Running seems like a cheap sport—you just need shoes!—until you actually go shoe shopping. The right footwear can make or break your experience. They can also break your budget; even the most basic models are well over $100 new. (That being said, keep in mind that the most expensive shoe isn't necessarily the best for you.)
Spring is the best time to buy running shoes
Just like cars, running shoes come in a make (Asics), model (Gel Nimbus) and, well, there is usually a number at the end of the name instead of a model year: Asics Gel Nimbus 27. Shoes are updated every year or two, depending on the model; the long-running Nike Pegasus is up to version 41.
For example, since that Asics Gel Nimbus 27 was released this year at $165, you can bet that the Asics Gel Nimbus 26 is available much more cheaply. At the time of this writing, most of the color/size combinations are going for around $110—that's more than a 30% discount.

As the summer wears on, you may find deeper discounts on last year's model, but you'll also have fewer options. Sizes sell out, too. Here's a perfect example: the Asics Gel Nimbus 25 (that's two models back) is going for just $99.95. The catch is that you have to wear the "cream/fawn" design, since that's the only color option I could find available.

The same concern applies if you’re buying last year’s model as a backup and planning to stash it in your closet until your current shoes break down. Consider how long it will be until you actually use the shoes, and decide accordingly. While you’re at it, apply the same logic to any gently-used shoes you might find on eBay or Poshmark.
