Big, Small or True to Size?

Trying to find sizing for the Jordan 1 or want to determine the difference between Jordan 12 vs. Jordan 1 sizing? Here’s what you need to know about your favorite sneakers: 

Do Air Jordan 1s Run Big? 

According to any Air Jordan 1 size chart — and generations of sneakerheads who love a good AJ 1 — these sneakers are true to size.

How Do the Jordan 2s Run?

Like its predecessor, the Air Jordan 2s are true to size. 

Do Jordan 3s Run Big or Small?

The Jordan 3s run true to size, but if you have narrow feet, you may consider going up half a size to avoid too snug of a fit. 

Do Jordan 4s Run Big or Small?

The immensely popular AJ 4s fit true to size, which makes it easy when you’re buying sneakers for your toddler or teen. 

How Do Jordan 5s Fit? 

The Air Jordan 5 has a wider fit than some of its counterparts. So if you’re unsure of your size or you have narrow feet, try going a half-size down first. 

Do the Air Jordan 6s Run Big? 

Yes, the Air Jordan 6 is a bigger, wider, bulkier shoe, so if you’re looking for something for wider feet, this is a great option. Otherwise, size down a half-size. 

How Do the Air Jordan 7s Fit? 

This is another case of a roomier fit, so consider sizing down a half-size in the Air Jordan 7s, particularly if you have narrower feet.

Are the Air Jordan 8s Small? 

The Air Jordan 8s run true to size, but if you’re in between, consider sizing up. 

How do the Air Jordan 9s Fit? 

With their comfy boot-like fit, the Air Jordan 9s can feel snug to some. If you want a looser fit, size up slightly. 

Do Jordan 11s Run Big or Small?

Jordan 11 sizing tends to be true to size, but it can have a more generous fit through the body. So if you have narrow feet, you may try a half-size down. 

Should I Size Up in Air Jordan 12s? 

Like the 9s, the Air Jordan 12 can have a slightly more snug fit, so consider sizing up a half-size for wider feet. Otherwise go with your normal shoe size. 

Are the Air Jordan 13s True to Size? 

Yes! Going with your normal size will help ensure a perfect fit in the Air Jordan 13s

How Do the Air Jordan 14s Fit? 

Air Jordan 14 fans can enjoy ordering true to size sneakers. 

Are the Air Jordan 37s True to Size? 

Yes, the Air Jordan 37 basketball shoes are a true-to-size performance sneaker. 

How do the Air Jordan 38s Fit? 

The comfy and accommodating Air Jordan 38 shoes are true to size, even for those with wider feet. 

Jordan 9 Olive

Wide or Narrow?

Whether rocking a pair of Air Jordan 1 Lows or Air Jordan 35s, you may actually want to size up a half size if you have wider feet to accommodate the width. Those with narrow feet may wish to go down a size to achieve a better fit.


In general, they always run true to size regardless if they are high, mids, or lows. You might experience a different fit or feel depending on the sneaker’s design or lacing system, but the shoe size will be the same as your typical size.
