Children's and baby's Air Max Nike trainers

What is the Air Max Nike range for children?

The Air Max Nike children’s range includes lifestyle sneakers derived from adult models, adapted for younger feet. It is recognised by its cushioned sole with a visible air bubble, originally designed for walking comfort but gradually becoming a daily shoe worn outside of sports. On Foot-Store, this selection covers baby and junior sizes, to support a child from their first steps to primary school.

What Air Max models are available for juniors and babies?

The selection changes with the seasons and offers lines like the Air Max Fire and the AirMax Fire, two models designed for everyday use with a cushioned sole suited to small feet. Other lines from the Air Max family, such as the AirMax 270, the AirMax Bia, or the AirMax Phoenix, regularly supplement the catalogue based on arrivals and available sizes. Each model retains the specific construction of the Air Max universe, featuring a breathable upper and a sole designed to absorb everyday impacts.

How to choose a size of Air Max for a child or baby?

The choice of size primarily depends on the age and the actual foot size, which should be measured regularly as children grow quickly. For toddlers, it's best to opt for a baby pair with a little space in front of the toes, without excess to avoid rubbing. For a walking or running child, a junior Air Max in the exact size of the foot ensures better support during active days. If in doubt between two sizes, it's generally advised to go for the larger size rather than the smaller one.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a child’s Air Max and an adult Air Max?

The Air Max for children takes the design and construction from adult models, but in sizes and proportions suitable for smaller feet. The cushioned sole and air bubble are maintained, sometimes with reinforced support to accompany younger walkers.

Are Air Max suitable for children who run a lot?

The Air Max are primarily lifestyle shoes, designed for everyday use rather than intensive sports activities. They are well-suited for the playground or outings, but a child who regularly plays a sport in a club is better off choosing sport-specific shoes for their discipline.

Can a pair of children’s Air Max be washed?

Most children’s Air Max can be cleaned by hand with warm water and a soft cloth, avoiding the washing machine which may damage the sole and upper. It’s best to let the sneakers air dry away from direct heat sources.

At what age can one wear Air Max?

The Air Max range is available in baby sizes from the first steps and in junior sizes for older kids, extending to primary school and beyond. The choice between the two mainly depends on the foot size rather than a specific age.

How can I find out if a pair of children’s Air Max is available in the desired size?

Available sizes vary by model and change regularly with restocks. The simplest way is to check the model page that interests you, where the sizes still in stock are listed.
