Huge 4th of July sneaker and apparel sales — 23 deals I'd shop from Nike, Sweaty Betty, REI and more
The 4th of July sales are a great way to save some money just in time for summer — especially if you're looking to hit the trails, tracks or gym with some fresh new apparel or sneakers. Huge brands like Nike, Sweaty Betty, Lululemon, REI and more hold spectacular sales events filled with super discounts. But, each site has thousands of products on offer and quite honestly, I always end up feeling pretty overwhelmed. That's why I've put in the hours to scroll through as many products as possible to find the 23 top deals I'd recommend across the sites. So, check them out below and if you're after more savings, make sure to take a look at our early Prime Day deals live blog. 4th of July is the unofficial start to summer, which means end of season markdowns, like these comfy performance crew socks from New Balance. Three pairs of assorted colors for 25% off, keeping your feet dry and ready for any activity. Sign me up! There's eight colors sporting this 50% discount, but I'm a personal fan of this stylish grey (called Asphalt Heather on the site) for its timeless look. With microventilated fabric, this tee is perfect for running, workouts and hitting the trails. This is one of my favorite yoga bras for its sweat-wicking qualities and padding for light support. I use it for low-intensity workouts as well as day-to-day wear when staying comfy. Plus, it's available in Black and Navy, but you'll have to pay an extra $7. Still a huge saving! The classic Dri-FIT tees from Nike are a workout wardrobe staple. So, no surprise that with a 23% discount, they're selling out fast. It's lightweight and sweat-wicking, which means you can get your workouts in without sacrificing your overall comfort levels. A great set of features for those sweltering summer months. Lululemon's Everywhere Belt Bag is a classic piece from the activewear brand, and you can pick up the Mini version in Army Green while spending a little less cash. A great companion for your trail walks or runs that'll keep your phone, keys and cards safe. This long-sleeve running tee is a popular pick from REI and while 9 colors are still full price, this teal fit is sporting a 31% discount. Using SwiftTex fabric to keep you cool, dry and unencumbered, it's an excellent pick for long runs especially on those cooler nights. At first look, you might be wondering why it's called a Sun Runner cap, but it'll make sense when I tell you it has a removable cape and chin cord to protect you from the suns rays. Plus, it's got UPF 40 sun protection. So, if you're wanting to get out in the hot weather while staying protected, this premium cap will do just that. Looking for a relaxed fit for any kind of workout? These may be called running shorts, but they'll support you through whatever training plan you're following or yoga class you're going to. They've even got a pocket that means you can go from track to out and about seamlessly. I have these Power Workout leggings in three colors already and this almost $70 saving is trying to lure me in for one more purchase. They're incredibly supportive and the high-waist provides a comfy fit that will make those gym workouts a little more enjoyable. Two of the best features for a training tee have to be lightweight and relaxed because trying to workout in anything tight or heavy is less than ideal. Luckily, Lululemon know how to make a great fit and this one is designed with training in mind. It's also available in a vibrant pink called Passionate, if you're feeling bold. For those sunny summer runs, a loose fit high-rise short is a must and these come in 9 different colors (though at time of writing, one was already sold out). There's hidden storage, a stay-put waistband and layered hem to ensure coverage and support. It might be hard to imagine rainy days when you're heading into summer, but let's not forget they're always on the way. Luckily, REI's lightweight rain jacket offers protection whatever the weather with a waterproof and windproof polyester shell. Plus, it's got a mesh lining so it's breathable, too. For women, this 2.5-layer jacket will keep you dry, protected and even cool if you find yourself heating up thanks to the pit zips that'll let in extra airflow. There's also a bunch of pockets, big and small, to store your essentials and anything you may need for those longer hikes. After all your training is done and dusted, it's time to head into the ultimate recovery mode with these soft, comfy joggers. They're smooth on the inside, too, thanks to the modal-blend fabric that also boasts a four-way stretch. And right now, they can be yours for almost $40 off. Arc-teryx's outwear apparel is premium quality and right now, you