Nike Air Presto Sizing: How Does It Fit?

The Nike Air Presto is no doubt one of the most iconic silhouettes in existence. Even though it's over two decades old, its design has pretty much remained unchanged since - a testament to just how timeless it really is. Making its grand debut all the way back in the year 2000, it was introduced at the Sydney Olympics which was timed absolutely perfectly. Eyes from around the world were transfixed on both the talented athletes and this brand new sneaker, which at that moment in time, was unlike anything we had ever seen before.

Featuring a sock-like neoprene upper and a Nike Air midsole underfoot, the Presto was marketed as the "T-Shirt for your feet". This was much more than just a ploy though, as it was also sold in clothing sizes to simplify the shoe sizing process. From 5XS to 5XL, check out the sizing chart below for an accurate conversion!

Although the newer Presto releases have reverted back to the traditional numeric sizing, some drops still use the clothing style sizing, including the original Nike x Acronym collaboration.

If you want to experience the Nike Presto first hand then you need to make sure you find the perfect pair. With that said, we've compiled a handy size guide to help you find the ultimate fit. With feedback from The Sole Supplier team, we're here to answer all of your questions. How does the unique sizing work? Which shoe size should I get? Are they comfortable? If you are wondering any of these things then this is the Nike Air Presto size guide that you need to read right now!

For me, the Presto fits true to size. This means because I'm usually a size 10UK I would go for size L in the Prestos which is the same as a UK10 to a UK11. I wouldn't go any bigger as the sock-like upper is quite stretchy, so they may end up being too big if you do that. With that said, the rubberised midfoot cage does a great job of holding everything in.

If I'm being honest I didn't think the Presto would be very comfortable but I was dead wrong. I have wider-than-normal feet so I thought that they would suffocate me, but they're actually pretty great for all-day wear, whether you're hitting up the city or running a marathon.

Because of its more athletic aesthetic, I tend to rock my Prestos with sportier fits like hoodies and shorts. The Prestos come in hundreds of crazy colourways and also come in Mid form as well, so the sky's the limited when it comes to styling them!

I don't really clean my sneakers as I think the scratches and scuffs gives it a bit of personality, but because of the sock-like upper I just throw them into the washing machine on a cold wash and they come out as good as new.

I personally went TTS for the Presto. To put this into normal sizing context I'm usually a size 7.5UK so I went XS for these to fit between a UK7-UK8. Interestingly though, the Off-White x Nike Air Presto came in normal sizing so make sure you check before you cop!

These are some of the most comfortable creps that money can buy and I'm glad that they're bringing back some of the OG colourways. From the sock upper to the cushioned midsole underfoot, I would gladly rock these all day. Ya boy sure does love his Prestos!

T-Shirts and shorts are the best bet for these trainers. They're super breathable so a more casual fit is recommended - my opinion anyway!

From my own personal experience, a soft bristled brush and some warm soapy water does the trick. Lightly place it onto the neoprene upper and brush in a circular motion. That's all you need to do really.

There's no questioning it. You need to go true to size for this retro pair. I'm usually a 7UK so for the Prestos I would go XS. Any bigger or smaller wouldn't fit so make sure you get the right size.

Personally I wouldn't call these the most comfortable shoe ever. I prefer a chunkier sneaker and these are very sleek but I could still rock them for a few hours here and there.

From vintage sporty fits to oversized suits, the Presto works with everything. It helps because these are just so timeless.

I just throw them in the washing machine and that's all I do. It really does fit the "T-Shirt for your feet" slogan!
