLOUSON JACKET -70 %

We’re getting to my personal favourite. In terms of money saved over the original price on one product, this ultra multifunctional tactical vest from White Mountaineering is a record breaker on Footshop. And you can steal that record for yourself – and I mean it because at this price it’s nothing short of a steal.

NIKE ACG AIR DESCHUTZ -40 %

We may have winter, but we still need to think ahead. In light of the other discounts, I’m showing you here, 40% may not seem like much. But since this is a piece I ordered myself and I believe I’ll never get it cheaper anywhere, I had to show you it too. Plus there are other colourways on sale, so click through and pick yours.

NIKE BLAZER LOW X ACRONYM -50 %

The fact that these sneakers aren’t for everyone may be true, but those who find themselves in this ode to techwear will save half the original price right off the bat. Acronym is an absolute icon in its industry, so move it to your, now iconic, shoe closet.

NIKE WMNS AIR MAX 97 OG -45 %

Sneakers inspired by Japanese high-speed trains returned in style last year. The wide range of colours included the very original ones, which you can now get in a women’s version almost for free.

NIKE AIR KUKINI -40 %

You have to find a relationship with these sneakers – but once you do, it’s firm and reliable. The unique design of the Nike Air Kukini can now be yours with 40% off.

VANS VAULT SK8-HI VR3 LX (IMRAN POTATO) -40 %

When asked about the best Vans release from last year in our office, or anywhere else with the presence of sneakerheads, most will agree on the Imran Potato collaboration. Click through and explore all sides of the sneaker I thought would have sold out long ago.

ASICS GEL-LYTE III OG -40 %

Ask me for the most underrated silhouette and I’ll answer the Asics Gel-Lyte III. One of the most comfortable sneakers in my shoe closet is now available in fantastic OG colourways at 40% off. Take this as an excellent personal recommendation – order the sneakers, try them on and you’ll know what I’m talking about. That’s one of many reasons these won’t be the only GL IIIs on this list.

FOOTSHOP X KANGAROOS ULTIMATE 3 “NOCTURNA” -55 %

The third and for me personally best sneaker from our collaboration with KangaROOS is full of great details. But what puts these sneakers on a whole other level is their quality. See for yourself, it won’t cost you half the original price.

VANS VAULT X WACKO MARIA OG AUTHENTIC LX -70 %

Letting this Vans collaboration with Tokyo recording studio Wacko Maria should be illegal. Especially when you see the price of it.

ASICS X AWAKE GEL-LYTE III OG -40 %

I promised there would be another Gel-Lyte III here. This time, I want to introduce them to you in a zen collaboration with Awake that includes two other original colourways besides this green one. So click and pick the one that speaks to you the most.

VANS VAULT OG OLD SKOOL LX -45 %

If you’re into classic Old Skools, this is exactly what you’re looking for. In this Vault version, they’re made of better materials, have an original print on the side to set you apart, and with a 45% discount, they cost even less than the classic ones. Click through and explore them from every angle.

VANS VAULT AUTHENTIC ONE PIECE LX (EMBROIDERED) -55 %

A comfortable Ultracush insole, an original checkerboard motif, and once again the higher quality of the Vans Vault division. With 55% off, these Vans will be gone in no time, just don’t tell me l kept them away from you later.

ADIDAS ZX 8000 MINIMALIST -60 %

How to stay sleek, clean and original and not pay even half the price? This special treatment of the ZX 8000 is the answer you’re looking for. So don’t hesitate too long – someone else may soon be asking the same question.

VANS BOLD NI -70 %

The Vans Bold deserves a lot more love than it gets compared to other Vans models. These are only for 30% of the original price now, so prove to them that they have nothing to worry about.

ASICS X AFEW GT-II -45 %

Last year’s Asics collaboration with AFEW was interlinked with the theme of mindfulness. The result was two colourways of the GT-II, which you can still catch with a super discount.

ADIDAS NIZZA HI RF W -70 %

These are the cheapest sneakers on the entire list. If you want one all-white, sleek and high quality, I wouldn’t look elsewhere – so hopefully your size will still be online.

HAT A.P.C. BOB ALEX BUCKET -60 %

A premium accessory from the French A.P.C. always adds a touch of elegance. And that elegance has never been more affordable.

HUF X PLEASURES SANFORD CLOCK -50 %
