Chicago ran its marathon this past Sunday, October 11, and New York runs on November 1, 2026, fifty years after the race first went through all five boroughs. Craft Sportswear, the Swedish endurance brand, has built its US homepage around exactly that stretch, “two marathons, one month,” and road shoes are front and center. Whether you’re shopping for a pair before New York or just because fall running has started, the Craft Sports promo code CRAFT20 takes 20% off at craftsports.us. There’s one catch with sale shoes, and I’ll get to it after the test.

Why I Tested It On A Men’s Kype Pro Running Shoe – White $640 Shoe
I went straight for the Kype Pro. At $320 it’s the most expensive running shoe on Craft’s site, and if a code was going to choke on anything, I figured it would be the top of the range.
It didn’t. Two pairs in white, size 8, went into the cart, and once CRAFT20 went into the discount box, the line under the shoes changed to -$128.00 and the $640 subtotal dropped to $512. That works out to $256 a pair, $64 less than the sticker price on each. Tax and shipping get added later in checkout, once there’s an address, and Shop Pay and PayPal both show up as express options at the top.
Where Craft’s Cheaper Running Shoes Land
Most of Craft’s sports shoes discount sit well below the Kype Pro, and the 20% comes off them the same way:
- Nordlite Speed 2: $230, down to $184.
- Endurance 3: $170, down to $136.
- Pacer 2 and Xplor 2: $150, down to $120.
That last number is the one I’d keep in mind. Craft ships free on orders over $100, and since even its cheapest full price shoe still costs $120 after the code, nobody buying a single pair ends up paying for shipping.
Full Priced Is The Word To Watch
Craft’s email sign up promises 20% off your “first full priced order.” CRAFT20 is the same 20%, and it may well follow the same rule.
Two shoes are marked down right now, the Nordlite Ultra 2 from $127.50 and the Nordic Trail 2.0 from $112.50. Neither one went into my cart, so I can’t say for sure whether the code skips them. If a sale pair is in yours, look at the discount line before you pay.
Free Shipping, Race Day Layers And Pro Discounts
- Free shipping kicks in on orders over $100.
- Race day layers are grouped into tops, bottoms and accessories for race morning, and the fall range adds baselayers, tights, hats and gloves for cold starts.
- The Pro Program and ExpertVoice offer their own discounts for people who qualify.
- Gear guides cover running shoes, layering and baselayers, for anyone stuck between two options.
Craft doesn’t list an end date for CRAFT20. With New York on November 1, the safest way to use it is on a full price pair, since that’s where the test showed every dollar of the 20% coming off.
Check Before You Order In The US
Craft doesn’t list an end date for CRAFT20. That means it could stop working without much warning. Delivery times to US addresses aren’t on the homepage either. Because of that, check the shipping options at checkout before you count on a pair for race day. Also, the “Email me with news and offers” box comes already checked. Otherwise, Craft’s emails will start landing in your inbox. Most importantly, save the code for a full price pair. After all, that’s where the test showed every dollar of the 20% coming off. Meanwhile, New York runs on November 1. So the sooner your order goes in, the better.
