As the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale hits its final weekend (prices go back up on Monday, Aug. 10), it’s become clear that five specific categories have been the stars of this year’s savings event. According to the Anniversary Sale Bestsellers list, which the retailer compiles annually as the event nears its end, customers can’t seem to get enough of chunky trainers and cushioned running shoes (specifically from On, New Balance and Hoka), high-end hair tools and beauty products (hi, Dyson Airwrap), designer sunglasses (think Miu Miu and Fendi), atheisure essentials (especially from Vuori) and travel-sized fragrance sets (à la Le Labo).
