We all know Nike – the titan of footwear, the powerhouse of style. But with greatness comes a labyrinth of Nike sizing complexities.
Nike boasts an ocean of sneakers, each with its own unique fit, and its own story to tell, but that means a vast number of molds and lasts.
Let’s face it – finding an article that delves into the fit of each Nike sneaker is as rare as scoring a limited edition release.
But fear not. I’m not going to talk about Nike sizing in general – oh no. I’m going to talk about how each individual shoe fits and guide you through the maze of true-to-size, size up, or size down dilemmas.
So, if you’ve ever wondered how that pair of Air Max’s hugs your feet or if those VaporMax’s run a tad snug, you’ve come to the right place. No more guesswork, no more uncertainty.
Wondering how the Air Huarache fits? Ctrl+F or Command-F your way there, and voilà – the answers await.
Let’s dive right into it…
Nike Sizing Guide
Nike Air Force 1
The Air Force 1s, in general, are a bit more wide-foot friendly and tend to fit a bit larger than usual. There’s about a finger’s width between the edge of the shoe and the top of your toe and the width of the shoe is perfect.
So, if you have a narrow, normal, or even a slightly wide foot, going a half size down should fit you perfectly, but if you have a really wide foot, then maybe it’s best to stick true to size to accommodate the width of your foot.
For me, I can go either a half size down (size 8.5) or true to size (size 9) depending on the Air Force 1 release.
For example, I’d probably go down a half size to 8.5 for a normal Air Force 1 white on white from Foot Locker, whereas I can stick true to size with a size 9 for something like the Stussy Air Force 1 or the Travis Scott Air Force 1s with the shroud on top of the tongue.
Again, for most Air Force 1s that aren’t unusually well padded, I’d recommend for most people to go a half size down unless you have really wide feet then you probably be better off sticking true to size.
If you haven’t already, make sure you check the Air Force 1 size chart for more accurate size conversions
Air Force 1 Low “Four Horsemen”
For this specific release, I got a size 8.5, which is what I usually wear for Air Force 1s. When I went a half size down in these, my toe was pretty much right at the edge of the shoe, which is kind of unusual for Air Force 1s.
I don’t know if my pair was defective from the factory or for some reason maybe Nike decided to make these Air Force 1s fit a lot more true to size than they normally do.
The Air Force 1s always fit a half-size down from my Jordan size, from all of my Air Max 1 sizes, and from my Yeezy sizes.
Air Force 1 Craft
Despite having a slightly more padded insole, I’d say that this Air Force 1 Craft felt fine going a half size down to 8.5. It gave me a very nice snug fit, but it wasn’t snug in a way that was uncomfortable.
If it was up to me, I’d recommend sticking with your normal Air Force 1 size, which probably is going to be a half size down.

Tiffany & Co. x Air Force 1 “1837”
I got these in 8.5 and overall, they fit me pretty well. Getting these in 8.5 (half size down), there was about a finger’s width between the top of the shoe and the top of my toe, which I thought was great and the width of the shoe gave me absolutely no problems.
If you have really wide feet or you just like more of a roomy fit, then you can probably go true to size as well.
But for everyone else, if you like more of that snug one-to-one fit and especially if you have more of a narrow foot, I’d recommend going down a half size or your normal Air Force 1 size.

Nocta x Air Force 1 Low SP
For this Nocta x Air Force 1 Low SP, I picked them up in 8.5, which is a half size down, and overall, they fit me really well. They give me a nice snug fit without being overly snug.
I’d recommend for most people to go a half size down unless you have really wide feet, then you probably want to just stick true to size.

Air Force 1 ’07 Premium
Most people go a half size down for their Air Force 1s, which is what I did for this AF1 ’07. For some reason, it really felt like my foot was pressing towards the front end of the shoe much more closely than it usually sits.
So, for those that managed to grab a pair of these, were you fine going half size down or did you find that they were a little bit more snug than your average AF1?
If I were to guess, I’d guess that it’s probably just my pair only, so I would still recommend going a half size down if you like that snug fit, but this is just my opinion based off of my specific pair.
Here’s DNA Show’s entire Nike Air Force 1 sneaker collection:
Nike Air Max 1
The Air Max 1s fit like any other recent Air Max 1 that’s not the Big Bubble version.
I got these in my true size 9 and they fit me really well. So, if you have a narrow, normal, or slightly wide foot, going true to size for the Air Max 1 should be okay, but whatever size you normally wear for recent Air Max 1s, just stick with that exact same size and you should be okay.
Air Max 1 86 Big Bubble
I’m happy to report that the Nike Air Max 1 86 Big Bubble fits pretty similar to all the other Nike Air Max 1s.
So, whatever size you normally wear for any normal Air Max 1, I’d recommend the same size for this pair.
In terms of fit of this specific release, it seems Nike actually widened the area at the base of the laces to more closely match the original, which does make the area around your forefoot on the shoe a little bit wider.
So, if your feet are slightly on the wider side, you might be happier with the sizing of this pair versus a standard pair of Nike Air Max 1s.
But if you have a really wide foot though, you’d probably be better off going up a half size, but everyone else, just go true to size.
Air Max 90
I stuck true to size with the Air Max 90 and they fit me great. Usually for Air Max 90, I wear anywhere between a 9 or 9.5, but I found that most of the Air Max 90s that have released since Nike has redone the shape, they fit me perfectly fine true to size.
