Here's what we know about the Nike Swoosh

According to a news release from the company, the Swoosh "can bend in all directions, helping to provide kids the mobility they need to mimic the feeling of cruising around barefoot." They also shared that the shoe is the first of their Nike Kids shoes to receive the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance.

A "kids first approach"

The Swoosh isn't the first kids shoe designed by Nike, it joins the Nike Dynamo Go and Nike Air Max 270 Go. But this one has been designed with the earliest walkers in mind and aims to promote "natural gait development."

It looks like a durable and flexible shoe

The Nike Swoosh consists of a "seamless Flyknit upper, made with 80 percent recycled materials by weight, provides 360 degrees of pliable support. The lightweight TPU outsole is grippy for traction and durability." There is also a wide toe box to allow room for little toes to "splay and flex naturally."

The Nike Swoosh is not available yet for purchase, and will release globally in sizes 3C through 7C.
