Kids' Strap Trainers & Shoes

Our kids' strap trainers are made for busy days, quick changes and non-stop movement. They help young athletes get ready fast, with secure strap fastenings that are simple to adjust and easy to use. We have baby and toddler sizes for fledgling walkers, alongside younger kids’ shoes and older kids’ running styles. Pull tabs, stretchy panels and padded collars let little feet slide in smoothly. Meanwhile, supportive shapes keep them steady as they run, jump and explore.

Built for busy, active youngsters

Children’s strap trainers need to handle a lot. PE lessons. Playground games. Weekend sport. Everyday adventures. Our kids' hook and loop trainers combine lightweight uppers with responsive cushioning. That ensures their footwear sets them free to move, wherever the day takes them. Mesh inserts help airflow around the foot when the pace picks up. Underfoot, flexible grooves in the outsole support natural movement while also providing good grip. Keep an eye out for pairs with Nike Air units. They soak up shocks and impacts for lasting comfort during running, playtime, and outdoor time.

Grip that keeps up

Whether they are changing direction in a game or racing across the playground, reliable traction matters. Rubber outsoles give our kids' strap trainers good control on a range of surfaces. For indoor PE, look for non-marking soles on selected styles. They ensure kids can move confidently without damaging the surface they're training on. Seeking out footwear for extra stability? Choose pairs with wider bases and foam-wrapped heel support. They're great for quick turns, stop-start drills and all the everyday movement that comes between.

Comfort for school days and weekends

Our kids' strap trainers are built for support, wherever the day's adventures take them. Soft foam cushioning helps them stay energised and comfy as they're dashing about. Up top, uppers made with lightweight materials keep things easy and flexible. For freedom around the ankle, look out for low-top silhouettes. Meanwhile, mid-top or basketball-inspired designs offer an added stability and supportive feel. Adjustable fastenings make it simple to fine-tune the fit, so kids can get the right hold before heading out. That means less fuss, more independence and footwear that works from morning to evening.

Styles for every stage

Growing feet need the right balance of comfort, protection and room to move. Baby and toddler shoes focus on soft support and easy entry, with flexible soles that suit early steps. Younger kids’ strap trainers are made for everyday play, combining durable materials with secure closures. Older kids’ running and training shoes bring a more performance-led feel. Expect breathable uppers, cushioned midsoles and traction patterns built for active movement. PIcking out footwear for warm-weather adventures? Look out for sandal-inspired designs and cut-out silhouettes that offer extra airflow in hotter conditions.

Move to Zero

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. To join us, choose kids' strap 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.
