Kids' Shorts

We make our kids' shorts from top-spec materials, so young athletes can hone their skills in comfort. Think fabrics with four-way stretch. This means they're free to reach and flex in every direction. You'll also discover easy, practical designs that are built for movement. We have a choice of cuts and lengths to suit their preference and the demands of their sport. If they need to have their essentials handy as they train, look for pairs with zip-closed pockets that keep everything secure.

Help them stay cool and focused

So, you're raising a dedicated footballer. An aspiring gymnast. A committed track-and-field specialist. However they like to move, pushing their limits means working up a sweat. Check out our children's sports shorts featuring Nike Dri-FIT technology. These use engineered fibres to wick away moisture from their skin. Then they draw it to the surface, so it can dry fast. You'll also find pairs with mesh panels in high-heat areas. That promotes extra airflow, ensuring your youngster can shed excess heat quickly. The result? They'll feel fresher for longer.

Warmth where they need it

On colder days when insulation is important, choose children's shorts crafted from our Tech Fleece. It combines effective protection from the chill with a clever, lightweight construction, giving aspiring sports stars the comfort they want without weighing them down. If they like to layer up under their shorts, we have pairs made in loose fits. These ensure plenty of space for tights or leggings, so your young athlete can move freely.

Pairs to suit their discipline

Explore clothing designs to match the needs of just about every sport in our range of kids' shorts. Body-hugging options fit close to their skin, so gymnasts and dancers can see their form and line. For runners, minimal shapes with side-split hems set them free to fly through their chosen distance. If they're repping their team on the football field or the basketball court, look out for colour-coordinated pairs with secure drawcord fastenings. They hold everything in place—no matter how much they leap, sprint and pivot.

Small details, big difference

At Nike, we understand that fine margins matter in sport. That's why we design every aspect of our kids' sports shorts with attention to detail. Think flexible elastic waistbands that lie flat against the skin for lasting comfort. Adjustable drawcords that mean they can find their perfect fit. Plus, built-in mesh linings that provide added support.

For a better future

When it comes to protecting the future of sport, we're all playing on the same side. Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join us, choose kids' shorts with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the apparel with at least 50% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill. It's just one of the ways we're stepping up to the challenge.
