Nike Force 1 Crib Bootie Shoes

Let's get this out of the way: your newborn doesn't need shoes. Babies don't walk and pediatricians will tell you barefoot is best for foot development. But these tiny Nike Air Force 1s exist and they're adorable and you're going to buy them for photos and that's fine. We did. Zero regrets. They're surprisingly well-made for something that's essentially a fashion accessory for a 3-month-old. The soft sole is flexible, not rigid, so they won't interfere with foot development during the brief moments they're actually on your baby's feet. The elastic ankle makes them easier to put on than you'd expect, though they'll still get kicked off regularly because babies hate shoes. The quality is legit Nike, not some cheap knockoff feel. They come in a cute little box that makes them an amazing baby shower gift, especially for sneakerhead parents. Are they practical? No. Will they make your Instagram pop? Absolutely. Sometimes that's enough.
