Kids' Basketball Shoes

Kids’ Basketball Shoes

When equipping your kids with basketball shoes, you're not just buying kicks—you’re investing in their future game. Whether your child is driving to the hoop or perfecting their three-pointers, the right pair of shoes can make all the difference. And what better way to get them excited than lacing them up in shoes inspired by the pros they look up to?

Take Ja Morant, the explosive point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies. His signature line, the Nike Ja 1, is built for speed, agility and high-flying dunks—perfect for any young baller who wants to take it to the rim like Ja. Then there’s the unstoppable Sabrina Ionescu, a rising star for the New York Liberty, whose Nike Sabrina 1 shoes offer serious grip for those game-changing crossovers and fast breaks. These shoes will support your kid’s game—and their feet—while keeping them stylish on and off the court.

At Hibbett, you’ll find these top-tier kicks and more. They are designed to help your child perform their best while rocking the coolest styles. With the proper pair, they'll be ready to ball out like the pros when they’re hitting layups, grabbing rebounds and practicing that killer jump shot. Shop online or in-store today.

The Best Kids’ Basketball Shoes for Growing Feet

Give your child the shoes they need to learn and perfect their game while protecting their growing feet. Renowned brands like Nike, adidas, Jordan, Under Armour and others pack their shoes with top-notch features to boost performance, comfort and that all-important style kids want.

Cushioning for Comfort and Bounce

Kids need shoes that can absorb the impact from all those jumps, pivots and quick sprints. Comfort is a given with Nike’s Air Zoom cushioning, adidas' Boost foam, Jordan’s Air Sole unit and other innovations. These systems provide excellent bounce, giving young players the support they need while keeping them light on their feet.

Ankle Support for Stability

Basketball is all about quick cuts, sharp pivots and sudden stops. That’s why our kids’ basketball shoe selection offers superior ankle support, helping prevent injuries while letting kids move freely. High top and mid top designs are especially great for providing that extra stability, keeping their ankles locked in whether they’re driving to the hoop or playing tough defense.

Traction for Grip

Slipping on the court? Not with these stellar basketball shoes. Look for shoes with herringbone traction patterns—like those found in the Nike Kobe 8 and the Nike Sabrina 2, which provide incredible grip on indoor and outdoor courts. This traction ensures kids can pivot quickly, sprint and stop without losing their footing, keeping them in control of the game.

Lightweight Materials for Speed

Lightweight shoes mean faster moves. Brands like Nike and Under Armour use materials like Flyknit or mesh uppers to ensure their shoes are breathable and lightweight without sacrificing durability. For players who rely on speed, like kids who admire Ja Morant’s lightning-fast drives, these shoes keep them quick on their feet and ready to blow past defenders.

With shoes designed for comfort, support, and performance, kids can hit the court with confidence, knowing their gear is built to help them play their best.

Can Girls Wear Boys’ Basketball Shoes?

Absolutely. In fact, many WNBA players wear men’s sneakers throughout their careers. And if your little Breanna Stewart or Jonquel Jones has her eyes on boys’ kicks, you don’t have to worry about varying sizes either. Unlike adult sneakers, kids’ basketball shoes offer consistent sizing from boys to girls.