Air Max 95 OG
I’d say that the Air Max 95 OGs do run a little bit on the snug side. I’m a true size 9 slightly on the wider side and I feel like going a half size up for me is the perfect fit.
If you have narrow or normal width feet, I feel like true to size might be okay for you, but if your feet are even slightly wider, I feel like going a half size up is definitely the way to go.
The Air Max 95 in general is a narrow shoe at the top, so if I were to stick true to size, I feel like my toes would be absolutely crushed, and by going up the half size, it gives my feet a little bit more wiggle room and it gives my toes a little bit more room to breathe.
If you have worn the Air Max 95s though, I’d say that these do fit pretty much like all the other Air Max 95s. With that said, stick with that same size that you’ve always been wearing.
Nike Air Max 97
I’m a true size 9 slightly on the wider side and usually for Air Max 97s, I go a half size up to a 9.5. I also got these in a 9.5 and they give me a good comfortable fit.
If you’re someone that likes a really snug fit or if you have narrow-width feet, then you can probably get away with sticking true to size.
Otherwise, if you want a little bit more wiggle room in your toes, then going a half size up should be the right bet.
Air Max BW OG
I got the Air Max BW OGs in my true size 9 and they fit me well in a nice snug way. I’m going to say if you have narrow, normal, or slightly wide feet, you can stick true to size with this shoe.
However, if your feet are much wider, then I feel like the toe box area might be a bit too snug for you, so I’d recommend going up a half size.
Air Max 270
If you have narrow or average feet, you can probably go a half-size down from your normal Air Max size.
To give you guys a point of reference, I wear a size 9.5 for shoes like the Air Max 95 and the Air Max 97.
In contrast, these fit me perfectly in a size 9 and I wear size 9 in other Nike sneakers like the Air Max 1 Pinnacle line.
Worst case scenario, if you guys are worried about the width of the shoe and you aren’t able to try these on in-store, then just stick with your normal Air Max size because, at the end of the day, it’s probably better if your shoe is slightly too long as opposed to being too snug width-wise.
Air Max 720
The Air Max 720s do run true to size.
When I tried these on for the first time, they were a little bit snug around the toe box. I felt that the toe box was a little bit shallow and it was crunching down on top of my toes, but after wearing them for about an hour or two, I didn’t really feel that discomfort anymore.
So long story short, I’d recommend sticking true to size for the Air Max 720 unless you have super fat feet, then you can definitely go up a half size to get more of a looser fit.
Air Max Scorpion
I will say that this shoe does seem to run a little bit narrow, which is maybe accentuated by this huge heel area, but if you have pretty narrow feet, it would feel pretty much true to size.
However, if you have wider feet, you might want to try maybe going up half a size, but because it’s a knit upper, you should be okay going true to size even if you have wider feet.
If you want to compare it to another shoe in your collection, the upper of this shoe does feel pretty similar to a pair of Nike Vapormax.
Air Max DN
Generally speaking, the Air Max DNs do run true to size. They are a little bit more on the snug side and they’re specifically a little bit narrow in the toe box.
For me, it wasn’t snug enough that I wanted to go up in size. If you have a narrow, normal, or slightly wide foot, just go true to size or your normal Nike size, but if you have a really wide foot, you’d be better off going up a half size and dealing with the extra length.
Nike Dunk Low
The Dunk Lows fit perfectly at true to size and pretty much like all my other Nike Dunks. So, for Nike sportswear Dunks, I recommend sticking true to size.
My feet are slightly on the wider side and I had zero issues fitting true to size with this model.
If you’re reading this article, you’ve probably tried on a pair of Dunks before, so go with your standard Dunk size and any pair of Nike Dunks that you grab.
Nike Women’s Dunk Low
This is technically a women’s release, but they were available in larger sizes. To get your men’s size equivalent, you would go up one and a half sizes. If, for example, you’re a men’s size 8.5, you’d be getting a women’s 10. If you’re normally a men’s size 9.5, then you’d be getting a women’s 11.
Surprisingly, the width of the shoe, even though it’s a women’s release, actually felt a little bit more wide-foot friendly than even some of the men’s Nike Dunks that are available for retail.
Maybe it’s because of the suede that has a very soft and broken-in feel. I feel like for most people, go true to size, but if you have a really wide foot, you still might want to consider going up a half size.
Dunk Low Premium
I go true to size in most Dunks. I picked Dunk Low Premiums up in my true size 9 and I have to say they actually run a little bit more on the short side.
Normally for Dunks, I don’t have an issue with the length of the shoe. For some reason for this pair, I felt like the width of the shoe is fine, but they ran a little bit short and I can feel my big toe hitting the top of the shoe in certain angles.
There’s just under a finger’s width space between the top of the shoe and the edge of my foot, which is fine if I lace up the shoe tightly, but if I leave the laces a little bit looser, which allows my foot to shift in and out, that’s really when I feel the discomfort of my toe banging against the edge of the shoe.
If you’re someone that’s in between sizes, I would definitely recommend going up to the bigger size for this Dunk Premium version.
However, if you’re someone that really likes that snug one-to-one fit, then you could go true to size. Just be warned that this shoe feels a little bit more on the shorter side.
Dunk Low Premium “Tweed / Corduroy”
These Dunk Lows Premium Tweed/Corduroy fit like most Nike Dunk Low’s, so I’d recommend sticking true to size.
