Boys' Black Trainers & Shoes(168)

We make our boys' black trainers with the same cutting-edge technology we use for our adult footwear. That means he gets the support he needs to achieve his goals. You can choose shoes in low-profile styles, ensuring a full range of movement throughout the foot. If he prefers a more supportive fit, opt for ankle-hugging designs with cushioning at the collar. The extra padding delivers comfort and stability—even on uneven surfaces.

The confidence to move

Our black trainers for boys are built to keep him grounded as he hones his skills. We have lightweight pairs with grippy waffle outsoles that are ideal for runners. These create stability without weighing him down. For indoor PE lessons and court sports, pick designs crafted from non-marking materials. If he's heading off into the Great Outdoors, look out for footwear with deep treads in the soles. They're engineered to deliver the extra grip he needs to stay stable on wet and slippery ground.

Celebrate their football prowess

Raising a dedicated school-team player, a weekend-league stalwart or even an Academy hopeful? We have boys' black shoes carefully engineered for the beautiful game. Whether the ground he's playing on is soft or firm, you'll find a choice of stud depths to suit. For training and matches on AstroTurf, look for our 3G footwear. The soles are specially designed for effective grip on this surface. When it comes to the uppers, we have designs made with stretchy Flyknit fabric. These boots hug close to his foot for a better feel of the ball. If a lace-up style is more his thing, keep an eye out for options with off-centre lacing. They provide a clean strike zone for ultimate control.

Support for growing bodies

Because young athletes need extra protection as they develop their talent, we craft our black shoes for boys with shock-absorbing materials underfoot. Pairs fitted with our acclaimed Air units help protect their joints and muscles during high-impact activities. The air-filled pads soak up the impact of each movement, then spring back into place. This creates a springy, responsive feel. Plus, you'll find engineered foam cushioning through the inner sole, providing maximum comfort.

Uniform-friendly designs

If you need footwear that fits with a uniform dress code, have a look at our boys' all-black trainers. We have options made from slick leather for extra smartness. Pairs built with wraparound toes are perfect for youngsters who are tough on their gear. They ensure his shoes are crafted to take plenty of wear and tear. Underneath, you'll discover long-lasting rubber outsoles to see him through active runs and playground kickabouts.

A brighter future

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join our journey, choose boys' black trainers with the 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.
