Boys' Summer Shoes & Trainers(45)

Honing their sports skills puts extra strain on young athletes' growing joints and muscles. That's why we make our boys' summer trainers with supportive underfoot cushioning. It soaks up the impact of each jump, stride, and landing, helping reduce the risk of injury or damage. For a springy, propulsive effect, look out for footwear crafted with our acclaimed Nike Air units. These absorb the energy of every movement, then spring back into shape for extra power.

Because testing their limits means working up a sweat, our boys' summer shoes feature breathable uppers. They promote improved airflow for lasting comfort and freshness. Look out for mesh panels placed in high-heat areas for added air circulation where it's needed most. Looking for easy footwear for the changing room or by the pool? Our durable sliders are ideal for stuffing into gym bags.

Give young athletes support from the ground up with boys' summer trainers made with hardworking outsoles. You'll find engineered tread patterns to suit the demands of his sport. Lightly textured rubber designs are ideal for hard-surface activities. If he's heading out into the open country, go for walking and trail-running shoes with directional lugs. They deliver extra control on uneven surfaces. Shopping for a field-sports player? Look for grippy studs that bite into the turf for confidence and stability.

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. To join us on our journey, look for boys' summer shoes and trainers with our Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