If you have a narrow, normal, or slightly wide foot, true to size should be fine for you, but if you do have a wide foot, then I’d recommend going up a half size for this pair.
The length of the shoe was perfect, but, again, if you have a wider foot, you could have some issues around the lateral side of the toebox.
Nike Dunk Low Premium Co.JP
These fit like most of my other Nike sportswear Dunks, so I’d stick true to size.
I got these in a size 9 and they fit me perfectly in a nice snug way. So, whatever size you normally wear for the Nike sportswear Dunks, whether that’s half size down, true to size, or half size up, I would just stick with that normal size that you usually go with.
Dunk Low Retro SE
I feel like these Dunk Lows Retro SE fit me well in a snug one-to-one way. If you have a narrow or normal-width foot, going true to size should be perfectly fine for you, but if you have a wider foot, these might run a little bit snug but not snug enough that I personally would want to go up a half size.
If you have a really wide foot, you might want to consider going up a half size, but unless you really like that snug one-to-one exact fit, then just stick with your normal Dunk size.
Nike SB Dunk Low
Typically, with normal SB Dunks, I like to go a half size up because of the padded tongue as well as the more padded insole. I’ve always found that Nike SB Dunk Low’s fit a bit more snug than your standard Nike Dunk Lows.
So because of that, I like to go a half size up in the SB Dunks, but that’s just my personal preference. When I go true to size in SB Dunks, my toes absolutely get squeezed in, especially along the sides, so a half size up definitely is what I recommend.
Whatever size you normally wear for SB Dunk Lows, I’d stick with that same size for this pair whether that’s true to size if you like more of a snug one-to-one fit, a half size up for wide footers, or if you just like more room for your toes.
SB Dunk Low Pro
Just because of the fit of the shoe and the padded tongue and because my feet are a little bit wider, I prefer the added room going up half a size.
But I feel like for this specific SB Dunk Pro pair, maybe it’s because of the suede upper, but they run ever so slightly more roomy than a typical Nike SB Dunk Low.
I think knowing what I know, I still would prefer the half size up, but if you’re someone that likes more of a snug one-to-one fit and you don’t have a wide foot, you could go true to size and it should be perfectly fine.
SB Dunk Low Pro Premium
These fit like most other Nike SB Dunk Lows. Usually, for Nike SB Dunk Low’s, I prefer to go up a half size because there’s more padding around the shoe and because of that stuffed tongue.
My true size fits me, but it is more on the snug side and I would have preferred to go up that half size.
So, if you have a narrow or normal width foot and you like more of that snug one-to-one fit, you can definitely stick true to size and it should be okay, but if you like more of a roomy fit or if you have a wider foot, then I would recommend going up that half size.
Born X Raised x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro QS
For this version, I got these in a size 9.5 and even though I went up half a size from my true size 9, for some reason, they still fit me pretty snugly.
So, in my opinion, at a minimum, I’d recommend people go up half a size, but if you like more of a roomy spacious toe box, then you might want to even consider going up a full size from your actual foot size.
Maybe there’s just more padding on the collar area and there was about an index finger’s width space between the top of the shoe and the top of my toe so there wasn’t that much room for my toes to breathe, but in my case, it was doable.
Run The Jewels x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro
Normally for Nike SB Dunk Lows, I usually go up a half size up to 9.5, but for this specific pair, I don’t know what it was about the sneaker, but I felt like it wasn’t as snug as some of my other Nike SB Dunk Lows in the past.
So, getting these in a 9.5, there was about a thumb’s width between the top of the shoe and the top of my foot, which honestly felt fine, especially from a width perspective because sometimes, SB Dunks can fit a little bit narrow, but I felt like they ran a little bit longer than I was used to.
So, if you have a narrow, normal, or a slightly wide foot and you like more of that snug one-to-one fit, you can definitely go true to size with this shoe, but if you have a really wide foot, I’d still recommend going up that half size just to alleviate any potential pressure from a width perspective.
Fly Streetwear x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro
As usual with SB Dunks, I like to go up half a size than my true size and that is mainly because of the fat tongue.
I find going true to size to be a bit too uncomfortable, but it also depends on how you want to wear the shoes.
If you’re not planning on tying the laces and you’re just going to keep your laces loose, then I think you can definitely go true to size, but I do like to tie my laces so I’m going to end up getting these half a size up.
To give you a reference, that is a half size higher than I typically wear with Jordan 1s and pretty much all Jordan shoes and also a half size up than an Air Max 1 and of course any non-SB Dunk.
Overall, whatever size you normally wear, I’d stick with that exact same size for this one. If you’ve never worn an SB Dunk before, I’d say that if you have a narrow or normal-width foot, you can probably get away with sticking true to size, but if your feet are any wider than that, you probably want to go up that half size.
Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low OG QS Rammellzee
This version fits like most of my other Nike SB Dunk Lows. My foot is slightly on the wider side and that’s why I prefer to go up that half size to 9.5.
If you have more of a narrow or even a normal-width foot and you like more of a snug one-to-one fit, then true to size should be fine for you, but if you have more of a wider foot or you just like more of a roomy and spacious toe box, then you should probably go up that half size.
But whatever size you normally wear for Nike SB Dunk Lows, I’d stick with that exact same size for this release.
