Nike Kids' Air Max 97 Shoes

We used our imagination to rethink how an Air Max 97 could feel—without changing how it looked. Made with little feet in mind, the outsole is more flexible than previous editions so kids can spring like a kangaroo and sprint like a cheetah. We also replaced the layers of stiff materials around the foot with a soft woven fabric and printed detail. It's time to move!

Walking On Air

This kids-specific Air-Sole unit under soft foam helps provide stability and flexibility where developing feet need them most.

First In The Lace Race

Elastic laces and an internal stretchy strap make it easy to slip the shoes on and get going.

Play In More Places

The tread is made with non-marking rubber, flexible grooves and cut-outs so little ones can run, stop and go on more surfaces.
