Sportswear is the category where "on sale" is hardest to define consistently — some brands run storewide promotions, others rotate discounted inventory through a separate section that doesn't register as a sitewide event. Here's exactly what Closetta's storewide-discount tracking shows for four major activewear brands, January–August 2026.
The Lineup
| Brand | Peak Discount (storewide) | On-Sale Instances | Currently On Sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Balance | 30% | 60 | Yes |
| Nike | 40% | 19 (active Jul–Aug only) | No |
| Lululemon | 0% | 0 | No |
| Adidas | 0% | 0 | No |
New Balance: The Reliable One
New Balance shows the most consistent storewide activity in this group — a 30% peak discount across 60 recorded instances, active every month from May through August 2026 and still on sale as of this writing. Full New Balance guide →
Nike: Discounts, But Only Recently
Nike hit a 40% peak, but only shows up in our tracking during July and August 2026 — 19 instances total, and not currently active. Full Nike guide →
Lululemon and Adidas: Zero Storewide Discounts Tracked
Neither Lululemon nor Adidas has registered a single storewide "on sale" event in the 8 months we've tracked so far in 2026. That doesn't necessarily mean nothing is discounted — it likely means their markdown activity happens through a rotating clearance section rather than a sitewide sale. Lululemon, for example, runs its We Made Too Much (WMTM) section as an ongoing rotation of discounted individual items rather than a storewide event — see the full Lululemon breakdown for how that works. Storewide tracking like Closetta's won't catch that kind of rotating, item-level discounting, which is worth knowing if you shop these two brands specifically.
Bottom Line
For a reliable storewide discount, New Balance is your best bet in this group. For Lululemon and Adidas, the better approach is tracking individual product pages rather than waiting for a storewide sale that, per this data, hasn't happened yet in 2026.
