The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has finally arrived, and I, for one, cannot wait to invest in a new pair of ON Running sneakers. During the epic sale, Nordy Club members can score incredible deals on best-selling brands like ON Running to refresh their wardrobes ahead of fall. The sale start dates are broken into tiers, with Icon members, or those who have spent $15,000 or more at Nordstrom in the last year, gaining first access, but anyone can add these sales to their wishlist so they can jump on them as soon as their tier opens up. (P.S. You can still sign up to become a cardmember and gain instant Influencer status.) These are the dates to keep in mind so you don’t miss out on the best deals:

Icons: July 9 through August 4
Ambassadors: July 10 through August 4
Influencers: July 11 through August 4
Public: July 15 through August 4

As for why ON is at the top of my wishlist, the brand has been recommended to me so many times by avid runners and gym aficionados that I think it's finally time I see what all the fuss is about—especially since so many top styles are included in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. Rachel Gulmi, PureWow's operations director of branded content, is an avid walker who says, “I have the classic Cloud 5 sneakers (was $140; now $105) and I’ve loved those so much, I decided to get a second pair in a sportier style.

Other fans of the brand rave about just how comfortable the sneakers are for a wide range of activities. While the Cloudstratus style Gulmi mentioned isn't part of the Anniversary Sale, there are similar super-cushioned options marked down, like the Cloud X 3 (was $150; now $112), for those who want extra support while lifting at the gym.

As Gulmi noted, you don’t have to be a runner to reap the benefits of ON Running’s most popular styles. Case in point, this review from a Nordstrom customer after wearing the Cloud X 3 sneakers. “I have Plantar Fasciitis and found these at Nordstrom. They are the best shoes I’ve ever had. I strongly recommend them to anyone.”

Convinced? Here are the top 9 ON Running sneakers to snap up during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
