Incorporating an out-of-this-world design and innovative technology never seen in a Nike kids’ sneaker, the new Nike Cosmic Runner is a versatile kids’ running shoe offering the support, comfort and durability kids need when on the move. Designed for children of all ages and abilities, the Cosmic Runner features a modern and playful style and is built for both sport and play.

The Nike kids’ Cosmic Runner is equipped with features that both kids and parents will love. It is the first kids’ silhouette to feature durable layered printing that adds texture and helps protect the mesh from scraping. Kids are drawn to the 3-D effect, while parents appreciate the practicality and durability the technology provides.

“The Cosmic Runner introduces technology that we’ve never used in kids’ running footwear before,” says Cal Dowers, VP, Global Kids. “We are committed to bringing innovation, combined with comfort and durability, that keeps kids playing, running and dreaming big.”

The ultra-durable, flexible and comfortable sneaker is suited for all kids, whether they run on the regular or just need a shoe to help them move with confidence from one activity to the next. The shoe features a reinforced toe-tip and full rubber outsole which incorporates a pull tab, making the sneaker easy to get in and out of. Additionally, a one-piece upper eliminates seams, delivering added comfort.

The Nike Cosmic Runner is well-suited for kids of all ages in both form and function. Slight design modifications to the baby and toddler sizes — including adjusted patterns and elastic laces for easy entry — will please the parents of the littlest wearers, while the sneaker’s futuristic, playful style and minimalist construction will appeal to both older and younger kids. You can find the Cosmic Runner in six bold and fun colorways kids love: black/white, blue/gold, black/neon green, lavender/fuchsia, red/black/white and hot pink/black/white.

On November 1, 2024, the Nike Cosmic Runner released worldwide in big kids’ sizing at nike.com and select retail locations. Baby, toddler and little kids’ sizes are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
