Why is it that small things that look exactly like big things are so cute? Never is this more apparent than with sneakers. Kicks that look like they’ve been shrunken down in perfect proportions will never not make us happy. Going one step further, the idea that you can actually still cop the original-size pair and team up with your mini-me is the ultimate level of cute harmony.

More and more we’re seeing brands putting the same technology that’s used on adult sizes into their kids’ offering too. Take adidas as a prime example. Even shoes like the Ultraboost 22 which carry the latest in running tech are available for little ones. This is something we never would have seen a decade ago.

Below, we’ve rounded up 5 pairs of adidas shoes for kids and yourself. Whether you’re styling up for a day running errands or taking your young one out for a shootaround to teach them what being an underdog feels like, there’s a pair of adidas kicks for you both to lace up.

It’s also worth remembering that joining adiClub will earn you a helpful 15 percent and free shipping on most items. For those who were already members of the Creator’s Club, don’t worry — adiClub is the same thing with the same rewards. It’s just got a different name now.

Ultraboost 22

The adidas Ultraboost is arguably one of the Three Stripes' most popular offerings today. With a closer focus on performance with its raised heel to house more Boost spheres, the Ultraboost 22 is great for exercise, but also one of the comfiest iterations for you & your little one.

Harden Vol. 6

If you've been hitting the court with people your own size and feeling that you can't quite get your shot away in time or that your euro step doesn't reach far enough, try playing against your kid. It'll be a confidence boost, we promise. Plus, to make it worth their while, you can be sure to cop them a pair of Harden's latest signature shoe.

Forum Mid

The Forum has been a big fixture in our rotations over the last year. Hype around the silhouette built thanks to a handful of collaborations and a shift in interest towards retro-style silhouettes. Let your little one get in on the hype, too.
