How many times have you suffered through a chilly lecture hall or have your kids complained about a cold high school classroom? The No. 1 way to stay warm while studying or taking notes? Nike Tech Fleece.

First released a decade ago, Tech Fleece is a staple for the new school year. The latest innovation is what we’re calling “the reboot.” Still made from warm, lightweight fleece, the new Nike Tech Fleece collection offers even smoother materials in mineral-inspired colorways designed to be dressed up or down, cementing Tech Fleece styles as seamless staples for any wardrobe.

Nike Dunks

Whether you wear them low or high, men’s, toddler, preschool and grade school Nike Dunks are high on the list of hottest sneakers on the market right now for their style, comfort and collectibility. The kicks first launched all the way back when your parents were kids (i.e., forever ago), but if you’re Gen Z or Alpha and looking for a pair of sneakers that will make you stand out, Dunks give you that retro, trendy vibe.

A pair of Nike Dunks in grade school sizes are the perfect way for elementary students to express their individuality in the halls of school. College kids and high schoolers can cop a pair of Nike Dunk collabs, like Travis Scott, Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish to wear to the pep rally or school dance. And even the littlest kids will enjoy cheerful colorways and standout style for gym class and storytime.

What's more essential for going back to the classroom than a school bag? Complete your toe-to-head look with Nike backpacks for school that blend trendy colors, styles and patterns with practical storage spaces for your laptop, binders, water bottles and pencil bags.

Crafted with the quality and durability you’ve come to expect from the Swoosh, Nike school bags are built to last. Look for sporty styles including the Nike Brasilia bag, Nike Utility Speed backpack and the Nike Sportswear Heritage and Heritage Eugene packs. Don’t forget to check out the fan-favorite Elemental Nike backpack too!

Colorful Nike Kicks

As much as we love neutrals, why be another student in the sea of black and white shoes when you (or your kid) can pick kicks that shine as bright as your personality? If your grade schooler loves neon, let them pair their passion for pink with their school fits.

Want to wear pastel Nike Dunks to that early a.m. class across campus? Embrace the soft look. Feeling fiery and need Nike sneakers to match your vibe? Don’t be afraid to embrace tonal red shoes.

Plus, when your kids feel good and have a bit of pep in their step, they're more likely to get an A+ in their confidence!

Some of the most popular Nike sneaker styles this back-to-school season include the Air Max 270, Nike Air Force One and the Nike Air Max 90.
