Kids' Running

From their first park run to their next competitive event, our kids' running gear sets them free to chase down their dreams. We have shoes and clothing to suit a variety of conditions and surfaces. Choose lightweight designs for warm weather and hard urban terrain. Heading out for an off-grid adventure? Check out easy-on layers for protection from the elements and grippy trainers for maximum confidence.

At Nike, we know sprinting and jogging place unique demands on growing bodies. That's why our children's running shoes come with plush, shock-absorbing cushioning. If they like trainers with a bouncy, propulsive feel, pick pairs with our acclaimed Air units. These absorb the impact of each movement, and then they snap back into place to return the energy of their stride. That helps power young athletes forward into the next beat.

Our range of kids' running clothing has a choice of fits and cuts to match their preferences. Shorts and T-shirts in easy, fuss-free shapes combine light coverage with plenty of room to move. If they prefer a more covered style, go with our tights, leggings and track tops for runners. Keep an eye out for high-performance pieces that feature Nike Dri-FIT technology. This well-known fabric wicks sweat away from the skin for quicker evaporation to keep them fresh and snug.

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join us, choose our children's running essentials with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the apparel with at least 50% recycled content and the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill. And since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste.
