Kids' school trainers and shoes: the support they need
Get your young athlete ready for the term with a pair of trainers from our kids' school shoes range. From PE lessons and sports clubs to playground kickabouts and after-school park trips, our kids' school trainers provide the help and comfort growing youngsters need as they exercise. Expect soft soles that soak up impact, and our acclaimed Nike Air design for a springy, responsive feel. And with a selection of neat, uniform-friendly styles to choose from, their new footwear looks the part too.
Power their dreams
So, you're raising an aspiring footie star. A dedicated racket-sports player. A lightning-fast sprinter. A future marathon runner. Whatever their exercise passion, you'll find kids' PE trainers that set them free to unleash their potential. We have a choice of upper shapes, from padded and ankle-hugging to minimal and low-profile, with supportive cushioned insoles to give their joints and muscles the protection they need.
Performance from the ground up
Finding trainers with the best fit begins with the outsole. We make our kids' PE trainers with a selection of specially designed tread patterns to support their chosen activity. Light herringbone styles provide enough traction for them to slide all over the playing surface—ideal for racket sports. If they love to run on grass or open trails, opt for soles with flexible grooves that offer extra flexibility, allowing a natural range of motion throughout the foot. For playground fun and after-school outdoor adventures, waffle-textured outsoles are perfect for charging around on hard surfaces.
Effortless comfort with engineered uppers
Our school shoes for kids help youngsters feel comfy as they exercise. Stretchy mesh weaves combine a light, breathable design with plenty of room to move. When the weather turns cool and wet, leather and synthetic leather pairs keep them dry so they stay active. And because kids can be tough on their footwear, we make our kids' PE shoes from durable materials that are built to go the distance.
For every age and stage
We design our kids' PE trainers to be as practical as possible throughout the school day—and that includes when they're getting changed. Handy pull tabs help even the youngest athletes get their shoes on and off independently, while easy rip-tape strips and stretchy laces hold their footwear snugly in place. For older kids, lace-up fastenings make it simple to adapt the fit of their trainers to their liking. Look out for lace guards that keep everything tucked away for distraction-free wear.
For the good of our planet
It's never been more important to live, work and exercise as sustainably as possible. Nike's Move to Zero programme aims to take our company to net-zero carbon emissions and net-zero waste. As part of this commitment, we created our Flyleather material, using recycled fibres and a water-based manufacturing process to have a lower environmental impact compared to full-grain leather.
