Why We Love This Deal
Surf and skate brands have been supplying some of the hottest pick-ups this month at, of all places, Nordstrom Rack. We're talking sandals, sun hoodies, and now sneakers: Men’s Journal just uncovered a deal on a low-profile skate shoe that has a certain air of classic Vans. And the best part? They’re just $20.
The Quiksilver Varial Sneaker is 56% off at Nordstrom Rack right now. Quiksilver is known for its sun-defeating and water-repelling clothes for surfers and beachcombers, and that energy is translating really well here in one of its casual skate products.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From 8 to 14
- Color: Black
- Materials: Suede upper, textile lining, rubber sole
- Best Use Case: This is a relaxed shoe made for stylishly relaxed men.
The art of being relaxed has been much maligned in recent years, with the ever-present grindset at the forefront of life. So, if you need some help remembering how to look the part, take a pair of Varials for a spin.
The upper is made of a soft black suede sharpened only by the white midsole, trim, and laces. It’s a shoe that breathes leisure and just can’t go with your office wear, and honestly, that’s something to be thankful for.
Its outsole is wavy, providing just enough grip as you go about your business. And truth be told, it’s my only gripe about the shoe. No, not because I prefer the Vans waffle, but because after I’ve seen the incredibly cool logo impression outsole on Quiksilver’s flip flops, I want to see them everywhere. All jokes aside, this shoe’s outsole is hardy, making the Quiksilver Varial an incredibly solid sneaker where it counts without ever getting in the way of style.

One last thing: This shoe is available in full sizes only. Don’t worry, trust the process, and round your size up if you’re a true half-sizer. This shoe was built for casual hangs and made this way on purpose. Just tighten the laces a little tighter than usual, and you’ll be on your way without a second thought.
The Quiksilver Varial Sneaker is down to $20 right now. It’s labelled with a small “New” tag at Nordstrom Rack, so you might think this means you have some time before this deal disappears. And you wouldn’t be totally wrong about that, but when a shoe hits $20, the moment shoppers find out about it, it’s an absolute field day at the checkout line. Don’t assume your size is going to wait for you to make a purchase.
