Nike Air Max Phoenix

Firstly I have two under two, a boy and a girl. My 2 year old immediately said they were cute! She instantly started running around in them! She’s usually clumsy, but these stabilized her dramatically. They are so easy to slip on, and the material doesn’t scuff. We have been exclusively wearing these for a while now and they still look brand new! The materials keep her feet dry while providing a ton of comfort. Recently we went out of town and did a lot of walking and she didn’t complain once. The colors are great and unisex. I plan to use them for my son next year when he’s in her current size! They are also great for wider feet and fit true to size.

My active 2 year old wears a size 7 and is not used to shoes outside the realm of her favorite show characters, so this was definitely our of character for her to choose. Upon first glance, the Air Max Phoenix is super stylish and even more adorable when made pint-sized (toddler). It elevates her look to being much more athletic and, dare I say it, cool. The black background is great because it's different than all the lighter hues that her shoes typically come in. And for the way she plays outside, black will hide the dirt and messiness much better. Against the black backdrop is a nice metallic purple and pink that somehow contrasts so well, still giving it a girly vibe. The shoes are so lightweight, which I absolutely like. My two year old isn't the most graceful yet I feel that having lighter shoes help her to move easier without feeling all that bulk at her feet. It's always nice to not feel like you're wearing cinder blocks for shoes. I was a bit skeptical about these shoes not having velcro at first because it seems that it helps open the shoe wider for chubby feet to get in, but these posed no problem in that department, even which thicker socks. They are true to size so I kind of wish I sized up since these are absolutely great shoes and I want her to be able to wear them longer seeing how their feet grow so quickly. The only thing I think could be made better was perhaps having more cushion for the feet area and making the sole a bit more flexible.

I love this shoe style! I think the colors are great, and the holographic design aspect is really cool. It makes them great for a variety of outfits. I love how thoughtful the design is for parents of little ones. The fact that both the tongue and heel of the shoe have finger loops for easy put on/pull off is amazing. My daughter absolutely loves them, and if she chooses her fit for the day, these shoes are almost always part of it!
