If you’re looking for a new pair of running shoes and want to get a good deal, one of the most under-the-radar places to check is Champs. The retailer has a huge collection of runners from Nike, Asics, New Balance, and others for upward of half off, but that’s nothing compared to this deal on an airy pair of Adidas running shoes that are nearly 60% off and ready to defy gravity.
The Adidas Switch FWD Running Shoes are on sale starting at just $60 at Champs, a discount of up to 57% off compared to their full price of $130. These comfortable, lightweight shoes have amassed nearly 520 five-star ratings from runners and walkers who say “they have wonderful cushioning similar to those of On Cloud or Hoka.” They come in sizes 8 to 13 in black and white and in gray, with the latter being the more affordable option.

A futuristic-looking runner, the maximally-cushioned Switch FWD works wonders for heavy-footed steppers as they absorb ground impact strikes. The unique cut-out design in the midsole compresses more easily under pressure, so as you run, it springs you forward with a nice response. Despite the high-stack cushion, these shoes remain relatively lightweight and breathable with their mesh upper. The 3D molded heel keeps your foot locked in, preventing slipping and blisters, while the stability plate throughout adds a more solid base.
“Lightweight and bouncy—like walking on clouds,” exclaimed a shopper. “These shoes are remarkably bouncy, offering a comfortable feel right out of the box.”
Another shopper said these help them “run faster and tire less.” They said, “These shoes are built to make you feel like you are floating. I almost don’t feel any pressure on my feet while running or casual walking. It’s like having a cloud to walk or run with—simply amazing.”
Such high regard stacked with an even better price, the Adidas Switch FWD Running Shoes is the model every runner should consider trying. Don’t sleep on this pair, though—pick them up before it’s too late.