HUF x Nike SB Dunk Low OG QS
In my opinion, this version runs pretty narrow. Even though I went up a half size, I can still feel a bit of that pressure on the sides of my toes. I think if I had gone true to size, it would have been way too tight.
To add to the fact, because this is a Nike SB release, the tongues are actually connected to the base of the shoe using these elastic or bungee cords, which adds to the whole lockdown feel of this shoe, so that’s why I recommend going up a half size compared to your normal Nike sportswear Dunk.
Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro QS
These fit like most of my other Nike SB Dunks even though the tongue is a little bit thinner than normal.
I feel like if you have a narrow or normal-width foot, you can go true to size, but if you have a bit of a wider foot and you don’t like that pinching around the forefoot area, then I would recommend going up that half size.
And if you’re someone that really hates extra length in your shoe and you don’t mind really breaking in your shoes, then I guess you can go true to size and just wear the shoe and break it in, and eventually, the toe box area does soften up a bit.
Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low OG QS
These fit like most of my other Nike SB Dunk Lows, so I personally prefer to go a half size up.
Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG
To me, these fit like any other Air Jordan 1 High OG. For most people, I feel like going true to size should be perfectly fine.
My foot measures as a true size 9 slightly on the wider side. I usually wear a size 9 in most recent Air Jordan 1s, so that’s what I got for this pair and it fits me perfectly.
If you have a really wide foot, you might want to consider going up half a size. I feel like if you have narrow, normal, or slightly wide feet, true to size should be okay, but if you have really wide feet, you might want to consider going up a half size because the area where the laces start on the toe box sometimes can be a little bit snug for wide footers.
Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG
I got these in the size 9 which is what I normally wear for Air Jordan 1 Highs, but the Air Jordan 1 Low OG can fit a little bit bigger than an Air Jordan 1 High.
The collar of the shoe is very minimally padded, so trying these on in a size 9, there was about just over an index finger’s width space between the top of the shoe and the top of my toe.
If you’re someone that prefers more of a snug one-to-one fit, I would recommend going a half size down, but if you don’t mind just that extra room lengthwise or if you have a really wide foot, stick true to size and you should be okay.
Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG SP
Keep in mind this is a women’s release. The cut of the shoe is going to be the same, but the actual sizing method is going to be different.
To get your men’s equivalent, just go up one and a half sizes. For example, a 10.5 in these is a size 9 in men.
Trying these on in my true size, they fit me very well. I know some people feel the Jordan one Low is a bit roomy, but for me, I’m always comfortable sticking true to size.
So, whatever size you normally wear for the Jordan 1 Low OG, I’d stick with that same size for this pair as well.
Air Jordan 1 Lost and Found
In my opinion, the shape of this silhouette is kind of a mix between the recent Air Jordan 1 releases and the recent Air Jordan 1 1985’s.
The good news is this version does seem to fit true to size just like every other pair of Air Jordan 1s.
If you have really wide feet though, you might want to consider going up a half size because the toebox area can be a little bit snug for really wide footers.
However, for the majority of people out there, stick with your normal Air Jordan 1 size and I think they’ll fit you perfectly fine.
Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG
For typical Air Jordan 1 Low OG silhouettes, I personally go true to size, but I can see why a lot of people prefer to go a half size down.
I guess because my feet are a little bit more on the wider side, going true to size in typical Air Jordan 1 Lows is fine.
I got these in a size 9, which is my true to size, but I actually found them to be a little bit more snug than a typical Air Jordan 1 Low OG possibly because of the materials that they use on this shoe. Maybe that’s what caused the shoe to feel a little bit more snug and when I say snug, it felt a little restricting around the toe box area, especially around the lateral side where the pinky toe is.
So, I guess if you have a narrow or normal-width foot and you normally go a half size down for your Air Jordan 1 Low OGs, then it’s probably fine if you go with that exact same size for this pair, but if your feet are a little bit more on the wider side and you don’t prefer a snug one-to-one fit, then I would not go a half size down; just stick true to size and you should be fine.
Air Jordan 1 Low 85
These 85 Low definitely run more snug compared to your typical Air Jordan 1 Retro OG silhouettes.
For those versions of the Air Jordan 1 Low’s, people either go true to size or a half size down, but for this 85 cut, people can go true to size or half size up.
There’s just over an index finger’s width space between the top of the shoe and the top of my toe, so the length of the shoe can be a little bit long going up half a size, but the width of the shoe was perfectly fine.
So, I feel like if you have a narrow or normal-width foot, you could go true to size and it should be okay, but for those who have a wider foot, you might be better off going up a half size and dealing with the extra length to accommodate the width of your feet.
Air Jordan 1 High Element (Gore-Tex)
I feel like this one is a little bit more snug from a width perspective than your normal Air Jordan 1.
For me, sticking true to size, I felt a little bit snug, so I feel like if you have narrow or normal width feet, you can definitely stick with your normal Air Jordan 1 size, but if you have wider feet, these do crunch your feet a little bit from a width perspective, so you might want to consider going up a half size.
Everything else though specifically the length and the back portion all fits like your normal Air Jordan 1.
Air Jordan 1 High Stealth
Jordans keep their sizing consistent and this one is no different, and because the leather is nice and soft too, they kind of feel already worn in when you wear them.
So, go with the same size you wear in most other Jordans.
