Kids’ Gazelle Indoor Shoes
The adidas Gazelle has become a streetwear icon over the years, with its low-cut style and T-toe overlay. Now, kids can get it on the fashion staple with this faithful juniors’ version.

Men’s SL 72 Rs Shoes
These sporty sneakers are sneakily fashionable, with a retro style and fun colors that are effortlessly cool. The SL stands for “super light,” as they were originally designed as a racing shoe when introduced in the 1970s. Today’s version honors that heritage with good looks and a sturdy rubber outsole that easily translates from classroom to schoolyard. These are available in dozens of colorways — some bright and bold, others muted and neutral — in men’s sizes 4 through 14.

Kids’ Campus 00s X Minecraft Shoes
This collab between adidas and Minecraft — the wildly popular video game (and now movie) — is a must for young gamers. The Minecraftian details are subtle enough that these shoes can easily pass as a cool, monochromatic green sneaker, which makes it easy to pair them with practically any outfit. But kids will love the tiny shout-outs to their beloved game, like the little creeper near the toe and the pixelated 3-Stripes on the sides.

Men’s Runfalcon 5 Running Shoes
If you have a young athlete, these budget-friendly running shoes are the perfect combo of form and function. They have a breathable mesh upper and durable outsole for comfort and confidence. But even better, the cushy Cloudfoam midsole provides both softness and support, whether they’re roaming the halls from class to class or running around the track after school. Get them in a handful of neutral colorways, in men’s sizes 6.5 through 15.

Kids’ Handball Spezial Shoes
These scaled-down Handball Spezial shoes are just as timeless and stylish for little ones as they are for adults. Available in little kids’ sizes 10.5K through 3, they boast a classic T-toe style and a cool, serrated 3-Stripes design on the side. More importantly, they provide grippy traction for safely running around the schoolyard, and they come in lots of colorways to match your little one’s favorite hue.

Men’s Ultraboost 1.0 Shoes
