Finish Line Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Finish Line’s Cyber Monday sale is just around the corner and is expected to follow a familiar pattern from last year. While the official details for 2025 have not yet been released, past sales give a clear idea of what to expect when it comes to timing, discounts, and exclusions. Here’s what we’re predicting this year.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

Finish Line is expected to launch its Cyber Monday 2025 sale right after its Black Friday promotion ends. The most likely start date is Sunday, November 30, 2025 (that’s the day before Cyber Monday). The event usually lasts for two days and will probably end at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Monday, December 1, 2025.

The sale typically takes place online at finishline.com and at the Finish Line mobile app. The company typically does not extend these offers to retail stores. Inventory is limited, and once items sell out, they are not restocked for the same promotion.

Typical Discount Details and Offer Terms

Finish Line is expected to repeat the same structure used in recent years. The main promotion will likely be 30% off select styles when you use a promo code at checkout (last year’s code was CYBER30).

The discount is not automatic, so you will need to enter the code during checkout for it to work. The 30% reduction applies only to products labeled as eligible on the website or app. These can include both sale and full-price items, depending on what Finish Line decides to include.

Finish Line’s 2024 terms are expected to carry over almost exactly. Those included:

Premium and select launch products excluded from all discounts.
Cannot be combined with any other promotion or coupon.
Not valid on previous purchases or for resellers or wholesalers.
No rain checks and limited to inventory on hand.
Offer subject to all federal, state, and local laws.

Free Shipping for STATUS Members

STATUS members can expect one of Finish Line’s most reliable perks during Cyber Monday: free standard shipping on any order. The offer is automatically applied once you are logged into your STATUS account during checkout. There is no minimum purchase amount required.

This benefit is limited to registered STATUS members who have completed their account setup. Like the main discount, free shipping does not apply to certain premium or launch products. STATUS free shipping only covers standard delivery; faster shipping methods still cost extra.

Featured Deals from Last Year’s Sale

Looking at 2024 helps show what kind of discounts may appear again in 2025. Here are several examples from last year’s Cyber Monday event:

Nike Blazer Mid ’77 dropped to about $56 after applying the CYBER30 code. The regular retail price was around $105.
Women’s Nike Air Force 1 Shadow was reduced to $45.50 after discounts.
Adidas Kaptir Flow running shoes were available for $31.50, originally priced close to $90.
Crocs x Star Wars Chewbacca Clog and Crocs x Lisa Frank styles were both eligible for the extra 30% off.

Famous Footwear Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Famous Footwear’s Cyber Monday event usually follows directly after their Black Friday sale, offering an online-only promo code and free shipping perks, while in-store shoppers continue with the same buy-one-get-one-half-off offer from the weekend before. If you’re planning to grab boots, sneakers, or casual shoes before the holidays, here’s what you can expect to see this year.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

Famous Footwear’s Cyber Monday 2025 sale is expected to start on Monday, December 1, 2025. The sale usually runs for about three days, likely ending Wednesday, December 3, 2025, exclusively at famousfootwear.com.

Typical Deals

For the last several years, Famous Footwear has offered an extra 30% off online purchases during Cyber Monday with a promo code (last year’s was CYBERSALE24) and free standard shipping for all Famously YOU Rewards members. Free shipping generally applies across the contiguous U.S. and doesn’t require a minimum purchase if you’re signed in to your account.

This extra 30% off can usually be applied once per person per transaction, with up to 21 items allowed. It can’t be stacked with other discounts, used in-store, or applied to gift cards, taxes, or past orders. Rewards points earned from purchases appear within about 72 hours and can later be redeemed as Reward Cash.

If you prefer to shop in person, the BOGO ½ Off sale that runs during Black Friday tends to continue through Cyber Monday week. It’s generally limited to select footwear and cannot be combined with the online 30% off promo. Most brand exclusions that apply online also apply to this offer in-store.

Featured Sale Items Last Year

Price cuts usually apply across categories rather than just one brand, and Famous Footwear tends to mark many items under the $50 range. Here are examples of deals that ran last year:

Converse Platform Sneakers – $49.99
Nike Court Vision Sneakers – $49.99
Crocs Cozzzy Slippers – $37.99
BEARPAW Martis Snuggle – $34.99
HEYDUDE Wendy Fold – $29.99
Women’s Tall Boots – $49.99 and under
Western Boots – $29.98
Kids’ Character Shoes – $29.99 and under
Dr. Martens Zavala – $79.99

Possible Brand Exclusions and Restrictions

Not every brand qualifies for the 30% discount code. Last year, the promo excluded many of Famous Footwear’s top labels, including:

Birkenstock, Bogs, Brooks, Converse, Crocs, Dansko, Dr. Martens, HEYDUDE, Hunter, Jansport, Koolaburra by UGG, Native, New Balance, Nike, OOFOS, SOREL, TOMS, Vionic, and select lines from adidas, ASICS, BEARPAW, Dr. Scholl’s, Naturalizer, Steve Madden, Teva, and Timberland.

If the pattern holds, 2025 will likely feature similar exclusions, meaning those brands will be marked down separately but won’t qualify for the extra 30% code.

Emerica Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: If you’ve been waiting to replace worn-out shoes or pick up new gear, Emerica’s upcoming Cyber Monday 2025 sale will likely bring some of the biggest price drops of the season. Here’s what we’re expecting this year.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

Emerica’s Cyber Monday 2025 event is expected to start right after the Black Friday sale wraps up, on Monday, December 1, 2025. It typically runs for one day only.

Typical Discount Levels

Emerica’s Cyber Monday sale almost always follows the same pattern. Expect an extra 40% off existing sale styles when you shop directly at emerica.com. This additional markdown stacks on top of already-reduced prices, bringing many items down to around 60–70% off their original retail value.

No coupon is usually needed. The discount is typically automatically applied in your cart at checkout. Free shipping in the U.S. is usually included, and the deal can’t be combined with other offers or promo codes. Some new or limited-edition releases are often excluded, but most regular shoes and apparel from the sale section qualify.
