Nike Kids' Air Max 97 Shoes

We used our imaginations to rethink how an Air Max 97 could feelwithout changing its iconic look. Made with kids in mind, the outsole is more flexible than in previous editions. Plus, we swapped out layers of stiff material around the foot in favour of a soft woven fabric. Lace them up and let kids spring like a kangaroo into playtime.

Walking on Air

This kids-specific Air unit helps provide the perfect amount of cushioning and support where developing feet need them most.

Lace Up

The elastic laces and an internal stretchy strap help make it easy to slip these shoes on and get going.

Play in more places

The non-marking rubber tread has flexible grooves and cut-outs so little feet can run, stop and go on more surfaces.

More benefits

• The midsole foam sits on top of the Air unit to help provide a soft and stable platform for little feet.
• The pull tabs on the tongue and heel help make these easy to get on.
