Boys' Football Shorts

Boys' football shorts should work as hard as they do. From after-school training to weekend matches, the right pair helps him move freely, stay comfortable and focus on the game. Nike football shorts for boys are made with lightweight fabrics that set him free to fly. Plus, secure waistbands and easy fits ensure confidence through sprints, drills and everyday play. Shop a range of lengths and cuts to suit his preference. If he loves to channel his heroes as he plays, we have kits inspired by the strips and colourways of footie legends from around the world.

Stay dry when the tempo rises

As the on-pitch action gets intense, comfort matters. To help him keep his cool, look for boys' shorts with our Aero-FIT technology. These pairs are designed using athlete-informed data to locate high-heat areas. We then use perforated fabrics to promote maximum airflow where the athlete needs it most. Plus, sweat-wicking fibres draw away perspiration from the skin. They transport the moisture to the surface so it can evaporate quickly. All of this means young footie stars can shed excess heat fast and efficiently. That helps him remain focused on the match.

Built for movement

Football asks for fast changes of direction, quick bursts and constant responsiveness. Nike football shorts are designed to feel light and unrestricted. Standard fits give enough room to move without feeling loose. Elasticated waistbands and drawcord ties help create a secure fit that stays in place through every drill. Look out for styles that include stretchy side vents for added mobility. Meanwhile, above-knee, mid-thigh and knee-length options let him choose the coverage that feels right.

Iconic looks for sports superstars

Help your young player feel his best as he trains, with boys' football shorts that channel some of the world's most iconic clubs and players. We have a selection of Home, Away and Third football shorts so he can show off his allegiance as he hones his skills. Look out for his team's badging that showcases his passion. You'll also find authentic colours and motifs inspired by the new season's graphics and colourways. Go for his favourite club, or choose international strips so he can cheer on his home nation.

Comfort for sport, school and everyday movement

Our boys' football shorts are made for on-pitch, but they also fit easily into busy days. Lightweight materials help him feel comfortable on the journey to training, during PE, or while relaxing after a match. Plus, crisp looks complemented by our iconic Nike Swoosh mean his shorts carry him from the locker room to the street in effortless style. When it's time for laundry, quick-drying fabrics and hardwearing fibres ensure his kit is smart and ready to wear in a trice.

Move to Zero
