Kids' Air Max Trainers & Shoes

Set your young athlete up for success with a pair of our kids' Air Max trainers. We make them from the same pro-quality materials you'll find in our adult sizes. That means plush underfoot cushioning for all-day comfort, grippy outsoles for confidence and stability, and flexible uppers that promote a natural range of movement. Shop all-black pairs to see them through their active school days in style. Or, pick vibrant colourways and colour-pop details to show off their personality.

Celebrate their potential

We understand that growing bodies need support as they hone their athletic skills. Our Air Max trainers for kids have acclaimed Air units built into the sole. These soak up the impact of each stride, jump and landing to help protect their muscles and joints from injury. Then, they snap back into place for a propulsive, energising feel. Plus, you'll find pairs with shock-absorbing foam underfoot. This provides the cushioning they deserve to see them through busy, active days.

Keep them grounded

Great sporting performance is built from the ground up. We make our kids' Air Max shoes in a choice of outsole designs to suit their chosen sport. You'll find pairs with directional grooved soles for extra flexibility. Or you can opt for lightly textured designs that are ideal for hard surfaces. And because young athletes can be tough on their footwear, we have durable rubber materials that are made to take plenty of wear. Look out for wraparound toes that provide added protection from scuffs and scrapes.

Freedom to move

We make our Air Max trainers for kids with flexible uppers that flex with each movement of their foot for lasting comfort. Look for mesh inset panels that promote extra airflow in high-heat areas. This helps youngsters stay cool and focused, no matter how busy their day gets. Plus, we have a choice of upper styles to match their preferences. They can go for pairs with high padded collars for added support and cushioning. Or, they can pick low-profile shapes for a little more room to manoeuvre.

The start of the adventure

Get the smallest athletes off on the right foot, with a pair of kids' Air Max shoes from our toddler range. You'll find practical hook-and-loop fastenings for quick and easy dressing. Our selection includes pairs with handy pull tabs that help kids dress independently. Underfoot, our textured outsoles provide good grip and control for fledgling walkers, first-time runners and future footie stars. Whichever option catches their eye, our Air units deliver all-day support and cushioning, so their feet stay comfy throughout their adventures.

A better future

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join us, choose kids' Air Max 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. Plus, since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste.
