Air Jordan 11
Sizing & fit guide

Our verdict
True to size
The Air Jordan 11 fits true to size — wearers report the same number as their other retro Jordans and Air Max. The patent-leather mudguard is stiff and doesn't stretch, so wide-foot wearers may want a half up, but standard and medium-wide feet should stay true to size.

Why the Air Jordan 11 fits this way

The Air Jordan 11 is a true-to-size silhouette, and wearers use it as a sizing anchor for the whole retro line. One commenter who is 9.5 TTS across "Allen Edmonds, Nike Air Max 2013/2017, and Jordan 11s" confirms the same number fits perfectly; another reports the 11 sitting alongside the AF1 and other retro Jordans at the same size. The shoe runs slightly snug out of the box and breaks in: "I have rather wide feet and it takes some time to get that perfect fitment but always TTS."

The defining constraint is the patent-leather mudguard. Unlike a textile or soft-leather upper, the patent shell is rigid and does not stretch, so a too-tight pair will stay tight. Wide-foot wearers therefore have two camps: most stay TTS and break them in, while some go "TTS or half size up depending on how wide your feet are and if you like a bit of extra toe room." Because the patent won't give, wide feet that are borderline should lean toward the half up.

Net: true to size for standard and medium feet. The AJ11 is a dressier, more structured retro — the fit is secure and slightly snug by design. Wide-foot or high-instep wearers can size up a half; everyone else takes their normal Nike retro size.

Common scenarios

I wear US 9.5 in Air Max and Jordan retros. What size AJ11?

US 9.5 — the AJ11 fits true to size alongside your other retros. It's snug out of the box and breaks in.

I have wide feet. Will the AJ11 stretch?

The patent-leather mudguard doesn't stretch, so a too-tight pair stays tight. Wide-foot wearers who are borderline should size up ½ rather than rely on break-in.

Does the AJ11 fit like the AJ1?

Both true to size. The AJ11 is more structured and dressier, with a stiffer patent shell, but the same number works.
