Updated August 2026 — size chart re-checked against Nike's published footwear sizing, fit guidance re-verified, and live Nike stock, lowest listings and buyable sizes checked today.

The short answer: most Nike sneakers fit true to size, so your usual Nike size is the right starting point across Dunks, Air Max Plus TNs, Kobes and Jordans. The one exception Nike itself flags is the Air Force 1, which runs big — Nike's own guidance is to take half a size smaller for a secure fit, or stay true to size if your feet are wide.

PUSHAS, the global marketplace for authenticated hype sneakers, streetwear and collectibles, carries Nike across the full size run — so once this guide has settled your size, you can see exactly what is buyable in it further down the page.

Nike Size Chart

Find your foot length in centimetres in the right-hand column, read across to the US, EU or Youth equivalent, then apply the fit advice in the next section. Each half size is a 0.5 cm step up to US M14; above that the chart moves in whole sizes only. If a measurement falls between two rows, take the larger one.

For sizes outside this range, refer to the charts published on the Nike website.

Do Nike Sneakers Fit True To Size?

For most of the range, yes. Nike's footwear follows one published size chart, so if you are a US M10 in a Dunk you will almost always be a US M10 in an Air Max Plus TN, a Kobe or an Air Jordan.

The exception Nike publishes itself is the Air Force 1. Its toe box is unusually roomy and the stitched leather upper relaxes as it breaks in, so Nike's official Air Force 1 sizing guidance is to take half a size smaller than your usual Nike size if you want the secure, laced-up fit the shoe was designed for. Stay true to size if you have wide feet or want a deliberately relaxed fit. This is not a matter of taste at the margins — it is Nike's own published recommendation, and it is one of the most common sizing mistakes we see.

Two smaller variables worth accounting for on any Nike: thick socks effectively take up about half a size, and an aftermarket insole tightens the fit noticeably. If you are genuinely between sizes, the larger size plus a thicker sock is the more forgiving combination.

Do Nike Dunks Fit The Same As Air Force 1s Or Air Max Plus TNs?

Dunks, Air Max Plus TNs and Kobes all follow the chart above — take your usual Nike size. The Air Force 1 is the one that breaks the pattern, for the reason given above.

Cut matters more than model. Within a single silhouette, a High or a Mid sits tighter than the Low in the same size, because the collar and the extra panelling reduce volume around the ankle and instep. If half a size down feels too tight in a Mid or High, going true to size in those cuts is reasonable.

Upper material matters too. Patent and suede editions do not break in at the same rate as standard leather, so a snug pair in one material will not loosen on the same timetable in another.

For the models where the detail is worth having in full, we keep dedicated guides: the complete Air Force 1 size guide, the Air Max Plus TN size guide, the Nike Kobe size guide, the Nike Metcon size guide, and the Nike Mind 001 Slide size guide.

Nike Men's To Women's Size Conversion

Nike's men's and women's sizing runs 1.5 sizes apart, and it is printed on the box: a pair labelled US M7 is also a US W8.5. The rule works in both directions:

• Men's to women's — add 1.5. A US M8 is a US W9.5.
• Women's to men's — subtract 1.5. A US W7 is a US M5.5.

So if you normally buy women's sizing and you are looking at a pair listed in men's, subtract 1.5 from your women's size. If you normally buy men's and the pair you want is women's-sized — as many Dunk Low colourways are — add 1.5.

If you want a little more room than the straight conversion gives, round up rather than down: a US W7 converting to a US M5.5 can comfortably take a US M6. On PUSHAS you rarely need to do the arithmetic at all, because every sneaker listing shows both, in the form "US M 9 / W 10.5".

How Do I Convert To Youth / Grade School (GS) Sizes?

If you have smaller feet you may fit Youth or Grade School sizing, which is often the cheaper way into the same silhouette than the equivalent women's or men's pair.

