Whether you’ve got kids or not, there’s no denying that something within you always wants to buy a tiny version of an adult shoe. For the lucky few, this isn’t just an odd fascination with mini versions of things — some people can actually fit into kids’ sizes and, in doing so, save a considerable amount of money. Whatever your reason for clicking this article, welcome.

New Balance is dominating the world of sneakers right now. Its core silhouettes top lists for both general releases and collaborations, garnering attention from all sides of the sneaker spectrum. It turns out that the brand has been putting in work for the kids, too. So much so that there’s a tiny version of almost all of our favorite New Balance silhouettes.

Below, we’ve put together a list of New Balance kicks that allow you and your little one to ride the same wave. From the 550 through to collaborations with Joe Freshgoods, New Balance Kids shoes are on a different level from most other brands. Keep scrolling for the proof.

The New Balance 327 has had a pretty eventful couple of years. After successful collaborations with Casablanca, the lightweight silhouette cracked the mainline market too. It's since become one of New Balance's flagship designs, and that extends to the New Balance kids selection, too.

The New Balance 550 is the golden child of the brand's offering right now. This Triple White colorway works perfectly with the understated, vintage silhouette. Basically the ideal everyday shoe, it's a safe bet for you, your kiddo, or your small-foot friend.

It's pretty rare to find collaborations in kids' sizes but the New Balance kids selection is like no other. Double up on your purchase of the 574 made in partnership with Joe Freshgoods. It's likely to be your kid's first exclusive pair.

Matching your kicks is not only a nice touch visually, but can actually present some good bonding opportunities. Kitting your kid out in a pair of Fresh Foam X 880v12 is the starting point for training them up to be your pacemaker when you're training for that half marathon next year.
