Limited Edition Hype Sneakers Kids

Play, freedom of movement but also comfort and protection are the fundamental ingredients that characterize kids' sneakers. The traditional choice of blue for boys and pink for girls is now an outdated concept especially for the little ones who can dare (and play) more.

The streetwear giants who have managed to conquer a younger audience are well aware of this, but above all their attentive parents, with a wide range of miniature sneakers. The famous sneakers get smaller, recreating mini versions without losing sight of the distinctive elements of the original models.

Starting from sport and outdoor life, the classic models are declined in a contemporary form for school, free time or holidays in contact with nature. The red thread is always one: quality. The materials resist rain and cold, the details are functional and practical, the research on color palettes and patterns conquer the tastes of young and old.

In fact, for Millennial parents, choosing high quality products for their children is not only a necessity but now a real trend of the moment. Thanks to the influence of social new work in recent years there is in fact a greater attention to the child universe.

Precisely because we at Hype Clothinga always look to the new generations we have decided to dedicate an entire section to the best kids sneakers, from the smallest ones for newborns to slightly larger sizes. A child's foot grows rapidly, so it is essential to find the perfect size to accompany him step by step in all his adventures. Numbers can be a bit confusing, which is why we decided to write a small size guide with a focus on the iconic models of Adidas and Nike.

Adidas sizes: Infant and Kids

If there is a collab that has marked the world of sneakers in the last decade it is that of Kanye West with Adidas, who brought one of the most loved models to the market for its recognizable design and the use of innovative materials: we are talking about the iconic Yeezy. Mr. West has always been attentive to the wishes of little fans by designing a smaller version of all his most famous models.

Such as the Yeezy Boost 350 "Pirate Black", an ideal model to accommodate small feet thanks to its Primeknit construction, which can be worn like a comfortable sock. The soft upper offers ideal support and guarantees breathability. This variant forgoes bright colors for a traditional black "Pirate" with accents of gray and red in the details. You can't miss a full-length Boost midsole that provides cushioning, protected by a black rubber cage. Let's talk about sizes: infant sizes start from 16 and go up to 27, with some half sizes available for some numbers.

Of all the models, the Yeezy 700 V3 Safflower is certainly the one that can capture the attention of children for its unique appearance, halfway between a car of the future and a Transformers. What makes this sneaker special is not only its flashy look but also the use of many cutting-edge materials: in addition to the classic upper in Primeknit with yellow details in relief, we find a cage in RPU (Rigid Polyurethane) that lights up in the dark and a soft neoprene collar accompanied by a particular integrated lacing system that guarantees a perfect fit. To these elements is added the midsole in EVA Foam (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) which lightens the movement step by step. Adidas Kids sizes are available from 28 to 35.

Nike sizes: TD and PS

Even the giant Nike has always paid a lot of attention to children's footwear, creating its iconic models also in the TD and PS variants.

Nike has recruited artist Tom Sachs to design a shoe designed specifically for the little astronauts of the future: the Nike Mars Yard available in the TD (Toddler) variant, which for European sizes starts from 16 up to 27. The model is light years away from all the other shoes of the brand, the only one with which every child would like to learn to walk on Mars. The upper is constructed with an off-white mesh fabric with brown nubuck panels, a red Swoosh and red clips on the heel and tongue. The Maple and Sport Red colors characterize the design, while the adjustable hook and loop closure ensures a stable fit.

Even the iconic Jordan models have been reduced to please the little fans of the brand. Like this Air Jordan 4 Retro "Bred" in the PS (Preschool) variant with numbers starting from 27.5 up to 35.5. The durable upper is defined by black nubuck leather with soft gray and red internal padding. In addition to the Nike signature on the heel, the original Jumpman logo is also present on the sole and tongue. This model is special because it not only celebrates the 30th anniversary of the famous model, but recalls the coloring that MIchael Jordan wore when he created what was nicknamed "The Shot", one of the most legendary baskets of the 90s and of the entire history of 'NBA. A shoe brings luck for the champions of tomorrow.
