Independence is the feature. EasyOn is the construction Nike uses on its kids' shoes so children can get them on without help, and the preschool version works with a hook-and-loop strap while the laces stay purely decorative. Toddler pairs use a wide slip-in opening instead. The colours here are quiet and warm: Phantom, an off-white, sits alongside Light Orewood Brown, with black and khaki taking the small parts. A leather upper handles scuffs better than mesh and wipes clean, which suits a shoe that will be dragged through every puddle it meets.
It released on June 11, 2024 at $80, a price that reflects the smaller build. The visible Air unit in the heel is still there, so the shoe looks like the adult version from the side even though the closure is entirely different. For parents, that combination is the appeal: a shoe a preschooler can manage alone, in a neutral palette that goes with whatever they insist on wearing, at a price that does not sting when it is outgrown in a season.
