Let’s hear from Striper Mercedes from Amsterdam, who selected the top 4 kids’ shoes of the season and the best ways to style your champs with them:
Introduce their little feet to a classic's durability, cushioning, and feel with the Nike Air Force 1 that brings back the '82 hardwood icon into an everyday style. These shoes come with real and synthetic leather that is durable and easy to clean, a soft foam that provides classic cushioning, and a rubber sole that brings durable traction.
A pure classic, Mercedes introduces the Nike Air Force 1 as a sneaker for both boys and girls. These all-white shoes can be worn however they like - with trousers or skirts, and the laces tied up or loosened. She’s confident there’s no question of going wrong in them, making it right on top of the list for your kids this season.
Ground Up is a new brand that's reimagining premier licensed footwear. From Disney, Marvel, Nickelodeon, and more, they craft playful and trendy everyday sneakers with animated heroes and princesses we all loved as kids. These would make for very cool kicks for the little enthusiastic fan at home and the perfect way to grow up with their heroes.
The Mickey Mouse shoe from their collection is a great option, Mercedes says. It can be styled perfectly with several different outfits that your kids love to wear. And, of course, there are many other cartoon heroes and princesses to choose from, making it a super vibrant option.
The Nike Air Max Plus TN is another classic that can’t be missed this season. Packed with retro energy, these sneakers are perfect for fun activities and explorations. Featuring wavy design lines, the textile upper delivers breathable comfort and a bold, edgy look all in one go. Working with the Max Air Unit, the foam midsole ensures great cushioning and responsiveness with every stride.
In the video, Mercedes explains how the neon green element in the design adds a pop of color to the outfit when your kid is dressed in neutrals like black or white. It also glows in the dark, making it even more exciting for the little explorers- boys and girls alike!
The adidas Superstar shoes have been a symbol of expressive style for 50 years and counting. Once a hardwood go-to and now a streetwear icon, the shoes reign supreme when it comes to casual, confident style. These juniors' adidas shoes carry the well-loved legacy with a chunky cupsole, serrated 3-Stripes, and the signature shell toe. Classic colors make them easy to pair with all outfits. Made with a series of recycled materials, this upper features at least 50% recycled content.
Another reliable classic, the adidas Superstar can be paired with just about anything - neutrals like black, white, and even colorful outfits. Mercedes points out that she loves the details and the adidas logo on these shoes, making them a great pair to wear to school.
