Nike Air Max Plus (TN)
Sizing & fit guide

Our verdict
Go ½ size up
The Nike Air Max Plus (TN) runs about ½ size small — the wrapped upper and structured toe box fit snug, so most wearers size up a half. Wide feet especially should go up; some find the TN can pinch even at a half up.

Why the Nike Air Max Plus (TN) fits this way

The Air Max Plus (TN) is widely reported to run small, and the common recommendation is to size up a half. A direct cross-model anchor: "I wear a 9.5 Air Force and 10 Air Max Plus" — placing the TN a half size up from the (large-fitting) AF1, which is effectively a full step up from a true Nike size. The TN's signature wrapped TPU upper and molded, structured toe box hug the foot and reduce interior volume, so the same length feels short and snug versus a roomier Air Max.

The snug forefoot is the recurring theme: wearers note the TN "can be a lil snug on wide feet," and the molded overlays don't stretch the way a mesh upper would. So wide-foot wearers are the most consistent ½-up (or more) buyers, while narrow feet can sometimes get away with true size.

Net: size up a half from your normal Nike size for comfortable length and toe room. Wide feet should treat the ½ up as a minimum and consider trying in person, since the structured upper can still feel close. The TN's fit is part of its identity — it's meant to wrap tightly — but for all-day comfort the half up is the safe move.

Common scenarios

I wear US 9.5 in Air Force 1. What size Air Max Plus?

US 10 — the TN runs about ½ small, sitting a half up from the AF1. Size up ½ from your normal Nike size.

I have wide feet. Is a half up enough?

It's the minimum — the TN's molded upper can feel snug on wide feet even at ½ up. Try in person if you can, and consider whether you need extra room.

Why do the TNs feel tighter than other Air Max?

The wrapped TPU upper and structured toe box hug the foot and don't stretch, so the same length feels shorter and snugger than a roomy AM90.