don't have to pay a premium price for the privilege. With almost 20% off, this smooth lightweight fit is perfect for layering when those outdoor hikes turn cooler. Using innovative fleece insulation, you stay warm without getting too hot. Whether you're running miles or just running errands, the Fresh Foam 680v8 are a perfect fit – and that's thanks to the midsole foam cushioning, integrated rubber outsole and no-sew construction for a comfy fit and feel. They're still an incredibly popular NB pick, so 6 of the colors are still at full price. Looking for a shoe to clock up the miles in? The Structure 25's are some of the best Nike shoes money can buy, topping our list for the best stability shoe you can go for. They'll counter overpronation on the run, while keeping you comfortable and your steps stable. I'm a huge fan of the Metcon 9's and while I've got them in all black, I've had my eye on the all white style for a while. And right now, they're an incredible 39% off. The larger Hyperlift plate to the Metcon 8s provide stability when performing those heavy lifts or they're just keep your grounded as you go about your day. Hurry though, they're selling out fast. We called the Brooks Adrenaline 23 "another winner" from the popular shoe brand when we first got our hands on them. And we praised them for being insanely comfy, very reliable and with a surprising snap in their responsiveness. These will take you the distance and then some, while also saving you $40. The FuelCell Rebel v4s are a super popular pick for runners thanks to their lightweight feel and FuelCell technology making a responsive underfoot that can adapt with your distance. They're also a great choice for everyday comfort. Unsurprisingly, they're flying off the (online) shelves! The Hoka Clifton 9's are some of the best running shoes for men, especially when it comes to beginners. Great cushioning, a supportive rocker and comfortable no matter what distance you're running. If you're new to running, a versatile shoe is a solid pick and these will definitely carry you through as you pick up speed. If you're a road runner looking for a cushioned fit with a wide and tall midsole, the Invincible 3's should be up their on your shortlist. And at this price, they're most likely pricing out the competition. With a 29% saving, you can pick up these responsive and light foam kicks for supporting all your miles. You'll always pay a premium price for carbon plated running shoes and when we put the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4s to the test, we found the price in line with competitors. Until now, of course, with a super $50 saving. They're a stable and comfy racing shoe that'll support you through both training and the big day, no matter the pace.

I tried the JackRabbit XG Pro, and it's the ebike version of a jacked-up chihuahua
'The JackRabbit XG Pro is made for pros. Don't say we didn't warn you.' That's the first line on the product page — and yeah, they mean it. Like other JackRabbit micro e-bikes, the XG Pro looks like a beefy BMX with chunkier tires. But with its 750W motor, short wheelbase, and sub-40 lb frame, you're looking at a ride that'll either make you grin like a maniac, land on your butt, or, in my case, both. Let's just say they weren't kidding about the warning — this thing is a wheelie monster. Motor 749 geared rear hub motor Top speed 20 mph (32 km/h) / 24 mph (39 km/h) in off-road mode Range 48 miles (77 km) Battery 720 Wh battery (2x 360Wh RangeBuster batteries) Max load 275 lb (125 kg) Bike weight 37 lb (16.7 kg) Brakes Front and rear mechanical disc brakes on 180 mm rotors Wheels 2.8 x 20-inch off-road tires It ships mostly assembled — just expect to fumble a bit with the front and rear lights, which are oddly finicky to install. But once set up, you really start to appreciate how compact this thing is. At just 37 pounds, this is one of the lightest 750W e-bikes around. The 90-degree fold-flat handlebar is a huge win — it let me roll it under my dining table or tuck it neatly by the wall without clogging up the hallway. Between the short wheelbase and folding pegs, it's super apartment-friendly. Visually, it hides its 'E' roots well. The dual 360Wh batteries sit on top of the frame like they're straight out of a Mad Max gas rig. They look more like ammo cans or fuel packs than batteries, and paired with the Army Green paint on mine, it gives the whole thing a rugged, military vibe. Minimal branding, too—thankfully. You wouldn't think a bike this size could be this punchy. But pop it into the highest power mode and prepare for whiplash — no joke, it will lift the front wheel if you're not leaning in. The first few takeoffs caught me completely off guard. I'd hit the throttle at a red light and suddenly find myself