Who says kids don’t deserve big cushioning? Not us! Get a taste of legendary Tuned Air technology with these comfy kicks. With a design rooted in the original Air Max Plus (look for a whale’s tail near the bottom), these sneakers have been updated with a fun, vivid grid of colors to help you make a splashy statement as you play. Benefits Textile upper adds lightweight, breathable comfort for little feet. Originally designed for performance running, a Max Air unit in the heel gives little feet lightweight cushioning so they can play all day. Bringing the beach to the streets, the prominent plastic arch near the midsole draws inspiration from a whale's tail and adds structure. The iconic wavy finger overlays are a nod to palm trees and ocean waves. Grooves in the outsole are designed to add flexibility so each step feels natural for little feet.
