Nike Free for Kids: Stylish Sneakers Supporting Natural Foot Development
If you know me, this might sound funny coming from someone who loves heels— the higher, the better. My most uncomfortable, expensive shoes are my favorites. But now that I have a growing son, ensuring his feet are healthy is a top priority. I recently came across an article from the Natural Running Center that emphasizes the importance of children playing barefoot or wearing shoes that support natural foot development and proper biomechanics. My husband, who’s in the fitness industry, does everything barefoot, so I understand the value of natural movement.
When shopping for shoes for my son, Mario, I prefer to invest in one or two higher-quality pairs that simulate barefoot conditions, rather than opting for multiple cheaper, uncomfortable, stiff shoes. My go-to for Mario is the Nike Free Series. These sneakers not only promote foot strength but also look much cooler and more fashionable than most options on the market. Plus, they come in fun pop colors, letting your little ones express their personality. Even Aila Wang wears them—paired with a leather dress and a kid-sized Chanel bag, of course!
Here are a few color choices from the Nike Store of the Nike Free series for Kids, and if you do not find a color combo here for your Little One you can Customize your own Pair (picking out your own upper, overlay, swoosh, lace, lining, loop, and sole color)! How Cool is that?
Me and my son in our Nike Free Sneakers. My son wears his Nike Free sneakers with everything, he has this Blue pair and a Neon Green Pair, he happily picks out which color he wants to wear every day and Loves his Shoes! And a Tip, I throw them in the washing machine when they get dirty and they hold up perfectly, these really are Awesome Shoes!
