Where It All Began
Nike Elite socks are actually the first Nike socks to feature a specific left and right foot. That's because they're filled with enhanced cushioning specifically designed around the curves of the feet and ankle. This makes them fit more snugly. Impressive, right? The design also provides foot-strike cushioning in special pressure points to reduce stress and prevent your child from abrasions when they're running and jumping.
The Perfect Style
The cool part about Nike Elite socks is that they come in many different styles, including the Nike 6 Pack Cushioned Crew Socks. These come up mid-calf, so they're perfect for pairing with shorts to show them off. They also feature Dri-FIT technology for keeping little toes comfortable. The Nike 6 Pack Cushioned Quarter Socks are similar, but they come up just past the ankle. This makes them better for showing off new kicks. And if your kid really hates the idea of their socks showing, you can get them the Nike 6 Pack Cushioned No-Show Socks. These hide away just beneath the edge of their sneaker, giving a sockless appearance.
More Than Just Socks
After taking the world by storm in 2007, the Nike Elite line grew to include more than just socks. You'll find everything you need to build up your kid's wardrobe here. You might want to grab the Nike Elite Stripe Shorts, which feature similar sweat-wicking technology to keep your child's feet dry during intense moments. Plus, the elastic waistband helps them fit even after a growth spurt. Pair it with a Nike Dry Elite T-Shirt, and they'll be ready for the big game.
Of course, kid's Nike basketball socks aren't the only options out there. You may want thicker socks for cooler weather or thinner socks for everyday wear. Browse other kids' socks if you need something a little more casual.
