Nike Dunk High
Sizing & fit guide

Our verdict
True to size
The Nike Dunk High fits true to size — it shares the regular Dunk Low's last, just with a higher collar. Take your normal Nike size. As with the Low, the SB Dunk High is the exception and runs about ½ small due to skate padding.

Why the Nike Dunk High fits this way

The Nike Dunk High is built on the same last as the regular Dunk Low, so the sizing carries over: true to size for medium-width feet. There is far less dedicated Dunk High sizing discussion than for the Low or the SB — the Dunk High conversation on Reddit is dominated by colorway and release threads — but the threads that do touch fit treat it as a TTS retro basketball silhouette, the same as the Low.

The higher collar adds ankle coverage but does not change the foot fit; it can feel snug around the ankle out of the box and eases with break-in. The leather upper relaxes after the first several wears, like the Low.

The important distinction is regular Dunk High vs SB Dunk High. The regular Dunk High fits TTS; the SB Dunk High — with its padded tongue and skate cushioning — runs about ½ small, the same pattern as the SB Dunk Low. If you're buying an SB, size up ½ for casual wear. Because direct Dunk High sizing evidence is thin, confidence here is low: the TTS verdict is inherited from the shared Dunk last rather than a large dedicated vote, so treat it as a reliable default and check release-specific reviews for collabs.

Common scenarios

I wear US 10 in regular Nike Dunk Low. What size Dunk High?

US 10 — the Dunk High shares the Dunk Low's last and fits the same. True to size.

Does the higher collar change the fit?

Not the foot fit — it adds ankle coverage that can feel snug initially and breaks in. Length and width match the Dunk Low.

Is the SB Dunk High the same fit as the regular Dunk High?

No — the SB Dunk High runs about ½ small from skate padding, like the SB Low. Size up ½ for SBs (casual); the regular Dunk High is TTS.
