Recently I put my hands on both the Nike Dunk and Air Force 1 so I could directly compare Nike Dunk vs Air Force 1 sizing using helpful photos of real shoes that I own. Do Nike Dunks and Air Force 1 fit the same?
In my experience, Nike Air Force 1 shoes fit a little bit looser than Nike Dunks. Nike Dunks fit true to size and Air Force 1 shoes run a little bit bigger than normal shoe sizing. Scroll down for photos.
In this article I will compare Nike Dunk sizing to Nike Air Force 1 sizing for both men and women using side-by-side comparison sizing photos.

Men’s Photo Comparing Nike Dunks to Air Force 1 Sizing
Below is a photo of my men’s Air Force 1 shoes compared to Nike Dunks. If you look closely, you can see that the Air Force 1 on the left has a tiny bit more length. The AF1 also has what I would describe as a roomier toe box, which can make the shoe feel bigger than normal shoe sizing.
The toe box area on the men’s Nike Air Force 1 has a more squared design than the toe box of the Nike Dunk, which can cause the AF1 to have a roomier fit. Below is a photo of the AF1 toe box (left) compared to Nike Dunk:
