Nordstrom Rack Has Early Black Friday Deals Up to 92% Off

If Santa’s workshop were a real-life place, we think it’d be a Nordstrom Rack. The retailer is constantly amazing us with their roster of designer brands and travel must-haves for less, so much so that sometimes we have to question if there’s actual magic happening behind the scenes. 

Their Early Black Friday sale is promising to be just as impressive, with more than 17,000 deals. We’re seeing up to 92 percent off expandable checked luggage, multi-pocket travel backpacks, matching lounge sets, and so much more. Keep reading to see the 30 can’t-miss pieces we’re snagging nearly a week before Black Friday officially kicks off. One friendly piece of advice—if any of these deals catch your eye, run, run, Rudolph them into your shopping cart because they’re sure to go fast.

Skechers Slip-Ins Mark Nason Sneaker

Nordstrom Rack

When you’re on the go, you don’t want to mess with lace-up sneakers or pairs that make your feet ache after a short time. Instead, consider these Skechers Slip-Ins that are so easy to put on and take off. They have the brand’s air-cooled memory foam insoles that provide custom comfort for all-day wear, and one fan said they love that they’re “versatile and attractive with all my travel apparel.” Plus, they feel “great out of the box.”

Ugg Classic Slipper

Nordstrom Rack

This clog slipper from Ugg typically sells out, and with 2,500 reviews, we expect that to be the case today, too.  You can wear them inside and outdoors thanks to their rugged sole, and the genuine sterling lining also makes them so cozy. One person admitted that they’re ordering a second pair just to have a “future backup.” Grab them in black, chestnut, sand, and dark brown.
