Nike's junior tops cover everything active kids and teens need from the shoulders up. T-shirts for summer runs, long sleeves for cooler days, and jackets when the weather demands an extra layer. The collection is designed to move with you, wick moisture away, and keep kids comfortable while active.
The range includes girls, boys, and unisex models in a wide size selection. You'll find sports bras for girls ready for more structured sports, as well as t-shirts and jackets in designs appealing to both genders, suitable for school and sports on the same day.

DRI-FIT AND BREATHABILITY – STAY DRY DURING ACTIVITY
Nike's Dri-FIT technology is the backbone of many junior tops' features. It draws moisture away from the skin to the fabric's surface, where it evaporates faster. This keeps kids drier and more comfortable, even when activity levels are high and sweat starts to appear.
Breathable materials and strategically placed ventilation zones ensure additional airflow. This is especially important for kids who rarely slow down and are typically active from start to finish on the track, in the gym, or during school sports.
FROM BASELAYER TO OUTER LAYER – LAYERING FOR ACTIVE KIDS
A functional clothing system for kids doesn't have to be complicated. Nike's junior tops make it easy to assemble a layered outfit suitable for the season and activity. See matching

A snug baselayer in Dri-FIT retains warmth and wicks moisture close to the body. On top, kids can wear a t-shirt or long-sleeve, and if needed, add a light jacket or anorak for wind and light rain protection. Nike's training jackets for juniors are lightweight and packable, making it easy to carry an extra layer in the bag for weather changes.
For girls who have started running or engaging in sports more regularly, Nike offers junior sports bras with light support and a soft finish against the skin. They pair well with a light t-shirt, providing extra comfort and security during movement.

FAQ – NIKE JUNIOR TOPS
What is the difference between a Dri-FIT t-shirt and a cotton t-shirt for sports?
A Dri-FIT t-shirt is made from synthetic material that actively wicks moisture away from the skin and dries faster. A cotton t-shirt absorbs sweat and can quickly feel heavy and clammy during intense activity. For sports and running, Dri-FIT is recommended.
When is a long-sleeve top relevant for the child?
Long-sleeve tops are ideal in spring and fall, or when activities occur early in the morning or evening. They can also serve as a baselayer under a jacket in cooler temperatures.
Does Nike offer sports bras for girls in the junior range?
Yes. Nike has sports bras for girls in junior, typically from 8-10 years and up, depending on the model. They are made with light support and soft materials, providing comfort during sports and running without being too tight.
Can Nike's junior tops be used for more than sports?
Yes. Many models are designed to work for both training and everyday use. T-shirts and jackets from the junior range are popular for school and leisure because they are lightweight, breathable, and wash well.
How do I wash Nike's junior tops correctly?
Wash at 30-40 degrees, avoid fabric softener, and do not tumble dry. Fabric softener can degrade the Dri-FIT technology's ability to wick moisture. Turn clothes inside out before washing to protect prints and seams.
