Because ice-cream trucks, games of tag and races to the end of the street and back can only wait for so long, Nike made it easy for kids to slip the Star Runner on and get going. Soft cushioning in the midsole provides a comfortable, springy feel so every skip, hop and stride they take. The tread grabs at pavement, grass and gravel to give them extra grip while a rubber-wrapped toe toughens up the construction.