Nike Jordan Air Ship PE SP
I got these in a size 9, which is true to size, and I feel like they run a little bit more snug width-wise than the Air Jordan 1.
So, if you have a really wide foot, you might want to consider going up a half size and dealing with that extra length, but for a narrow, normal, or slightly wide footer, I’d stick true to size for this specific model.
Air Jordan 2 Retro
These fit like most my other Air Jordan 2s, so whatever size you normally wear for Jordan 2s, I’d probably stick with that exact same size for this release.
For those who haven’t worn a Jordan 2 before, I’d say it fits a little bit more snug than a Jordan 1 but not snug enough that you’d want to go up a half size. But again, it comes down to personal preference on how you like your shoes to fit.
Air Jordan 2 Retro Low
I picked these up in a size 9, which is true to size, and it fits me really nicely in a slightly snug way.
If you compare this to the fit of a Jordan 1 Low for example, I feel the Jordan 2 Low is a bit more snug.
So, if you have a narrow, normal, or slightly wide foot, true to size should fit you really well, but if you have a really wide foot, you might want to consider going up a half size.
Air Jordan 3 Retro
Because this is a women’s release, to get your women’s equivalent, you need to go up one and a half sizes. If, for example, you’re a size 8 men’s, you would get a women’s 9.5 and if you’re a men’s 9.5, you get a women’s 11.
I got these in the equivalent of a men’s size 9, which is a women’s 10.5 and I feel like they definitely run more snug than the Reimagined Air Jordan 3s.
So, true to size for me was absolutely perfect. It gave me a nice snug one-to-one fit. If you have a really wide foot, you might want to consider going up a half size just because of the width of this shoe, but I feel like for the majority of people out there, sticking true to size should be perfectly fine.
Air Jordan 4 Retro
In the past, Air Jordan 4s sometimes can fit a little bit snug, but I felt like this pair didn’t have that problem and I was able to wear these true to size comfortably.
I’m a true size 9 slightly on the wider side and I got these in a size 9 and I couldn’t really feel any discomfort on the pinky toe area at all.
So, unless you have really wide feet, true to size should be okay.
Air Jordan 4 Retro (Reimagined)
Because they retweaked the shape of these Air Jordan 4s just like the Nike SB releases, these fit a lot better.
I know a common complaint that the Air Jordan 4s are not the best shoe to wear for wide-footers.
Oftentimes, people complain about the pain and chafing around the pinky toe area, but the good thing about these retooled and reshaped Air Jordan 4s is that they fit a lot more spacious around the pinky toe area of the shoe.
With that said, I feel like most people are fine going true to size for the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Reimagined’.
I usually wear either a 9 or 9.5 in Air Jordan 4s depending on the specific release and how narrow the toe box is, but for this pair, a true size 9 is perfectly fine.
So, go with your normal Nike size and you should be okay unless you have a super wide foot, then in that case, I’d still go up half a size, but I’d say for that the majority of people out there, just go true to size and it should fit you fine.
Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Craft
The Jordan 4 is a bit of a tricky shoe when it comes to sizing. If your feet are a little bit more on the wider side, the Jordan 4s sometimes can fit a little bit snug width-wise.
Because of the narrowness of a Jordan 4, sometimes I wear between a 9 or a 9.5, which is a half size up.
Getting these in a size 9, I have to say they actually fit me pretty comfortably, so I feel like if you have a narrow, normal, or even a slightly wide foot, you could go true to size, but if you do have wide feet, you’d probably be better off going up a half size.
When I put some Jordan 4s on straight out of the box, I can feel that pinky toe being crushed, but for these, I didn’t really feel that too much.
But whatever size you normally wear for the Air Jordan 4 whether that’s true to size or half size up, I’d probably recommend just sticking with that same size and you should be okay.
Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro SP
The Jordan 4 generally is a bit more of a narrow-fitting shoe and it can be a torture for pinky toes for certain releases.
But for this specific pair, I’d recommend sticking true to size unless you have really wide feet. So, for narrow, normal, or slightly wide feet, go true to size and you should be fine.
For some reason, I felt like this pair fits a bit more roomy and generous in the toe box. I didn’t feel any discomfort around that pinky toe area and the length of the shoe was great as well. There’s about a finger’s width between the top of the shoe and the top of my toe, which I thought was perfect.
Air Jordan 4 Military
Sizing-wise, I would go with whatever size you usually go with in Air Jordan 4s. For me, that’s true to size, but for you, it might be something different, but if you go with your standard size, you should be good to go.
Air Jordan 5 Retro High
I’d say that these Jordan 5 Retros either fit true to size or a half size big. So, if you don’t mind a little bit of extra room in your shoe or if you have wider feet, you can definitely stick true to size, but if you have narrow feet or you like a really snug one-to-one fit, then you can probably go down a half size.
There was just a bit less than a thumb’s width between the edge of the shoe and the top of my toe, so going a half size smaller might have solved that issue, but it’s not that big of a deal and I don’t mind the extra room.
A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 5 Retro SP
When I entered this raffle, I had no idea how these would fit. I assumed because of the thinner collar and the tongue that they might run a little bit bigger than normal so I got these in a half size down, which is a size 8.5.
For recent Jordan 5s, I’ve been able to go down a half size to a 8.5 because Jordan 5s in general are pretty wide-foot friendly normally.
So, getting these in 8.5, I actually felt like they ran pretty snug, so I’d recommend most people to just stick true to size for this pair.
