The Complete Jordan 1 Size Guide
Updated 8 September 2026 — size chart re-keyed to Nike's published footwear sizing, the centimetre column corrected, the size run extended to the full US M3.5–M18 range we carry, and the size calculator rebuilt as a straight chart lookup.
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.

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:
- Measure Late Day: Feet naturally swell throughout the day, so measure in the afternoon
- Standing Position: Measure while standing to account for foot spread under weight
- Both Feet: Measure both feet and use the larger measurement
- 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 centimetre column of the chart above.
