How this Nike → Adidas chart actually maps

Nike US 10 is 27.1 cm and the nearest Adidas US is also 10 (EU 44). The printed ladder is 1:1 from US 6 (23.5 cm) through US 13 (29.7 cm). The wear-box “Nike 10 ≈ Adidas 10.0” is that centimeter match — it does not say Air Force 1 and Samba share a last. Adidas EU at that US 10 is 44; Nike’s own chart on sibling pages often prints EU 43.5 for the same US 10. Labels can disagree even when the cm column agrees.

Nike lifestyle lasts on this site split hard: AF1 often feels long (many half down); Dunk and Air Max 90 are closer TTS references. Adidas terrace lasts split the other way: Samba OG is TTS length but narrow; Gazelle often feels a half long for narrow/average feet; Ultraboost and Campus 00s follow their own volume. If you already half-down in AF1 and carry that smaller number into Samba because “the chart is 1:1,” you undersize the Adidas shoe.

Use 27.1 cm as the ticket, then pick the model. Convert from Dunk/AJ1 or from the cm column, not from the AF1 tongue. If you size Gazelle down a half, that is a terrace length quirk — do not auto-downsize a Dunk to match it. Half a size on this table is ~4 mm (26.7 → 27.1 → 27.5 cm). Spend it on width (Samba pinch vs Gazelle length), not on stacking two brand habits.

Model fit matters

FAQ

How do I convert Nike shoe size to Adidas?
Match by foot length in centimeters on each brand’s chart. Example: Nike US 10 ≈ Adidas US 10.0 (about 27.1 cm). Then adjust for the specific model’s fit (runs big/small/narrow).
Is a Nike US 10 the same as a Adidas US 10?
Not always. Labels can map to slightly different foot lengths. Use the cm column, then check model guides on both brands.
Which direction should I read first?
Start from the brand you already wear, then open the model fit pages linked below — lasts differ even when charts match.

Clothes sizing uses a separate compare path.
