Black Friday deals abound! If you want to improve your PRs in 2026 — or are looking for a gift for the runner in your life — there are a ton of early Black Friday Asics deals at Amazon .
Asics makes some of the best running shoes on the market, including the excellent Asics Novablast 5 on sale from $129 . (We used to rank these as the best running shoes before the newer Novablast 6 came along.) We gave the Novablast 5 a 4-star rating and said it was perfect for beginner runners thanks to its comfortable cushioning, lightweight design and smooth feel underfoot. It's also relatively affordable with this discount.

Women's Novablast 4: was $140 now $68 Old but gold. While the Novablast 6 is now available, the Novablast 4 is beloved by the Tom's Guide team — especially our Fitness Editor Jane McGuire, who wrote: "I've run over 100 miles in this shoe, and it's still one I reach for when I'm heading out for a long run." View Deal

Versablast 4 Running Shoes (Women's): was $80 now $69 Packed with Amplifoam+ cushioning, the Asics Versablast 4 are built to be both soft and responsive — and are now a steal with this discount. The Cream/Hazy Lilac colorway is gorgeous, too. View Deal
Gel-Pulse 16 (Women's): was $100 now $73 This is one of the cheaper Asics running shoe deals you'll find, so this shoe is definitely worth a purchase. However, stock is limited, so act fast! It's regarded as a comfy and versatile sneaker that suits neutral runners in particular. View Deal

Gel-Cumulus 27 (Women's): was $140 now $89 The Asics Gel-Cumulus 27 often gets overlooked because of the popularity of the Novablast and Gel-Nimbus lines, but it's usually available for less than those shoes, and it's a comfortable, fairly lightweight daily trainer in its own right. We've tested the newer Gel-Cumulus 28 model, and it's not a major update on the 27, so this deal on the older shoe is much better value. View Deal
Gel-Pulse 17 Running Shoes (Women's): was $105 now $89 This discount on the Asics Gel-Pulse 17 running shoes brings their price well under $100! They're equipped with a mesh upper for breathability, responsive FF Blast cushioning and shock-absorbing rear gel. View Deal