Again, most people can go true to size for this pair and even if you have a narrow foot, you should be fine.
Air Jordan 6 Retro
Like most of my other Air Jordan 6’s, I personally prefer to go a half size down. I got these in 8.5 and they fit me really nicely.
If you have really wide feet or you like more of a roomy fit, you could go true to size, but personally, I think that going the half size down fits much better and I still have about a finger’s width between the edge of the shoe and the top of my toe, which I think is adequate.
But long story short, whatever size you normally wear for the Air Jordan 6, I think it’s safe to say you can stick with that same size for this one as well.
Air Jordan 7 Retro
If you have a narrow, normal, or even a slightly wide foot and you like more that snug one-to-one fit, you could go a half size down in these.
I got these in a size 8.5. Because of the way the shoe is crafted, it’s going to give your foot that really snug one-to-one fit, but it’s not going to be snug in the way that it’s going to make your foot feel uncomfortable.
It just feels very locked-in and secure, but if you do have a wider foot, you’re probably better off with sticking true to size.
Or, if you’re just someone that really doesn’t like that snug one-to-one fit, then go true to size in this pair as well.
Air Jordan 8 Retro
I got these Jordan 8s in my true size 9 and they fit me perfectly. I feel like if you have a really narrow foot and you like more of a true snug one-to-one fit, you might be able to get away with going half size down, but I feel like for the majority of people out there, sticking true to size in the Jordan 8s is probably the best bet in general.
This is a very snug very secure and very bulky feeling sneaker. I didn’t really feel that they ran really long and that neoprene inner booty really gave my foot more of that snug one-to-one feel. So, to me, going true the size fit me perfectly fine.
Air Jordan 11 Retro
These fit me true to size. So whatever your actual measured foot size is, I’d go with that same size for this pair unless you have a really wide foot, then you probably be better off going up a half size.
Again, whatever size you normally wear for Jordan 11s, go with that exact same size.
Air Jordan 12 Retro
I’ve always found that the Air Jordan 12 fits a little bit more on the bigger side. So, if you like more of a snug one-to-one fit and you don’t have a really wide foot, then I feel like you could go down a half size.
I got these in a size 8.5 and they fit me in a nice snug way. Again, if you have more of a wide foot or if you just like more of a spacious toe box, then true to size should be perfectly fine for you, but if you’re someone that’s kind of in between sizes, then I’d probably recommend going down to the smaller size.
Air Jordan 13 Retro
To me, these Jordan 13s fit like most of the other Air Jordan 13s they have released in the past few years. I find that they run a little bit roomy.
Because I like more of that snug one-to-one fit, I opted to get these in a size 8.5, which is a half size down, and trying them on, they fit me very nicely.
There’s about a finger’s width between the edge of the shoe and the top of my toe, and while the width of the shoe was a little bit snug, I feel like they break in very nicely.
However, if you have a really wide foot or you just like more of a roomy fit, I feel like you can go true to size for this model as well.
Air Jordan 14 Retro SE
Generally, I feel like the Jordan 14 fits pretty true to size so that’s what I’d recommend for most people.
They fit me perfectly in a slightly snug way so I feel like if you have a wide foot, you might be better off going up a half size, but for narrow, normal, or slightly wide footers, true to size should fit you okay.
Nike Ja 1 “Day One”
Generally speaking, the Ja 1 is a bit more of a narrow-fitting shoe. Because my feet are a little bit wider, I often go up half a size to a size 9.5 and I’d say that that was the right decision for me.
If you have a narrow or normal-width foot, I feel like you could go true to size to give you that nice snug one-to-one fit, but if your feet are more on the wide side, I would probably recommend going up that half size, especially if you’re going to be playing ball in these and wearing thick Nike Elite socks.
The issue with this shoe, at least for me, was the snugness of the area right above the laces.
Even when I loosened up the laces all the way, I could feel the sides of the shoe really crunching in and putting pressure on top of my foot, so I could only imagine how snug it would have felt if I’d stuck true to size instead.
Nike Air Vapormax
I’d say that these run pretty much true to size. In fact, it’s slightly wider from what I can tell than previous Vapormax versions.
It does seem like they’ve widened it a little bit in the forefoot, so people with slightly wide feet have a bit better of a time with the sneaker.
However, I still wouldn’t call this a wide-foot-friendly shoe.
If you have normal to narrow feet, it should be just fine rocking this shoe true to size, but if you do have a wider feet, I would recommend going up a half size as these are somewhat narrow, especially in the midfoot area.
This is not a shoe that you want to buy a half size too big for as this is supposed to fit really sock-like, and if you do buy a half size too big, they will feel really awkward and really sloppy on feet.
So, if you can, try them on in-store, otherwise, I’d go with my best bet which would be true to size except if you do have wide feet, then once again, half size up.
Nike LeBron 20
I got these in a 9.5, which is a half size up. I feel like if you have a wider foot and especially if you’re going to be wearing these casually, then I would probably recommend going up a half size.
Getting these a half size up gave me about a finger’s width between the edge of the shoe and the top of my toe and it fit me very comfortably all in all, but maybe if you have more narrow feet and you like more of a snug one-to-one fit, especially if you’re going to be playing ball on them, I can definitely see why you can stick true to size with these as well.
