Great Quality And Value

Birth these in sale and they are great quality for my son. Fit is true to size. Would buy again.

Great Everyday Shoe For Kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these shoes for my nephew, and he absolutely loves them! They fit comfortably and provide great support, making them perfect for everyday wear and PE class. The design is stylish yet versatile and the color goes with everything, so he can easily match them with different outfits. He also gets a lot of compliments from his friends at school, which is a nice bonus! One of the best features is the strap, which makes them super easy to slip on and off which is perfect for when he’s on the go. If there was one thing I’d change, it might be offering more color options, but overall, this is a fantastic shoe for active kids. Highly recommend!

Ja2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves the shoes. He is playing lil kids basketball right now so they are perfect for the court. He says they are comfortable and he likes the color of them.

Daughter Loves These

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5 year old daughter loves these. She recently started getting into basketball, and these shoes are great for that. She still doesn't know how to tie her shoes, so the velcro easy on strap makes these very easy and convenient for her and myself. They are true to size and very breathable as well. She likes wearing them almost everyday because they're very comfortable for her. The only thing I personally don't like are the neon green color around the Nike symbol. I mean, overall they're great and there's nothing to complain about. We both love them. Now I just need them in different colors lol.

All Star Shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Ja 2 Little Kids shoe is a great shoe for any kid. My daughter was worried she wouldn’t like them because of the color and they did not disappoint. Once she tried them on she was in love! I appreciate the color blocking on this shoe as it is reminiscent of older Nike models. There was a concern due to how snug they felt initially but after running a few laps around the playground with her brother, she has had no complaints. Parents, this shoe is a must have and we would definitely recommend going true to size. The materials used on these are very durable which is always good to hear with the younger kids! We will definitely be getting more to add to her options.

Good Basketball Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe provides good support yet lightweight. Great grip. Our favorite part about the shoe is the subtle change of color when the light hits it right. I only took away one star because I do wish they had more youth basketball shoes that offer lace up shoe laces, however there is a benefit to not having to worry about the laces becoming untied. Overall a well designed shoe, and due to the quality of materials I feel like these shoes will hold up well.

Great Everyday Shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a shoe that offers a ton of features perfect for a growing toddler. They are stylist, ease to put on independently and thick rubber soles for durability. Comfort - My son loves the support and cushion of these shoes. As soon as he put them on, he does what he always does and ran a good 20 ft and came back. He gave me the thumbs up in approval. Durability - The soles on these shoes appear to be well designed with some extra rubber in all the right places. If you have kids, you know how hard they can be on shoes. My only concern for long term durability is the mesh top - very easy to get dirty or snag, but time will tell. Ease of putting on independently - 10/10. Super easy. Wide opening. Velcro works great. Style - Can’t beat the style of these shoes. They are a show stopper wherever you go.

Ja 2 Little Kid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ja 2 little kid is stylish fashionable kid shoe which is extremely lightweight and comfortable. My 6 year old loves the shoe especially since the comfort level is through the roof. The Ja 2 is great shoe for casual wear as well as a shoe wearable while playing sports. The velcro straps is also an attractive feature which draws attention from a positive aspect. I would highly recommend the Ja 2 for your kiddo if you like a fashionable comfortable shoe.

Great Shoes For My Toddler

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say these shoes are fantastic. I have a large collection of basketball shoes and noticed my son trying putting them on, so I thought it would be the right time to start his collection. Anytime it’s time to go outside, I grab him the shoes and it goes with all of his outfits. They’re great for outside activity and most importantly playing some basketball. I bought him a basketball hoop recently and it’s always funny seeing him try to dunk. Worth every penny and can’t wait to buy him more shoes in the future.

Ja 2 Little Kids' Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Nike Ja 2 Little Kids’ Shoes as a gift for my nephew, and he absolutely loves them! He thinks they’re super cool, and I have to agree—the design is both stylish and perfect for young, active kids. I got them in a half size larger to give him some room to grow, and they fit him well without being too loose. The plush, springy foam cushioning provides excellent comfort, reducing the impact of his movements and ensuring a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The lightweight mesh upper keeps his feet cool during playtime, which is a big plus. One feature that stands out is the internal containment system; it holds his heel and ankle securely, giving him the support he needs during both playtime and sports activities. The durable rubber outsole with a multidirectional traction pattern provides stability, allowing him to change directions quickly and confidently. The hook-and-loop strap makes it easy for him to put the shoes on and take them off by himself, promoting independence. Overall, the Nike Ja 2 Little Kids’ Shoes combine style, comfort, and functionality, making them a great choice for active youngsters. Just an FYI, it would be nice if tracking was provided for the items when they’re sent out.

Great Shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ja 2 are super easy to put on for younger kids. My son is 4 and is loving his Ja’s, besides being easy to put on, they’re also comfortable and works well with running and playing. The design is simple, so the shoes matches clothing easily. Would definitely recommend for those who have younger kids who can’t tie shoes yet.

Soaring High In Ja 2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a very energetic, outgoing and personable little boy, these ja 2 fit him like a charm. From the time we opened them to him putting them on, he automatically thought he could fly in them. We always look for a shoe that is flexible, easy to put on, and easy to tie And this shoe did all the above. The fit ran a little small but not small enough where they couldn’t be worn. It felt light on the foot and perfect. Didn’t make the foot too hot and held the foot in place. The design of the shoe is a great design for kids considering there is no lace and there don’t flip flop on the foot. The colors was fine on the shoe. I loved the black as dirt wont show as easily. The neon outline made it look cool for the kids. Loves the different dressing section with the swoosh, the mesh and the back. The fabric is breathable and light weight which will keep kids feet from sweating and stinking. Loved the fact of no laces which meant kids can put them on by themselves. would possibly keep the tongues the same color as I first thought it was a mistake.

Quality Shoe And A Looker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Ja2 midnight colorway for my son and it's fantastic. Usually, getting the little kids version of any shoe is a gigantic step back in quality / looks but the Ja2 is nowhere near the same level of claw back that normally seen. The soles are grippy and high quality. The design/glue/liner are all higher quality as well. They look awesome and my kid immediately wanted to go use them (even though they are still just a tad too big on him; always try to buy shoes they can grow into).

Comfy And Convenient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little one enjoyed wearing these to run! She said they are super comfortable she wants to wear them as regular shoes. That’s a good sign especially for this picky lil one. We love a good mesh shoe to prevent stinky feet or to do an easy clean up. Also it provides great stretch and not tight on her foot. No laces to fight with will always be our favorite as the lil ones are able to put their own shoes on with ease. The black color is nice to go with anything but would definitely prefer them a different color next time! Overall it’s a great shoe and would recommend.
