The Best Designer Finds To Snag On Sale This Black Friday
The best designer sales offer pieces worthy of investing in this Black Friday, just in time for the holiday season….

Every year around Black Friday, the influx of designer sales turns me into a strange version of myself that is both highly impulsive and overly analytical. Sometimes I’ll overthink a sale item for days, asking all the proper questions like, “Would I buy it for full price?” Other times I stop mid-walk and sit on the side of the road to type in my credit card because I cannot believe that bag I ogled over when it was walking down the runway is a shocking 75% off.
But this year in particular, I am trying to manage my impulsive side and approach designer sales with the mindset that these discounts are an opportunity for me to invest in brands that I love all year round. I’m also considering what I will actually wear during the holiday season as I surely will not be attending the same kind of gatherings as in years past. Though I still feel slightly overwhelmed, I have developed some tricks sure to prevent any nonrefundable regrets. In fact, my favorite wardrobe pieces are always the ones I bought at a discount, which makes a lot of sense because these designer sales are a time for me to buy into the brands I admire on a daily basis. Can I afford a gorgeous designer bag at $2,000? No, but I can splurge on it at $500, knowing that I am being a more thoughtful consumer.
Below, the best designer sale picks to snag on Black Friday and enjoy this holiday season and for years to come. Let’s call this a guide to investment sale shopping.
Proenza Schouler
Without fail, Proenza Schouler always produces some of my favorite shoes and boots of the season. These chunky Mary Jane style loafers would be perfect with tights or socks and the label’s knit turtleneck for a casual, at-home holiday celebration. This extremely chic black dress is more dressed up, but also a timeless investment.
Marine Serre
Marine Serre’s cult-favorite, moon-printed tops rarely go on sale, so this long sleeve shirt is a Black Friday find that will surely go fast! Other ready-to-wear pieces like this charming sweater or embroidered, floral-jacquard skirt are especially fitting for this time of year.
Khaite
When making a still-expensive sale purchase, I look for prints and styles that I loved on the runway, and still love months later when they hit the stores. The zebra prints from Khaite’s fall 2020 runway definitely pass the test, so I have my eye on these festive heels. Khaite is equally known for elevated basics and these cozy sweaters are a luxurious investment sure to last for years to come.
Tory Burch
I loved the romantic styles that graced Tory Burch’s fall 2020 runway. Either of these gorgeous long-sleeved dresses are perfect for an intimate or outdoor gathering, especially if paired with their classic, equestrian-style black boots.
Molly Goddard
These Molly Goddard sale finds could not be more perfect for the season ahead. The whimsical florals and tulle are just what we need to bring some holiday cheer. I am head over heels for this long-sleeved printed blouse in particular, which also has back bows that I adore!
Loewe
Season after season, I marvel at Jonathan Anderson’s gorgeous designs for Loewe. These pearl drop earrings are ideal for any Zoom get togethers, and the mohair scarf or iPhone case would make a fantastic gift for anyone on your list!
Marni
These fabulous Marni shearling slip-ons are destined to be a hit for a stylish holiday at home, especially if worn by the fire with the brand’s knit patchwork scarf. This high-neck, green striped turtleneck and black buckled boots would pair equally well for any occasion this winter.

Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Safari” Official Images Reveal Bold Print Ahead of Holiday Release
The Nike Zoom Hyperflight is getting a bold new look, with the “Safari” colorway coming soon. We have official photos of the unique design for a closer look. The sneaker sports bright orange accents and a translucent outsold, and is expected to arrive during the holiday season at a retail price of $190.
The new version is inspired by the Safari print that is familiar from the Air Safari. That pattern covers most of the Hyperflight’s soft, molded upper, giving the basketball shoe a unique look compared with some of the model’s other recent colorways. Together, the unusual texture and pattern make the silhouette feel especially suited to the adventurous design.
The primary contrast across the shoe is orange, used in the trim and other details. The bright color pops against the speckled base without being overwhelming. Black is also present in the design, on the glossy support structure around the midfoot and the soft leather collar. The look is topped off with a see-through outsole that adds another visual element to the overall color scheme.
The sneaker will drop with style code IZ2573-010 and is expected in men’s sizing. With a retail price tag of $190, Nike, Foot Locker, and Sheikh are among the expected retailers. As for when you can expect it, it’s likely to be the holiday season, though we don’t have a solid release date.
The “Safari” colorway comes amid a busy period for the Zoom Hyperflight. This year, Nike has revived the model in several colors, bringing a new wave of attention to the silhouette through a series of releases. Another forthcoming option is the vibrant “Green Apple” pair, also scheduled for a holiday season release.
The Hyperflight’s history also provides context for the latest return. Jason Williams wore the model in the early 2000s, linking it to a memorable era for the sneaker. That association also helps explain why new colorways can generate excitement beyond the shoe’s look, especially for those who remember it from its previous run.
The Safari design is a definitive statement that does not change the characteristic shape of the Hyperflight. Instead, it uses the familiar silhouette as a canvas for a pattern that has already become recognizable through another Nike model. The orange accents provide a bright contrast, while the black midfoot structure and collar balance it out.
Now that official images have surfaced, sneaker fans have a clearer idea of what to expect from the holiday release. The $190 price, style code, and expected retail partners have also been identified, but a specific launch date has not been confirmed.
For Nike, the “Safari” is another way to bring attention back to the Zoom Hyperflight. One of its more distinctive new looks is this returning model, featuring speckled print, orange trim, black support details, and an icy-looking translucent outsole.

Lil Yachty Previews Another Nike Air Force 1 Mid, This Time With Blue and Orange Stitching
Lil Yachty has added another eye-catching design to his ever-growing collection of Nike US Force 1 Mids, this time going for a cleaner white look accented by blue and orange stitching. The rapper’s latest take on the shoe keeps the familiar silhouette. Still, it uses contrasting details to give the shoe its own identity, something the artist is known for, showing off a steady run of variations on the silhouette.
Dubbed the “White Contrast Stitch,” the pair features white leather across most of the upper. Rather than altering the classic Air Force 1 Mid profile or incorporating a strange material, the design uses stitching to separate the design visually. Blue stitching embellishes the leather panels, and each side of the shoe’s Swoosh is lined with orange.
The combo adds a subtle but noticeable splash of color to the mostly white sneaker. It’s a more muted take than some of the more adventurous pairs Yachty has shown recently, so this version feels like the more no-nonsense option in his growing collection.
The new design adds to the long list of Air Force 1 Mid looks associated with the rapper this year. Earlier previews have featured a stars-and-stripes pair, an orange version with black stars, and a yellow colorway tied to ComplexCon. Each has put a different spin on the familiar silhouette, helping make Yachty’s run of designs a continuing talking point among sneaker watchers.
Earlier this year, another pair of the shoes, this time with blue and red detailing and thick white stitching, was also teased. That version is expected to launch around the holidays, but the details provided don’t confirm whether it will launch alongside the recently unveiled white one.
Some questions remain unanswered about the “White Contrast Stitch” design. Nike has not confirmed any price, style code, or even whether the sneaker will be released to the public. The design has drawn attention through its online appearance and Yachty’s preview, but neither sets a launch date nor guarantees consumers can buy it.
That anticipation makes the latest reveal more of a first look than a proper release announcement. The white leather upper and blue-and-orange stitching are on display, but key retail details remain unknown. For now, there is no confirmed timeline for when the pair might hit stores, or if it will be offered beyond the preview.
Still, the design adds another variation to a collection that has featured a wide variety of colors and details. The white base makes this one more subtle, while the contrast stitching keeps it from being a straight-up all-white release.
Yachty’s latest preview continues his ongoing relationship with the silhouette, with several other Air Force 1 Mid designs already shown this year. It’s not clear if the “White Contrast Stitch” pair will ever make it to the light of day, but it’s definitely added another distinct look to his growing collection.
