Why We Love This Deal
Nordstrom Rack is running mid-season deals on everything from luxurious leather jackets to bestselling chinos, but it's the retailer's selection of sneakers that's dropping jaws. The Rack is currently offering one particular Cole Haan sneaker with the sensibilities of a pair of Skechers wrapped up in a silhouette akin to a retro running shoe, and it's nearly 70% off.
The Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Downtown Sneaker is on sale for as low as $60 right now, up to 68% off its usual price. In a moment where anything under $100 is eye-catching, this model stands out in a big way with its combination of practicality, style, and comfort. They come in six colors, but the ivory and blue colorway is sporting the best discount, while the rest are about half off.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: 8 to 13
- Materials: Leather upper, textile lining, rubber sole
- Outsole: Inverted waffle sole
- Best Use Case: This is a classy, casual shoe that can handle going off the beaten path
The Grand Crosscourt Downtown Sneaker has more midsole lift and ankle support than your classic flat sneaker, and the rest of the shoe is informed by this decision. The upper, for example, has a ton of ventilation holes and, having experienced far less than this from a similar Cole Haan shoe, I can attest that it will keep your feet running cool and sweat-free for far longer than you’d expect.
Then, at the bottom, the shoe uses an inverted waffle outsole. In other words, it’s bespeckled with diamond-shaped lugs, giving the shoe four-way traction and making it less likely to slip.
Put it all together and you’ve got an excellent shoe for gravel roads and unpaved paths that also happens to be suitable for the casual office environment. Use this for lunch break walks or as the perfect navigation companion at sprawling, campus-like office environments.

What Shoppers Are Saying
While 92% of Nordstrom Rack shoppers have given the shoe a perfect 5-star rating, there hasn’t been a lot of commentary. However, on Amazon, where the shoe is being sold for $100, we see wearers leave little notes like “very comfortable and almost weightless” or “amazing shoes, great fit.”
The Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Downtown Sneaker is just $60 when buying at Nordstrom Rack while this deal lasts.
