Black Trainers & Shoes

Black trainers built for the way you move

Our black trainers are made to work hard across your whole day. Lace up for a run, step into a gym session or keep moving between daily plans with our black shoes. This collection brings together performance shoes, lifestyle silhouettes and kids’ styles designed for steady comfort and a secure feel. You'll find low-profile shapes for easy everyday wear, ankle-hugging designs for a locked-in fit, and wider training bases that help you feel grounded through lifts, circuits and quick changes of direction.

Cushioning that helps soften every step

Comfort starts underfoot. Which is why selected Nike black trainers feature Nike Air and Air Max cushioning to help absorb impact, so each step feels smooth and responsive. Foam midsoles add soft support for walking, training and long days on your feet, while Nike Shox designs deliver springy cushioning with a bold look. For road running, trail routes or running-inspired everyday shoes, look for lightweight cushioning, breathable uppers and durable outsoles that help keep your stride comfortable from start to finish.

Grip and support for sport

From basketball courts to skate parks and gym floors, traction matters. Our rubber outsoles help deliver grip where you need it, while durable tread patterns support confident movement on different surfaces. Basketball shoes bring cushioning and stability for take-offs, landings and fast footwork. Skate shoes use hard-wearing construction, with vulcanised designs that sit close to the board for a flexible, connected feel. For training, look for broad outsoles and supportive uppers to help you stay steady through lifting, bodyweight work and circuit sessions.

Easy style for every day

Black shoes work with almost everything in your rotation. All-black shoes are a simple choice that deliver a clean look. When picking a pair, consider retro court styles, running-inspired trainers and lifestyle icons that bring comfort that carries from commute to weekend. We also have plain black trainers with contrasting outsoles or a Nike Swoosh on the side. Two-tone designs create a monochromatic look, while colourful accents bring a pop to all-black trainers.

Ready for kids, weather and more

This collection includes men’s, women’s and kids’ black trainers, with options for older kids, younger kids and little kids. That means durable pairs for school days, play and after-club activities, plus performance styles for adults who train, walk or compete. Water-resistant membranes help handle changeable conditions, while chunky trail-style outsoles add grip on uneven paths. You’ll also find selected shoes made with recycled materials, bringing considered design into sport and everyday movement without compromising comfort or function.


Frequently asked questions about black trainers

What are plain black shoes good for?

Plain black shoes are a strong choice when you want one pair that can handle different settings. They work well for everyday wear, commuting, school and low-key styling. If you need performance, choose a pair with cushioning, supportive uppers and grippy outsoles. For a cleaner lifestyle look, go for a simple low-profile silhouette.

How do I choose full-black shoes?

Start with how you’ll wear them most. For training, look for a stable base, secure lockdown and durable traction. For walking or daily movement, prioritise cushioning, breathability and a flexible feel. If you need something for wet conditions, consider water-resistant details and rugged outsole patterns for extra confidence underfoot.
