Although Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is rapidly approaching, select brands have already started to turn on the discounts, giving savvy shoppers a chance to get ahead of the madness. Asics running shoes like the Gel-Kayano, the Gel-Nimbus, and even the Gel-Contend are always prime targets during Amazon sale events, but another one of the brand's comfortable shoes is on sale before everything goes live, and it's nearly $50 off in multiple colors.
The Asics Noosa Tri 15 Running Shoes are now on sale for as low as $83 on Amazon—up to 36% off the normal retail price of $130. These exciting running shoes are a top 50 style among all models on Amazon after earning over 400 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they're "super lightweight and comfortable" for everything from daily runs to intense workouts. They're still available in nine colors and come in sizes 7 to 15, though some have already started to sell out. As always, the final price is determined by your selection of size and color, but nearly all of them are still under $100.

These versatile and well-cushioned running shoes were designed with specs that make transitioning among fitness activities much easier. They're equipped with a super thick stacked foam sole that's bouncy and wickedly impact-absorbing for short runs, but it has a flatter heel-to-toe drop than most running shoes, which makes balancing much easier during HIIT workouts and light lifting. Underneath is Asics' AHAR Plus outsole, which adds a flat rubber layer with traction equivalent to rubber tires that can easily handle bike pedals, ellipticals, and even soggy pavement. But what's most noticeable about the Noosa Tri 15 is the aesthetics: these sneakers are some of Asics' brightest and most exciting athletic shoes that rival the loudest designs from brands like Hoka and Nike.
Those who run and work out in the Noosa Tri 15 say it's one of the most comfortable sneakers they've owned. "Perfect low-drop road running shoe," as one shopper put it. "Wide enough for my wider forefoot but somehow they are still uber-comfortable underfoot with no pressure points and the upper has plenty of stretch in it to accommodate the wide balls of my feet…These fit like a dream."

Multiple shoppers mentioned turning to the Noosa Tri 15 after having less-than-ideal experiences with other athletic brands. "I would workout with [Nike] Blazers and sprint on the treadmill. My ankles were fried. I bought these and it instantly took off the pain. It felt like I was walking on a cloud," a shopper explained. Another shopper agreed, saying, "I always used Hoka to run and they are great, but I decided to try Asics for the first time and they felt phenomenal on my first run. I felt like I wasn't running."
Whether you're firmly in camp Asics but are longing for more exciting colors or are looking to switch from a brand that isn't cutting it for running and other workouts, the Noosa Tri 15 is worth a try while it's on sale for just $83. Make sure to grab yours soon, though—once sizes sell out, they'll likely be gone for good.
