Back-to-school shopping usually means grabbing notebooks and pens, maybe even a new backpack. But don’t forget the kicks! Here at Millennium Shoes, we have a range of running shoes for kids and everyday sneakers. Got a bigger kid? We’ve got plenty of shoes for teens, too!
Air Jordan 1 Mid Black University Red
Can you believe that the Air Jordan 1 has been around for more than 40 years? And yes, it's still one of the best-selling shoes for teens! The Mid Black University Red in particular keeps that classic Jordan look but brings in a black-and-red color combo that’s hard to miss.
They look good of course, but more than that, these kicks have premium materials that give them that signature AJ1 feel. The padded ankle collar and the Air-Sole unit tucked into the heel keep the retro shape from feeling too stiff.
Adidas Samba OG Black and White
The Adidas Samba goes all the way back to the 1960s, when versions of the shoe were worn by soccer players. The kids’ Samba OG Black and White keeps that old-school look alive with a leather upper, classic 3-Stripes, as well as that caramel-colored rubber outsole that you’ll easily recognize.
New Balance 9060 Lace Oxford Blue Grey Matter
Does your kid like chunky sneakers with a little Y2K flavor? Put the New Balance 9060 Lace Oxford Blue Grey Matter on the list.
The 9060 takes details from New Balance’s classic 99X sneakers and gives them a much bolder look that you’ll find in these running shoes for kids. You’ve got wavy lines along with oversized proportions and expanded sway bars inspired by the 990, so there’s a lot happening without the shoe feeling messy. The ABZORB and SBS cushioning underneath also keeps things comfortable for all-day wear.
Air Jordan 4
The Air Jordan 4 has been getting attention since 1989 has somehow managed to stay high on the list of must-have shoes for teens even until now. Details like the floating eyelets and unmistakable tongue give the AJ4 a look you can spot pretty quickly, while full-grain leather and premium textiles keep things feeling polished. At Millennium Shoes, you can check out different colorways, including the Retro Comic if your kid wants something with a little more personality.
And while the AJ4 has serious basketball roots, it works just as well for everyday wear. Nike Air technology helps absorb impact and the soft foam midsole adds lightweight cushioning. Meanwhile, the rubber outsole gives your kid durable traction for all that walking around campus.
New Balance 1906R Phantom Black
Got a kid who’s always moving? The New Balance 1906R Phantom Black is worth a look, especially if you’re hunting for running shoes for kids that can also work with their everyday fits.
The 1906R brings back that technical running-shoe look from the 2000s, complete with an open mesh upper and sleek overlays. The Phantom Black colorway keeps everything looking clean, too, so your kid shouldn’t have much trouble pairing these with the rest of their wardrobe.
Underfoot is where things get interesting, as New Balance combines ABZORB cushioning with N-ergy shock absorption and ABZORB SBS heel pods to help keep your kid’s every step comfortable.
