How do Air Force 1s fit compared to Jordan 1s?

Air Force 1s run about half a size large and have a wider toe box than Jordan 1s. Jordan 1 Highs and Lows run true to size with a slightly narrower profile. If you wear a size 10 in AF1s, you will likely wear a size 10 or 10.5 in Jordan 1s, depending on foot width. Always use the same size from a pair you already own as a reference when ordering custom sneakers.

How do I size kids' custom Air Force 1s?

For kids' custom Air Force 1s, measure the child's foot length in centimeters and use the size chart to find the corresponding youth size. Kids' AF1s also run slightly large — going true to size or half a size down is recommended. For growing children, some parents choose true to size to allow room. Include the child's foot measurement in the design request to confirm size availability.

What if I'm between sizes for a custom sneaker order?

For Air Force 1s: go half a size down. For Jordan 1s: go true to size. If you are unsure after reviewing the size guide, include your foot measurement in the StyleReels design request form and we will advise on the best size before sourcing your shoes. We confirm size availability before any painting begins.

Air Force 1 & Jordan 1 Size Guide | Do AF1s Run True to Size?

Q: Do Air Force 1s run true to size?

Air Force 1s run slightly large — approximately half a size larger than most Nike running shoes. Most wearers order their true size or go half a size down for a snug fit. If you are between sizes, sizing down half a size is generally the better choice. Wide-foot wearers should stay true to size. For custom AF1 orders, include your foot measurement in the design request if you are unsure.

Q: Should I size up in Air Force 1s?

No — Air Force 1s already run large, so sizing up is rarely needed. Most people should go true to size or half a size down. The only exception is if you have very wide feet and plan to wear thick socks, in which case true to size is usually right. Going up a full size in AF1s typically results in a pair that is too large.

Q: What size should women order in custom Air Force 1s?

Women's Air Force 1s typically run half a size large. Most women order their true women's size or go half a size down. For women ordering in men's sizing, subtract 1.5 sizes — a women's 8 converts to a men's 6.5. Air Force 1s are available in full and half sizes for women.

Foot Width Guide

Narrow, Normal, or Wide — What to Order

Foot width affects sizing differently for AF1s and Jordan 1s. Use this quick guide to find the right recommendation for your foot width.

👟

Narrow Feet

Both AF1s and Jordan 1s have a medium to wide toe box. Narrow-foot wearers often prefer going half a size down in AF1s to reduce excess room. Jordan 1s fit narrow feet at true to size.

AF1: half size down / Jordan 1: true to size

✅

Normal Width

Standard-width feet are what both AF1s and Jordan 1s are designed for. True to size is the right call for most normal-width wearers on both models.

AF1: true to size / Jordan 1: true to size

↔️

Wide Feet

AF1s accommodate wide feet well at true to size — the wide toe box is a known benefit. Jordan 1 Mids run narrow and wide-foot wearers may want to go half a size up in that specific model only.

AF1: true to size / Jordan 1 Mid: half up

Measure Your Foot

Not Sure of Your Size? Measure in 4 Steps.

If you haven't bought Nike shoes recently or are between sizes, measure your foot length for the most accurate size recommendation.

Prepare paper and pen

Place a blank sheet of paper on a hard floor. Put on the socks you plan to wear with the shoes — sock thickness affects fit. Stand on the paper with your full weight on the foot.

Trace your foot outline

Have someone trace the outline of your foot while you stand. Keep the pen or pencil vertical — not angled inward — for accurate results. Trace the full outline from heel to toe.

Measure foot length

Measure the straight-line distance from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel in centimeters. This is your foot length measurement.

Match to your size

Use the foot length column in the tables above to find your corresponding US size. Apply the AF1 or Jordan 1 sizing recommendation for that size. Still unsure? Include your measurement in your design request — we'll advise before sourcing your shoes.

FAQ

Sizing Questions

Do Air Force 1s run true to size?

Air Force 1s run slightly large — about half a size bigger than most Nike running shoes. Most people order their true size and find the fit comfortable, but some prefer going half a size down for a snugger fit. If you are between two sizes, go half a size down. Wide-foot wearers should stay true to size as the wide toe box accommodates them at standard sizing.

Should I size up in Air Force 1s?

No — Air Force 1s already run large, so sizing up typically results in a pair that is too big. The only scenario where sizing up is considered is if you have very wide feet and your true size AF1 is still too narrow, which is uncommon given the wide toe box. The more common adjustment is sizing down, not up. Use the tables above or include your foot measurement in your design request if you are unsure.

Do Jordan 1s run true to size?

Jordan 1 Highs and Lows run true to size for most wearers. Jordan 1 Mids run slightly narrow — wide-foot wearers in the Mid may want to go half a size up. If you are between sizes on any Jordan 1, going true to size is the standard recommendation. Jordan 1s do not run large like AF1s — do not size down in Jordan 1s unless advised.

How do AF1s compare in fit to Jordan 1s?

Air Force 1s have a wider, roomier toe box and run about half a size large. Jordan 1s run true to size with a slightly more structured fit around the ankle. If you wear a size 10 in Air Force 1s, you will likely wear a 10 or 10.5 in Jordan 1s. The best reference is always a pair of shoes you already own — note the size and model, and use that as your starting point when ordering your custom pair.

What size should women order in custom Air Force 1s?

Women's Air Force 1s run half a size large — same as men's. Most women order their true women's size or go half a size down. For women ordering in men's sizing (which some prefer for a wider fit), subtract 1.5 from your women's size — a women's 8 is a men's 6.5, a women's 9 is a men's 7.5. See the women's sizing table above for full conversions.

What if I'm between sizes when ordering custom sneakers?

For Air Force 1s: go half a size down. For Jordan 1s: go true to size. If you are still unsure after reading this guide, measure your foot length in centimeters and include it in your design request form. We will advise on the exact size before sourcing your shoes — no painting begins until the size is confirmed and your design is approved.

Can I send my own shoes if I already know my size?

Yes. If you already own an unworn Nike Air Force 1 or Jordan 1 in your exact size and preferred colorway, you can ship it to StyleReels for custom painting. Contact us first to confirm eligibility — shoes must be genuinely unworn and undamaged. Mention the send-in option in your design request and we will provide shipping instructions and a handling fee quote.

Do you offer half sizes in custom Air Force 1s?

Yes. StyleReels sources genuine Nike Air Force 1s and Jordan 1s in full and half sizes across the entire men's, women's, and youth size range. Half sizes are available for most sizes. If you have a specific half size requirement or a size that is harder to source, mention it in your design request and we will confirm availability before taking payment.
