Jordan

It depends on the model. Jordan fit varies between styles, so a single verdict for the whole brand would be misleading, and we only publish a fit verdict where we have measured one. The dependable way to answer it for the pair you are buying is to work from a shoe you already own and know fits: enter it above and we will tell you which Jordan size matches it.

Start from a shoe you already own that fits, rather than from your usual number. Enter it above and we will convert through foot length to the matching Jordan size, which is the part that carries across brands. The EU to US offset is not the same for every brand, so a rule of thumb learned elsewhere will not hold here.

Not directly, because a size label means whatever the brand decides it means. A Nike 42 and an Adidas 42 are cut for different foot lengths, and so is a Jordan 42. Foot length is the common unit, which is why our comparison works from the measurements behind each brands chart rather than from the number printed on the box.

Jordan is Nikes premium basketball footwear line, created in partnership with Michael Jordan. Since 1984, the brand has produced iconic sneakers that blend performance basketball technology with streetwear culture.

Jordan shoes typically fit true to size, though some retro models may run slightly large. Basketball performance models tend to have a snug, locked-in fit for court play.

For most Jordan retros (Air Jordan 1, 3, 4, etc.), stick with your normal Nike size. Performance basketball models may benefit from going half a size down for a more secure fit during play.
