Check out our favorite back-to-school running shoe styles so your child can be prepared for whatever the school year throws at them, from daily comfort to performance on the court.
New shoes are the back-to-school classic staple, and your child needs to be comfortable and stylish, whether they take your child to preschool for the first time or carry them across the graduation stage. Some of our school yard faves include JAPAN STM GRADE SCHOOL shoes, SNAPDOWNTM 3 GRADE SCHOOL shoes, GEL-RESOLUTION® 9 GRADE SCHOOL shoes, CONTENDTM 8 PRE-SCHOOL and CONTENDTM 8 GRADE SCHOOL, and the GT-1000 TM 12 shoes.
JAPAN S™ TODDLER, PRESCHOOL and GRADE SCHOOL shoes
Originally making their debut in 1981, the JAPAN S™ shoe is now available in toddler, preschool and grade school sizes. These shoes feature a reworked design with a low-top silhouette and nostalgic colorways. Mimicking the aesthetic of a retro basketball sneaker, the JAPAN S™ GRADE SCHOOL shoes have a modified cup sole and a roomy toe-box, providing long-lasting cushioning and comfort. Featuring the throwback ASICS stripes branding and lettering, this shoe is a dynamic adaptation of a classic.
SNAPDOWN™ 4 GRADE SCHOOL shoes
The SNAPDOWN™ 4 GRADE SCHOOL shoe is a wrestling-style shoe that features a superior foothold and shoelace garages to store and hold your laces out of the way. The shoes’ upper has stitch-down overlays and mesh underlays that provide ventilation and allow your kid’s feet to breathe. The circular grips on the outsole are designed to provide traction on mat surfaces and the kimono-inspired tongue helps create a better fit and grips your child’s feet for better freedom of movement. This style is a unisex option and can handle the rigors of your kid’s whole season.
GEL-RESOLUTION® 9 GRADE SCHOOL shoes
The GEL-RESOLUTION® 9 Grade School shoes are tennis shoes most suited to baseline players who move side to side along the baseline of a tennis court. These unisex shoes can help your child find stability on the court and provide comfort off-court, featuring forefoot GEL® technology to help provide cushioning and impact support. Wide grooves on the outsole help support you when you make quick shifts in direction. Additionally, the GEL-RESOLUTION® 9 Grade shoes are designed with kids in mind for a firm fit that accommodates growing feet.
CONTEND™ 8 PRE-SCHOOL and GRADE SCHOOL shoes
We designed the CONTEND™ 8 PRE-SCHOOL and GRADE SCHOOL children’s shoes with kids in mind. These shoes best support neutral pronation and are designed with a toecap, rubber toe stitching, and solid rubber outsole for durability. The CONTEND™ 8 PRE-SCHOOL and CONTEND™ 8 GRADE SCHOOL shoes are a unisex option, and the PRE-SCHOOL style includes a CUB MATCH sock liner to help your child learn their right shoe from their left shoe.
GT-1000™ 12 GRADE SCHOOL shoes
The GT-1000™ 12 GRADE SCHOOL shoes feature advanced cushioning and technology while keeping the durability and flexibility your child needs in mind. Our LITETRUSS® support system in the midsole will increase stability while EVA. technology and GEL® cushioning provide impact absorption and cushioning. This unisex model is built with growing feet in mind and provides superior durability and support for neutral pronation or overpronation.