standing while the bike tried to bolt off with my hands just barely keeping it from rolling off without me. It's fun, no doubt, but it demands respect. I eventually got the hang of feathering the throttle from a stop, but even then, it's easy to get caught off balance if you're not careful. But that same power is what makes this thing so capable. It crushed steep hills — think 30–40° grades — without breaking a sweat. I was able to accelerate up hills and maintain 15+ mph while climbing. That's rare, even for bigger e-bikes. Although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't leaning way forward like a cartoon character to avoid tipping backward. The base top speed is 20 mph, which it hits effortlessly with my 5'10', 160 lb frame. But Off-Road Mode takes it to 24 mph… once you sign a waiver, confirm you're 18+, and pinky-promise not to use it illegally. No, seriously, you need to do that. JackRabbit is covering every legal base here — and I don't blame them. As for off-roading? The knobby 2.8 × 20-inch tires help a lot with grip and smoothing out bumps from roots, gravel, or curbs. But with zero suspension, you'll be standing on those pegs for sure. Earlier JackRabbit bikes leaned hard into portability but had limited range and power. The XG Pro changes that. The dual RangeBuster batteries bring a massive bump in capacity — 720Wh total, which is 2.5x the capacity of its standard airline-friendly packs (which yes, you'll need to buy separately if you want to fly with this). The batteries are no longer integrated into the frame like on previous models, and weight goes up by about 5 lbs over the original XG. But for a lot of people, that's a tradeoff they're willing to take. JackRabbit claims up to 48 miles of range, which is solid for a bike this size. But let's be real: if you're goosing the throttle and riding like a hooligan (which is half the fun), that number will drop. Still, it's a massive step up from earlier models and competes with or even beats many full-size e-bikes in this weight class. This might look like a bike, but there's no way to pedal it. Instead, it uses folding foot pegs, which do help keep things compact — but that's a major limitation you need to keep in mind. Even throttle-heavy e-bikes usually include pedals as a backup. The XG Pro? Nope. If you run out of battery, you're walking it home or calling an Uber. That's a big deal for me. I've been caught out more than once with a dead battery, and being able to pedal — even sluggishly — makes a huge difference. It's also nice to have the option to pedal for range extension or, dare I say, exercise. Something I'm told bikes are traditionally used for. So while it's fine for short commutes or being a hooligan, this wouldn't replace a true commuter e-bike for me. Something like the Urtopia Carbon 1 Fold (which I reviewed earlier this year) is much better if you want compact and practical — plus it's even lighter at 29 lbs, though its range is reduced to 40 miles. Many e-bikes — especially higher-end ones — now route their cables internally for a cleaner look and better protection from the elements. The XG Pro doesn't do this, at least not for its front and rear lights. That might make them easier to service or replace, but it also means the wires and ports are left more exposed — something I've been keeping a close eye on. Hopefully it won't become an issue long-term, but I've already run into one annoyance: a few times while moving the bike around, I accidentally unplugged the front light. For something that leans so heavily into rugged minimalism, this felt like an oddly clunky oversight. The XG Pro uses 180mm mechanical disc brakes front and rear, but in my tests, they felt mushy. At lower speeds, they're fine. But once you're over 15 mph and need to stop quickly, the brakes feel spongy and don't inspire much confidence — especially on steep downhill runs. Coming down the same hill I mentioned earlier, I had to seriously dial back my speed because I just didn't trust the brakes to stop me in time or not throw me over the handlebars. Not ideal when drivers treat stop signs like suggestions. For a bike that emphasizes performance and off-road fun, it's disappointing. Hydraulic brakes would've made a huge difference — and at this price point, that's a corner I wish they hadn't cut. The XG Pro is fast, compact, and an absolute blast to ride — but it's also expensive, impractical, and kind of ridiculous in the best way. Looking for a serious commuter or a do-it-all e-bike? This isn't it. But if you want something that can pop wheelies at will, squeeze under a desk, and still hit 20 (or 24 mph, if you're feeling brave) with zero effort? There's really nothing else quite like it. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
