What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: On Running & More — May 22, 2026

We cracked open an Amazon Mystery Box yesterday evening and honestly? Shoes. It was all about the shoes. Thirteen total items in this one, with a tidy $405.97 in estimated retail value — and the story was written entirely in footwear.

The Standout: A Pair of On Cloud 5 Running Shoes in All White at Nordstrom, Size 6.5

A $140 retail sneaker, sealed, Nordstrom-tagged, in that clean all-white colorway On Running is known for. If you're a size 6.5, this one's already waiting for you at Deals Down Under. These aren't easy to find discounted anywhere — definitely the crown jewel of this particular box.

Running right behind it (pun intended) was a Veja Campo Sneaker in Extra White Natural Suede at Nordstrom, Size 40 at $130 retail. Veja has a serious following, and the Campo silhouette in natural suede is one of their most sought-after styles. Two premium sneakers in one box is not something we complain about here in Hot Springs.

Rounding out the notable finds: three adidas Adilette Aqua Women's Slide Sandals, Size M7W8, Black at $19.99 each. Slides are a perennial sell — these will move fast, especially heading into summer.

Beyond those five named pieces, there are eight more bin-labeled items already headed into our store bins for resale. This box wasn't flashy in volume, but the quality-per-item ratio was genuinely solid. A good day at the table.
