Black Shoes

When it's time to get active, our black shoes give you the support you need to train at your best. We make our footwear using quality materials and athlete-informed designs. Expect stylish black sneakers with flexible uppers that move with you. Plush inner soles soak up the impact of each movement, then power you into the next. And grippy outsoles ensure you stay stable, no matter how tough the session gets.

Cool black shoes, foam cushion comfort

Whether you're a runner, gym fanatic or a field-sports player, pushing your limits can be tough on your body. We craft our all-black shoes with shock-absorbing foam in the inner sole. It helps absorb the energy of your strides, jumps and landings. Then, it springs back into place, ready for the next movement. Check out all-black sneakers featuring our acclaimed Air technology for a bouncy, propulsive feel. They're made from ultra-lightweight membranes filled with compressed air. This means they give you the cushioning you need without adding weight.

Performance you can rely on

A great sporting performance is built from the ground up. That's why we design our sneakers with engineered outsoles to suit the unique demands of your discipline. For lifting and circuit training, look for black sneakers with wide outsoles. They provide a stable base for repeated movements and explosive bursts of energy. If you're a racket sports player, we have shoes with specially created tread patterns. These are the best black shoes for the game, letting you grip and slide for the ultimate freedom to move.

Run with confidence, wherever you go

From your first park run to your next distance challenge, our black shoes for runners help you chase down your dreams. If you'll be putting in most of your distance on hard surfaces, search for durable rubber outsoles that are built to take a pounding. You can choose low-profile pairs for a lightweight, minimal feel. Or, you can go with ankle-hugging styles for extra support. Heading out into the open country? We have black shoes in specialist trail running designs. Chunky outsoles with directional tread patterns provide control and confidence on uneven ground. Meanwhile, padded collars and water-resistant membranes work to keep out debris, dirt and moisture.

Move with ease on the pitch

When the time comes to head out onto the pitch, our black shoes for field sports players help you put in your best shift. We make our studded footwear in a selection of stud depths to suit the ground conditions. That helps you stay stable and confident throughout each sprint, turn and tackle. If you'll be playing on a 3G surface, look out for AstroTurf pairs. They provide the grip you need without causing damage or sticking to the turf. Choose sockboot styles to get a smooth, foot-hugging feel. Or, opt for traditional lace-up designs that promote a natural range of movement.

Looking to the future

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join our journey, choose black sneakers with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste. Plus, we repurpose old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets into high-performance yarn for our clothing.