The conversion is simple, and it is on the chart above: the Youth number matches the US men's number. A US M4.5 is a 4.5Y. Coming from women's sizing, subtract 1.5 — a US W6 is a 4.5Y, and a US W7.5 is a 6Y.

Youth sizing runs to 7Y, which is where it meets the bottom of the adult men's run.

Jordan Sizing vs Nike Sizing

Jordan and Nike sizing is the same. Both follow the same Nike size chart, so the size you wear in a Dunk is the size you wear in an Air Jordan, and the chart above covers both.

Individual Jordan models still have their own fit character — for the two most cross-shopped, see the Jordan 1 size guide and the Jordan 4 size guide. If you are weighing a Dunk against a Jordan 1 Low, our breakdown of how the two differ on foot covers the rest.

How To Measure Your Foot

If you are buying your first pair, or converting from another brand, measure rather than guess:

1. Measure late in the day. Feet swell over the course of a day; an afternoon measurement is the honest one.
2. Stand up. Measure standing, with weight on the foot, so it is at full spread.
3. Measure both feet. They are rarely identical. Use the larger.
4. Wear the socks you plan to wear. Thick socks change the answer by about half a size.

Take the longest distance from heel to longest toe in centimetres, find it in the chart above, then apply the model adjustment.

Expert Tips For Nike Sizing

• True to size is the default across the Nike range. Start there.
• Air Force 1s are the exception: half a size down, unless your feet are wide.
• Highs and Mids fit tighter than Lows in the same size.
• Between sizes? Take the larger size and add a thicker sock or an insole.
• Youth sizing carries the same number as US men's, and usually costs less.
• Check the listing title on PUSHAS — men's and women's equivalents are shown on every pair, so you never have to convert.

Nike Sizing: Frequently Asked Questions

Do Nike shoes run true to size?

Most do. Dunks, Air Max Plus TNs, Kobes and Air Jordans all follow Nike's standard chart, so your usual Nike size is correct. The Air Force 1 is the exception — it runs big, and Nike recommends half a size down.

What size Nike should I get if I wear a US 10?

A US M10 in almost everything Nike makes. In Air Force 1s, a US M9.5, following Nike's half-size-down guidance — unless your feet are wide, in which case stay at the 10.

What is a men's 8 in women's Nike sizing?

A US W9.5. Nike men's and women's sizing runs 1.5 sizes apart, and PUSHAS lists both on every sneaker listing.

What is a women's 7 in men's Nike sizing?

A US M5.5. Subtract 1.5 from your women's size to get the men's equivalent. If you want a little more room, a US M6 works.

Is Youth sizing the same as men's in Nike?

The number is the same: a US M4.5 is a 4.5Y. Youth sizing runs up to 7Y, where it meets the bottom of the adult men's run, and is often the cheaper way into the same silhouette.

Is Jordan sizing the same as Nike sizing?

Yes. Jordan follows the same Nike size chart, so the chart on this page covers both.

Do Nike Highs fit differently to Lows?

Yes. Highs and Mids sit tighter than the Low in the same size, because the collar and extra panelling reduce volume around the ankle and instep.

Where can I buy authentic Nike sneakers?

Nike is live at PUSHAS across the full size run, every pair authenticated by hand, with global shipping from Sydney and Los Angeles.

Conclusion

Nike sizing is more consistent than its catalogue makes it look. Take your usual Nike size across the range, drop half a size in Air Force 1s unless your feet are wide, expect Highs and Mids to sit tighter than Lows, and use the 1.5-size rule to move between men's and women's.

That consistency is deliberate, and it goes back a long way. When Nike designer Peter Moore drew the Dunk for the 1985–86 'Be True to Your School' college basketball campaign, he built it from parts of existing Nike models — the Air Jordan 1's outsole and the last from the Nike Legend, then regarded as the best-fitting basketball last Nike had. Forty-one years on, that shared-parts approach is why the size you wear in one Nike is usually the size you wear in the next.

Each foot is its own shape, so play it by ear at the margins: if your feet are wide and your current size already feels tight, take the half size up.
