My aunt and I have pretty opposite styles and preferences when it comes to clothing. While I tend to lean minimalist, she prefers maximalism. Another way we're different is where I have a closet with only one pair of sneakers for the gym, it's one of her favorite items to buy, and she has quite the collection. As a busy mom, and since she knows I online shop for work, she'll sometimes text me with shopping requests. This time, she asked me to go through the Zappos sale (20% off with code FALL20) and send her the best on-sale sneakers before the discounts end tomorrow, September 29.
Knowing her taste, there were a few things I started scanning for as I scrolled: colorful options, animal prints, interesting silhouettes, and unique details—options she wouldn't deem "boring." I knew she'd appreciate Adidas's Mary Jane sneakers, silver Pumas, and cheetah-print Reeboks. For a designer option, I had a feeling she'd want to see the pink-and-red satin ones from Marc Jacobs.
Ahead, shop these and more sneakers on sale at Zappos—including styles under $60.
