Kids’ shoes keep them dreaming and going

Sometimes it’s the smallest among us who possess the biggest dreams. And really, what sports-minded kid didn’t day dream about hitting a clutch shot to win a game of some kind?

In many ways, it’s kids who keep alive the notion that just maybe anything really can happen.

And whether it’s comic books, films, streaming shows, or the games kids love to watch, regular people become superheroes while we wish we could do what they do.

That’s where kids’ shoes come in. We may never dunk a ball or score the winning run, goal, or point, but we can own one small part of our heroes.

Kids are watching your kicks

The Air Jordan line of signature basketball shoes has been the gold standard of on-court performance footwear since 1985. But those who missed the original releases have been able to own a piece of the Michael Jordan legacy since his namesake brand began re-releasing those models in the mid-’90s. Kids’ Jordan Retro releases let the little ones get in on the stories, too.

Kids’ Nike Air Max running silhouettes let them rock the first shoe that put Nike Air cushioning on display with a clear window under the heel. The Air Revolution was underway with that 1987 release, and Air Max units have been a must-have for sneaker collections ever since.

Kids’ Nike shoes don’t stop there. The kids’ Nike Air Force 1 puts the young ones into one of the most popular and enduring looks in sneaker history. Begun in 1982 with the “Original Six” – six pro stars who introduced the shoe to the public while wearing flight suits – the Air Force 1 was the first basketball shoe to feature Nike Air cushioning. Its clean, simple lines have kept it at the front of fans’ minds ever since.

Looks for everyone

Timberland has mastered the look of work wear and street smart. And kids’ Timberlands are built not just to look awesome but to cushion feet for all-day wear, too.

Nothing embodies the nomadic idea of boundless energy better than a kid. And that’s the spirit the 3-Stripes set out to capture with the kids’ adidas original NMDs. Boost cushioning is one of the most comfortable developments in the sneaker world, ensuring kids keep going like a bunny with fresh batteries.

And perhaps most exciting for kids scrolling through their options, there are a lot of cross-gender options. There isn’t a tremendous difference in kids’ feet at that age, so shoes are built similarly. That opens up a world of style options for the next generation.
