Nike Cosmic Runner: Sports Shoes for Kids

The Nike Cosmic Runner is basically everything your kid needs in a sneaker – looks good and actually works for real play. These kicks are made for kids who never stop moving, with a mesh upper that lets their feet breathe so they're not dealing with hot, sweaty feet all day long. Plus, they're made from recycled materials, so you can feel good about the environmental impact too.

What really sets these apart is the bouncy foam cushioning that makes running and jumping way more comfortable, and the durable two-piece rubber sole grips pretty much any surface they're running on. The padded collar and tongue mean no annoying rubbing or blisters, and there are handy pull tabs at the back and tongue so kids can actually get them on without a meltdown. The stretchy laces with a hook-and-loop strap make it super easy to get the fit just right in seconds – perfect for those mornings when you're already running late. And of course, they've got that classic Swoosh logo that kids love showing off wherever they go.