I also go a half size up in the Kobe 5 and Kobe 6 Pro as well, so whatever size you’d wear for those models, I’d stick with the same size for this silhouette, too.
Nike LeBron 20 All Star
In general, the LeBron 20 is a bit more of a snug-fitting shoe, and because I’m wearing these casually, I prefer to go up a half size just to give my toes a little bit more breathing room.
But for this specific release, for some reason, this knitted upper didn’t really feel as tight, so I’m kind of curious to see how going true to size would have fit for this pair instead.
But don’t get me wrong, going up a half size was totally fine. It wasn’t like my heels were slipping or anything like that. There was just a little bit more room around this toe box area, especially from a length perspective.
So, if you have a narrow or normal-width foot, you can probably go true to size with this shoe, but if you have more of a wider foot, I’d still probably recommend going up a half size unless you really like a snug one-to-one fit.
Otherwise, I think going up a half size will be better for your feet from a width perspective around the toe box area.
UNKNWN x Nike LeBron 20
I got these in the normal size I usually get my LeBron 20s in, which is a half size up from my true size and they fit me really well.
I know some people like to go true to size in the LeBron 20, so by all means, if that’s what you normally wear, I’d stick with that same size for this pair as well. But for me, I find the LeBron 20 fits snug out of the box and I don’t know how quickly I’ll get enough wears in them to really break them in.
Because of that and because of the width of my foot, I opted to go up half a size so that the width of the shoe fits me great and there is a little bit of extra length in the shoe.
But if you’re someone that has more of a narrow foot or a normal-width foot and you like more of that snug one-to-one fit, then I think you can go true to size in this shoe and it should be okay.
Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Reverse Grinch”
Wearing these casually, they fit like any other Kobe 6, so I personally prefer to go up half a size.
If you’re playing ball in these for example, maybe you’d want more of a snug one-to-one fit.
Wearing these shoes casually, they’re definitely way too snug going true to size with zero wiggle room for your toes.
You can really feel the pressure of the upper of the shoe really clamping down on top of your toes, so because of that, going up that half size would fit you much better.
Again, if you’re wearing these casually, I would recommend going up a half size. I think your feet won’t regret it.
Nike Air Foamposite 1
I did get this in my true size. The whole concept of the shoe is that it is supposed to mold perfectly to your feet. Initially, it might feel a bit snug, but based on what I’ve heard from a lot of other reviews, they do just give you a perfect fit over time, so I would say going with a true size is the right option.
What I noticed right out of the box is that there was a bit of heel slippage for me, but then I did lace up the shoe all the way to the top lace loop and that pretty much fixed the problem completely.
I wasn’t getting any more heel slippage at all and I have to say I love the way this shoe fits and feels on feet.
A lot of it has to do with the laces going all the way up to the toe box so you get that nice lockdown feeling in the toe area.
Nike V2K Run
This is considered a woman’s shoe. Normally, women’s shoes for Nike are a bit narrower than men’s sneakers.
I did end up getting this in my true men’s size. For me, they fit slightly more snug than the Vomero 5, so I would say for men trying to cop this sneaker, go up half a size than your Vomero size or your true Nike size, but I think for the woman reading this, you should be fine going with your true Nike size.
Pretty much the same size you would wear in a Nike Dunk or an Air Max 1, go with the same size in the V2K, and for the men reading this, I would suggest going up a half size than your true Nike size.
Nike Cortez
I would definitely not go a half-size down because these are a pretty narrow shoe, and if you do have wider feet, then you probably want to consider going up a half size.
As for the Nike Sacai Zoom Cortez 4.0, the shoe has just the right amount of room in the toe box area and I also feel like it’s pretty wide-foot friendly that even wide-footers can go true to size.
Nike Nocta x Glide
I will admit sizing on this is pretty strange. I actually got these in a half size down for my true size.
From a width perspective, they feel fine. However, I’ll say there’s definitely quite a bit of heel slippage that I’m experiencing with this shoe, but I’m afraid that if I go down a full size, then it just would be way too tight for me on the midfoot area and around the toes. So a half size down does seem to be the best size.
Even if you have wide feet, you’re better off going down half a size. Like I said, the heel slippage problem is going to be quite noticeable if you go true to size.
Nike Blazer Mid ’77
These fit like pretty much all my other Nike Blazers. For most people, I’d recommend sticking true to size unless you have wide feet, then you might want to consider going up a half size.
They fit me pretty well from a length perspective, but they’re a little bit snug from a width perspective.
I think that they’ll definitely break in over time and for me if I were to go up a half size, there’d be way too much space and it would probably feel too sloppy for me on feet.
Nike Air Huarache
The Huaraches are definitely on the snug side, so I’d recommend at least going a half size up.
If your feet are slightly on the wider side, the Huaraches are going to give you a very nice one-to-one sock-like fit.
So, if you’re someone that likes a bit more of a roomy fit and you like your feet to have a bit more flexibility and room to breathe, then you might even want to consider going a full size up, but for the majority of people, I’d say that half size up is perfectly fine.
The neoprene is very sock-like and it’ll form to the width of your foot, but because of how the shoe sits, the strap really pushes your foot forward, so by even going up the half size, your toes are pretty much close to the edge of the shoe already.
So, if you don’t want your feet to be swimming around and you like that one-to-one contained fit, going half-size up works perfectly.
