The Complete Jordan 1 Size Guide

Updated September 2026 — the centimetre column re-derived from Nike's published foot-length figures, the UK column corrected against Nike's chart, the calculator regenerated from the corrected table, and the UK offset note under the chart and the listing-conversion claim both corrected.

The Air Jordan 1, the sneaker that started it all in 1985, represents the most iconic silhouette in sneaker history. Getting the right size is crucial for both comfort and style.

The short answer: Jordan 1s fit true to size. Jordan sizing is Nike sizing, so your usual Nike size is the one to buy — in the Low, the Mid and the High alike.

Jordan 1 Size Chart

The steps between half sizes are not even: they run roughly 0.4 to 0.5 cm up to US M14, and above that the chart moves in whole sizes only. If your measurement falls between two rows, take the larger one.

Nike also prints a CM/JP number on the box label, and it is not the same as foot length — size from the Foot Length (cm) column above, and see the complete Nike size guide for both columns side by side.

How Do Jordan 1s Fit?

Air Jordan 1s fit true to size for most people. Unlike some other Jordan models, the AJ1 is designed to provide a classic, reliable fit when you select your regular Nike or Jordan size. The leather upper will also stretch and conform to your foot shape over time.

The shoe features a classic high-top construction with a structured leather upper and comfortable Air cushioning, creating that iconic Jordan 1 fit that has remained consistent since 1985.

Cut changes volume rather than length. The High and Mid have more collar and more panelling around the ankle and instep, so they feel more contained on foot than a Low in the same size — but the number you buy does not change.

Key Features Affecting Jordan 1 Fit

• Premium Leather Upper: The leather construction will stretch and mould to your foot shape with wear
• High-Top Design: The classic high-top collar provides ankle support while maintaining flexibility
• Nike Air Cushioning: The original Air sole unit provides consistent comfort without affecting sizing
• Classic Toe Box: Features a roomier toe area compared to modern basketball shoes

How to Measure Your Foot

For the most accurate size selection:

1. Measure Late Day: Feet naturally swell throughout the day, so measure in the afternoon
2. Standing Position: Measure while standing to account for foot spread under weight
3. Both Feet: Measure both feet and use the larger measurement
4. Include Socks: Measure while wearing the socks you plan to use with your Jordan 1s

Take the longest distance from heel to longest toe in centimetres, then find it in the Foot Length (cm) column of the chart above.

Expert Tips for Jordan 1 Sizing

• Jordan 1s break in nicely — the leather will stretch and conform to your foot
• The toe box provides generous room for natural toe spread
• High-top design allows for adjustable ankle support through lacing
• If you have particularly wide feet, you might want to go up half a size
• Consider the sock thickness you will typically wear — thicker socks take up about half a size
• Check the listing title on PUSHAS — men's and women's equivalents are shown together wherever the brand publishes both, so you rarely have to convert

Jordan 1 Sizing: Frequently Asked Questions

Do Jordan 1s fit true to size?

Yes. Jordan sizing is Nike sizing, so your usual Nike size is the one to buy — in the Low, the Mid and the High alike.

Do Jordan 1 Highs fit differently to Lows?

Cut changes volume rather than length. The High and Mid have more collar and more panelling around the ankle and instep, so they feel more contained on foot than a Low in the same size, but the number you buy does not change.

Should I size up in Jordan 1s if I have wide feet?

If your feet are particularly wide you might want to go up half a size. The leather upper also stretches and moulds to your foot shape with wear.

What is a men's 9 in women's Jordan 1 sizing?

A US W10.5. US men's to women's is a straight 1.5-size step, and PUSHAS shows men's and women's equivalents together wherever the brand publishes both, so you rarely have to convert.

Which centimetre figure should I size from?

Nike prints a CM/JP number on the box label, and it is not the same as foot length. Measure your foot and size from the Foot Length (cm) column in the chart above.
