Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

And while we still have some time left to go until the deals arrive, we’ve been tracking them long enough to pretty much know what’s likely coming. Here are our predictions for 2024:

You can expect them to run 40% off site and storewide on nearly everything in-stock. Free shipping and free returns for online shoppers are also usually offered during the event.
The event is expected to kick off on Saturday November November 23, 2024 and run through Cyber Monday, December 2, 2024. 2-day early access is expected for Levi’s Red Tab members on or around Thursday November 21, 2024 (not a member? Then sign up for free on their site!).

Nike’s Black Friday 2024 Sale

June 28, 2024 BlackerFriday.com 3 Comments

Updated on Friday June 28, 2024: If you’re a regular Nike customer, then you already know how their major sales typically look like; it’s a sale on top of a sale. And it’s not just their Black Friday and Cyber Monday events that offer extra savings off of existing sale prices, but also over some of the major holidays throughout the year such as Memorial Day and Labor Day. Here’s what you can expect them to offer this year over Thanksgiving weekend:

Throughout the years that we’ve tracked Nike’s Black Friday sales, one thing that’s consistent year after year is the offer: they usually release a promo code letting you save an extra 25% off the lowest listed sale price in their sale/outlet section. That means you can expect to save up to 60% off on 1000’s of shoes, clothing and gear.
In terms of timing, the event usually begins on the Sunday before Thanksgiving and ends on Saturday night (this year that would be November 24-30, 2024). But it’s then replaced with a nearly identical sale immediately afterwards for Cyber Monday.
Early access is typically offered to all Nike Members (it’s free to join on their site). Be on the lookout for this to begin on or around Sunday November 17, 2024. Besides early access, members get free shipping and free returns on online orders of $50 or more.
Remember, because Nike’s Black Friday sales are typically only offered on existing sale items, quantities are limited so it’s best to shop early to insure the style, color and size that you need are in-stock.
There will be some exclusions. Most notably, all full-priced shoes and apparel are excluded from this offer. Plus, you can not not combine this offer with any other coupon codes or discounts that you may also have.

So that’s what we’re predicting at the moment. As we learn more and secure a copy of this year’s ad scan, we’ll get it posted for you right on this page. In the meantime, be sure to join our newsletter to stay up to date with this year’s major Black Friday news, rumors and ad leaks.
