Set your young athlete free to hone his talent with a pair of boys' basketball shoes.

Because traction is key when he's out on the court, we craft our Nike boys' basketball shoes with thoughtfully designed tread patterns that combine effective grip with freedom to move. You'll find extra depth and durable rubber materials in high-pressure areas that take the most impact. For lower-wear spots, we use lightweight synthetics that cut down on weight, so he can run faster and jump higher.

From super-high leaps to lightning turns and fast-paced dribbles, basketball makes unique demands on growing bodies. That's why our basketball shoes for boys come with shock-absorbing foam inner soles that soak up the impact of each movement. This helps to reduce fatigue and protect them from injuries. Look out for pairs made with our acclaimed Nike Air units that deliver an ultra-light design with a springy, propulsive feel.

At Nike, we've always believed young athletes deserve the same pro-quality apparel as their adult counterparts. Our boys' basketball trainers are made with thoughtful design touches to help them achieve their sporting dreams. Like stretchy mesh uppers that combine a snug, protective feel with plenty of freedom to move. Or added ventilation in high-heat areas for lasting comfort during tough matches. Plus, extra grooves in the sole to support the foot's natural range of motion through each stride. Choosing footwear for little ones?
