Built for Kids: Comfort, Support & Sizing Breakdown
This season’s Nike Air Jordan release is perfect for active kids. It offers the ideal combination of kid-friendly design and active performance, with the iconic visible Nike Air unit in the heel for extra bounce and extra cushioning for optimum comfort. Air Jordan 3s are known for their durability, so they’re ideal for kids who are always on the move.
Air Jordan Retro 3s kids’ sizing comes in three categories. Nike’s TD sizing is suited for toddlers, covering children's sizes 2-10. Nike PS sizing is for preschool-age kids, including children's size 10.5 through youth size 3. And Nike GS sizes cover older grade-school kids in youth sizes 3.5-7.
To find the perfect Jordan Retro 3s to fit your kid’s feet, start with their usual shoe size. Grade school Retro 3 Air Jordans typically fit true to size, but the extra padding in the heel can make them feel a little tight.
If you’re looking for extra support for active or athletic kids, stick true to size. If your child prefers a looser shoe, has a wider foot or is on the verge of outgrowing their current shoes, it might be best to size up your next pair of girls’ or boys’ Nike Air Jordan Retro 3 sneakers.
For smaller shoe sizes, in the TD or PS categories, the fit might be a little different. Although most reports claim the toddler and preschool kids’ Nike Air Jordan Retro 3 line fit true to size, some find them a little large, so you may need to go down a half size for the best fit.
