Kids' Running Shorts

From lightning-fast sprints to challenging distance events—our kids' running shorts set young athletes free to fly. We make them from the same pro-quality fabrics you'll find in our adults' range. Expect fuss-free silhouettes that are made for movement, and added stretch for lasting comfort.

Because training hard means getting sweaty, we craft our children's running shorts with our Dri-FIT technology. This uses engineered fibres to actively wick away perspiration from the skin. Then it draws the moisture to the surface so it can disperse and dry off. Meanwhile, breathable properties in the material promote good airflow around the body. All of this ensures young athletes can shed excess heat fast and effectively. This helps them stay focused and comfortable for longer.

Our running shorts for kids come in a choice of fits and cuts to suit their style. If they like a snug, compressive wear, look for biker-short designs. They're made with deep elastic waists for a no-roll feel. For ultimate freedom of movement, we have classic silhouettes with side-split hems and flexible elasticated waistbands. If they need to keep their essentials with them, zip-closed and drop-in pockets are ideal for stowing phones, locker keys and other small items. For youngsters who are running while on their period, choose kids' running shorts with built-in leak protection. It works alongside their usual sanpro for extra confidence.

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. To join us, choose kids' running shorts with our 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.
