    Variability and caveats

    When Nike can feel different from the usual sizing tendency

    Cut

    Structured pieces usually feel smaller first, especially through the shoulders, waist, or hip.

    Fabric stretch

    Fabric stretch changes how strongly the sizing tendency shows up: more give softens it, less give makes it more obvious.

    Styling

    Different collections or sub-lines can use different fit blocks, so styling changes may matter as much as the label size.

    Nike designs performance apparel with compression as a core engineering spec. Their fit blocks prioritise muscle support and aerodynamic drag reduction, not comfort-first relaxed sizing. Lifestyle sneakers use different lasts to performance runners, this is why shoe sizing differs across sub-lines.
