How Nike and Adidas actually compare
The common belief on the internet suggests opting for half a size larger when switching from Nike to Adidas. However, the size charts provided by these brands do not support this advice. 1 cm. 6 cm.
Confusion often arises with the EU column since Adidas includes unique sizes like EU 44 2/3 that other major brands typically do not use. The style of the shoe, rather than the brand, tends to be more significant. Among the 210 Nike models tracked, 27 run approximately a half size large, meaning a Dunk will have a different fit than a Pegasus. If you often find yourself between sizes, measure your foot length in centimeters and rely on that number rather than the size label.
