Nike Dunk Low Sizing Guide: Does It Run Small or True to Size?

Fit Notes

Nike Air Force 1

The Air Force 1 features a significantly larger internal volume and a thicker midsole, often running a half-size large. To achieve a proper fit in the Nike Dunk Low, you must increase by 0.5 from your AF1 size to match your actual measured foot length and ensure proper toe-box clearance.

Adidas Samba

The Samba utilizes an extremely narrow, tapered last that often forces wearers to size up just to accommodate foot width. Because the Dunk Low features a more accommodating rounded toe box, you should return to your true length—which is typically 0.5 size down from the size you wear in narrow European silhouettes like the Samba.

Nike SB Dunk Low

The SB version is engineered with a 'fat' padded tongue and internal elastic gussets that significantly compress the foot. The standard 'Retro' Dunk Low lacks this internal padding and the thick Zoom Air insole, creating more internal room; therefore, a half-size smaller than your SB size will provide a comparable fit.

Air Jordan 1 Low

Both models utilize nearly identical 1985-era tooling and a similar low-profile last. While the Dunk Low offers a slightly wider feel in the toe box compared to the AJ1's more tapered profile, they both function as consistent True to Size models and should be purchased in the same size.
