Boys' Nike Huarache

One of the coolest things about kids' Nike Huarache shoes is how they hug your little one's growing feet. For example, the neoprene inner bootie of the Nike Huarache Run offers a snug fit that helps your growing athlete maintain their balance as they get more confident in their stride. And because of the extra stretch, your child will stay comfortable when their feet start growing.

Inspired by Vacation

Boys' Nike Huarache were the brainchild of Tinker Hatfield, Nike's legendary designer who also had a hand in top shoe models like kids' Nike Presto shoes and kids' Nike Little Posite shoes. Oddly enough, the idea for the Huarache line came into his head while he was on a water skiing trip. As he was putting his foot into the slalom ski bootie, he had the brilliant idea to create a lightweight marathon shoe runners could use to gain an edge over the competition.

After the first Huarache release in 1991 was met with approval from top runners across the country, Nike expanded the lineup into the models you see today, like the Nike Huarache Extreme and the Nike Huarache E.D.G.E. All of these models offer the perfect mix of protection, containment, and insulation your little one needs as they take on the world of sports. 

A Strappy Icon

Part of what makes boys' Huarache shoes so iconic are the big and bold features in every design. For the Nike Huarache Extreme, the focal point is the thick dynamic straps across the forefoot in place of laces. In the Nike Huarache Run, it's the dynamic heel cage that offers additional support. And in the Nike Huarache E.D.G.E., the heel tabs are the main star of the show.

Though every model is slightly different, it's clear that boys' Huarache shoes all stem from the same inspiration. Chunky, bold style reigns supreme here, making these shoes an item your kids will love.
