Boys' Running Shoes

When we launched our first boys' running shoes in 1971, we knew we were onto something special. And we've kept moving forward ever since. We design and manufacture our Nike boys' training shoes with the same pro-quality materials we use for our adult range, to give the next generation of athletes the footwear they deserve. Expect next-level attention to detail in every element, from padded collars that help prevent blisters to durable outsoles that are built to go the distance as kids hone their speed and stamina.

Wherever and however your aspiring athlete likes to run, we have an outsole design to suit his chosen terrain. Open-trail lovers will appreciate boys' running trainers with deep treads and broad soles that provide stability on wet, muddy or uneven surfaces. If he prefers running on the road or track, long-lasting rubber outsoles will see him through every stride and mile. For young runners who like plenty of flexibility in their footwear, opt for styles with strategically placed grooves that ensure maximum range of movement with each step.

A pair of well-cushioned shoes is a must to give future running stars the protection their growing joints and muscles need. Our Nike Air units provide exceptional shock absorption with a responsive, springy feel that sets them free to fly. Combine that with soft, lightweight cushioning that runs from the toe to the midsole to soak up impact, and our running shoes for boys deliver the support he deserves.

From park runs and PE lessons to lightning-fast sprints and endurance events—running hard means working up a sweat. We craft our boys' running shoes from lightweight materials that let his feet breathe. We also add targeted ventilation to high-heat areas to help him stay cool and focused for longer. And because the perfect fit is essential, you'll find a choice of lace-up and velcro fastenings to suit his preference.