Stussy x Nike Air Huarache LE
For those who have never worn an Air Huarache before, this shoe does fit snug. Because of the way the shoe is designed, the external heel counter really pushes your foot forward, so I definitely recommend going at least half a size up.
If you have slightly wider feet and you go true to size, they will fit you almost like a glove. There’s under a finger’s width space between the top of the shoe and the edge of my foot and that’s already going up a half size.
So, if you’re someone that likes a ton of room for your shoes, you might even want to consider going a full size up. Otherwise, if you like that one-to-one sock-like fit, then a half size up should do the trick.
Nike React Element 87
I got these in a size 9, which is what I normally get in this model. Some people say they go down a half size, but I personally find that this shoe runs a little bit more on the narrow and long side.
So, if you do have really skinny feet, then maybe you can go a half size down, or for regular or wide footers, I definitely recommend sticking true to size.
For me, there’s a little bit of extra space around the toebox, but the width of the shoe fits me perfectly, so I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Nike Cosmic Unity
I feel like these do run true to size in a snug way. I love the fit. It gives my foot a really one-to-one snug fit, but I could see why some people may want to go up a half size.
For casual wear, they felt perfectly fine sticking true to size. If you’re the type that doesn’t really like that snug one-to-one fit or if you just have really wide feet, then I’d probably recommend going up a half size. Otherwise, true to size is perfectly fine.
Nike Air More Uptempo
Generally, these fit true to size, but they are a little bit on the bigger end. So, if you are in between sizes, I’d probably go down to the smaller size, but for me, they fit me decently, but I feel like I probably could get away with half size down if I wanted to.
Still, sticking true to size was perfectly fine, but if you’re the type that really likes a locked-down fit, then you’d probably want to go half size down.
Nike Mac Attack QS SP
I got these in my true size not knowing how these would fit and I feel like they run true to size lengthwise, but they are a little bit more on the narrow side.
I feel like the footbed of this shoe runs a little bit more narrow than I would have liked, so I could almost feel the balls of my foot basically spilling outside of the shoe and to me, at least the shoe would have been much better if the footbed was wide and even a few millimeters.
So, if you have a narrow or normal width foot, I feel like true to size should be okay for you, but if your feet are more on the wider side, you might want to consider going up a half size.
Nike Air Monarch IV
As you can probably tell, this is a very bulky shoe, so as a result, I was able to go half a size down.
If you do have wider feet, these Monarchs will definitely accommodate that.
Nike Air Zoom Generation
Overall, these fit me pretty nicely. I feel like true to size is perfectly fine. There was just over an index finger’s width between the top of the shoe and the top of my toe and while the width of the shoe was a little bit snug, after I loosened up the laces, they honestly weren’t that bad at all.
So, if you have a narrow, normal, or slightly wide foot, true to size should be perfectly fine, but if you have a really wide foot, you might want to consider going up a half size.
Nike Air Trainer 1
They fit well in a nice snug way. The Air Trainer 1 can fit a little bit snug for really wide footers, especially around the area where the laces start, but even people with slightly wide feet could only tighten this up about halfway.
So, if you have narrow, normal, or slightly wide feet, then true to size should be okay, but if you have really wide feet, you might want to consider going up that half size.
Nike P-6000
I got this in my true Nike size and for me, they fit absolutely perfectly. Even from a width perspective, they fit perfect. I think even if you have wide feet, you can go true to size in these.
Some people do find the Zoom Vomeros to be rather narrow, but you won’t feel that way in this sneaker because the midfoot area is very comfortable, so go with your true Nike size.
Nike Vaporfly 3
The Vaporfly does fit pretty much true to size. I will say that the shoe is definitely designed for more narrow-footed people, but it does feel a little snug around the forefoot.
For wide footers, maybe go up half a size or just don’t grab this shoe, but I would definitely say that if you’re a narrow footer, go true to size and if you’re a wide footer, maybe try the shoe on first before you buy it to make sure that you’re grabbing the right size for you.
Nike Pegasus
The Pegasus does seem to fit true to size, which makes sense because Pegasus sneakers usually fit true to size.
Nike Zoom Vomero 5
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 does seem to fit true to size like most other Nike sneakers, but of course, if you have a chance to try the shoe on first before you buy it, I definitely recommend doing that to make sure that you’re not dropping $160 on a pair of shoes that doesn’t fit, which is the worst. You could probably return them, but still, it’s a hassle.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Oatmeal is a women’s release, so to get your Nike men’s equivalent, I had to go up one and a half sizes to find my size 9. For example, if you’re a men’s size 8.5, you should be aiming for a women’s size 10, and conversely, if you’re a men’s 9, you’ll be getting a women’s 10.5.
It fits me perfectly. It’s not snug and it’s not loose; it’s somewhere right in the middle. It really locks in and hugs the midfoot area of your foot, but the toe box of the shoe is a little bit more on the wider side, so it gives your toes some room to breathe.
Nike Invincible
Like most other Nike sneakers, the Invincible 3 does fit pretty much true to size and has a standard width.
CPFM Nike Air Flea 2
If you’re grabbing these CPFM Nike Air Flea 2s, I’d say go true to size. It seems like that is exactly what they fit like, but I thought they were going to fit like three sizes too big, but it doesn’t fit like that at all.
I would say if you have wider feet, maybe go up half a size because they do feel a tad narrow in the middle, but that’s it, otherwise, they’re surprisingly true to size.
