Not just smartphones with stellar promotions, not just electric shavers and scooters. The Amazon Prime Day 2022 is also the festival of men’s athletic shoes and sneakers on sale, giving us the opportunity to bring home a long list of evergreen proposals with truly interesting offers. With brands like Diadora, Puma, and New Balance offering some of their most beautiful models at a discount during Amazon’s summer promotion festival, making them among the possible smartest purchases of this Prime Day.
So, for example, wandering among the best ongoing deals, you can come across the always trendy Puma Smash V2 L, then land among the laces of the New Balance 373 Core which shine in a wonderful version in shades of gray. Along with them, a series of Nike, adidas, Vans, & Co proposals ranging smoothly from a more expressly sporty mood to a more relaxed casual sneaker. Below, we have already put together a selection of our current favorites: check the size, measure your foot if necessary, and then try to take advantage of these last hours of Prime Day to make the deal of the month. There’s only time until midnight.
