Nike Air Max 720 fits true to size for most people — the same number as Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Max 97, Nike Dunk Low, and YEEZY Boost 350 V2, and about half a size larger in number than Air Force 1, adidas Superstar, and Converse Chuck Taylor. The engineered mesh upper sits close to the foot; the tall 720 Air unit fills the heel without adding length. Based on 306 owner-reported pairs in the Feetlot database, the typical wearer takes the same number in AM720 as in AJ1 or AM90. If unsure: order true to size. Wide feet should size up half — the toe cap doesn't flex with width.
Air Max 720 Sizing — What 306 Pairs in the Feetlot Database Tell Us
The Nike Air Max 720 is the most-tracked tall-Air-unit Nike sneaker in the Feetlot database. Across 306 owner-reported pairs, the residual variance is tight (standard deviation ≈ 0.25 size units), consistent across the standard 720 and 720 React colorways. Feetlot data shows AM720 fits in the same bucket as Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Max 97, YEEZY 350 V2, Nike Dunk Low and High, and SB Dunk Low — true to size — and about half a size larger in number than Air Force 1, Superstar, Stan Smith, and Converse Chuck Taylor.
The reason Air Max 720 sits in the AJ1/AM90 bucket — half a step above AF1 — is the lightweight mesh upper. The engineered mesh sits closer to the foot than AF1's padded leather construction, leaving less length slack. The 360-degree Air unit sits in the outsole without contributing to upper length. The fit mirrors AM270 and AM270 React, two other mesh-upper Air Max models with the same offset.
Should You Size Up or Down in Air Max 720?
Standard fit (most people)
Order true to size — your usual sneaker number (AJ1, AM90, AM97, YEEZY, Dunk). If you normally go half down from your Nike baseline in AF1, take AM720 at your Nike baseline. If you own AJ1 in size 10, take AM720 in size 10.
Wide feet
Size up half. The engineered mesh allows limited forefoot flex, but the toe cap holds shape. Width isn't offered separately. Half a size up is the standard wide-foot adjustment in the Feetlot database.
Narrow feet
True to size works for most narrow feet. Going half down risks the toe hitting the toe cap at the end of the Air unit.
Air Max 720 vs Air Max 720 React
The Air Max 720 (2019) and the Air Max 720 React variant use the same upper last and the same length advice — true to size, about half a size larger in number than AF1. The React midsole layer in the 720 React doesn't change the upper fit. Same size in both.
How Air Max 720 Compares to Other Sneakers
The Nike Air Max 720 fits at the same numerical size as Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 4, Nike Air Max 90, Air Max 1, Air Max 95, Air Max 97, Air Max 270, Nike Dunk Low, Nike Dunk High, SB Dunk Low, Nike Blazer Mid '77, Vans Authentic, Vans Old Skool, adidas NMD R1, adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V2, adidas Gazelle, adidas Ultraboost, and New Balance 574. According to Feetlot data, all of these round to the same size in 0.5 increments.
The shoes that run larger in number than AM720 (meaning: take the same number you wear in those, in AM720 too, but from AF1/Superstar you size up half): Nike Air Force 1, adidas Superstar, adidas Stan Smith, Converse Chuck Taylor Ox, Converse Chuck Taylor Hi, and Sperry Authentic Original all run about half a size smaller in number — if you wear AF1 in 10, take AM720 in 10.5.
Boot-style models: Red Wing Iron Ranger runs about a full size smaller in number than AM720 — if you wear Iron Ranger in 10, take AM720 in 11.

Common Sizing Mistakes
- Buying AM720 in your AF1 size. AF1 runs about half a size smaller in number. If you wear AF1 in 10, take AM720 in 10.5 — not 10.
- Assuming the tall Air unit adds length. The 720 Air unit sits in the outsole, not the upper. The mesh upper determines length fit — same as AJ1 or AM90 in number.
- Carrying Superstar or Stan Smith sizing over. Both run about half a size smaller in number than AM720. If you wear Superstar or Stan Smith in 10, take AM720 in 10.5.
- Confusing AM720 with AM270 sizing. AM720 and AM270 both fit true to size (AJ1/AM90 bucket) — same number between them. No size adjustment when switching between these two models.
- Using Chuck Taylor as a reference. Converse Chuck Taylor Ox runs about half a size smaller in number than AM720. If you wear Chuck in 10, take AM720 in 10.5.
How Feetlot Computes These Numbers
Every Air Max 720 sizing recommendation on Feetlot is the output of a global offset model fit to over 100,000 owner-reported shoe records. Each shoe gets a single number — its "size offset" — that captures how its sizing drifts relative to a reference shoe (the Nike Air Force 1). When a Feetlot user provides their size in any tracked shoe, the model recovers their true foot baseline and recommends the matching AM720 size.
This works better than the pairwise approach because Feetlot uses the entire wardrobe graph. Even when two users share zero shoes directly, the chain of users in between transmits a consistent recommendation. The result: sizing advice that holds up no matter how unusual a wardrobe is.
