Kids' Trainers (348)

We design our kids' trainers with supportive cushioning to help protect them from injury as they hone their skills. That's because, at Nike, we believe the next generation of sporting stars deserve top-quality kit to help them maximise their potential. We have lace-up styles older kids can adjust their fit. And for little ones, hook-and-loop straps help hold feet in place when they're racing around. Our easy entry system also means they can get shoes on by themselves quickly. Choose from uniform-friendly hues that are ideal for school sports, or opt for bold designs and statement details to show off their personality.

Support from the ground up

Confidence is key to a great performance. That's why we design our Nike trainers for kids with grippy outsoles that keep them stable. Lightweight designs are a perfect pick for budding sprinters and aspiring track-and-field stars. Or if they're all about their favourite racket sport, choose textured herringbone treads that combine good grip with just the right amount of slide. For muddy pitches, studded pairs provide the bite they need to stay on their feet. And because kids can be tough on footwear, we make our outsoles with durable materials that are built to take a bit of rough and tumble.

Protect their muscles and joints

No matter what sport they're passionate about, kids need footwear that gives their bodies the support they need. For maximum protection as they grow, look for children's trainers made with our acclaimed Nike Air units. These junior trainers combine exceptional shock absorption with a springy, energised feel for lasting comfort throughout their training sessions. Combine this with supportive foam cushioning through the midsole, and they're ready to tackle any adventure.

Nike kids' trainers with engineered uppers

Because every athlete and every discipline is unique, we make our kids' trainers in a choice of upper styles to suit their needs. Woven mesh designs give their footwear a lightweight feel, so they can fly through each stride and landing. The flexible weaves also ensure a great range of movement throughout the foot. They also allow air to flow around their feet—helping them stay cool and comfortable. For maximum durability and all-weather protection, look for leather pairs built to stand up to the elements.

Find their perfect fit with Nike junior trainers

Comfort is key when you're choosing the right children's trainers for your youngster. To check the fit at the toe, look for around one centimetre of space (that's about the width of a finger). There should also be a small amount of room between the back of the foot and the heel of the shoe. Next, get them to walk around to make sure their trainers aren't slipping or chafing. When it comes to the overall shape of their footwear, ankle-hugging designs provide extra protection and support. Meanwhile, low-profile options allow maximum freedom of movement.

For the future of sport

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. 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. Ready to join us on our journey? Choose Nike kids' trainers with our Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content.
