Why We Love This Deal
Foot Locker is in the middle of a sale on top-selling sneakers, allowing shoppers to take an extra 20% off select items by using code TAKE20 at checkout. There are many great picks from New Balance, Nike, and others to choose from, but this deal might be one of the sweetest on the site: Right now, a pair of stylish run-inspired Asics sneakers is available for just $100.
The Asics Gel-Kinetic Fluent is on sale for $100, a massive 44% discount from its normal price of $180. Interestingly, this model isn't eligible for the extra discount, but it still beats the sale price at Asics, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Champs, and anywhere else we’ve seen. It’s rare to find a pair of Asics shoes on sale for 30% off, let alone with a discount above 40%—and that makes this deal particularly noteworthy. As you’d expect, shoppers are all over it, and some sizes have already sold out. If you want a pair, you'd better grab ‘em fast.

Asics describes the Gel-Kinetic Fluent as a running-inspired sneaker, calling on stability running shoe designs of the 2010s (are the 2010s retro already?). While they’re not designed for serious running workouts, they are a great pick for walking and casual wear, and they’ll inject a dose of sporty style into your athleisure or streetwear outfits.
Despite the casual focus, these shoes still utilize some well-known Asics tech in the midsole. The sole features FlyteFoam Blast Plus cushioning, a springy, soft, and lightweight material, along with Gel, the squishy gel-like layer that Asics has made famous for absorbing impacts.
Both materials are used in some of Asics’ best running shoes, like the Gel-Cumulus. A Trusstic frame supports your feet and guides them through each step, and up top, a mesh upper with swooping overlays creates a breathable feel with plenty of throwback style.
