Extended Sizing for Kids
Every Body Is Different
That’s why we’re introducing extended sizing for kids. By adding width, not length, to all their favorite sports styles, kids can find the gear that fits and feels great.
“Though society may deem a body as husky, plus, tall, short, etc., we don’t want to label what a body looks like. Kids and parents just need to find the right size and we are here to help by extending our size range.”

Nike Innovates for Kids
To pinpoint the right size range and the apparel styles kids love most, we conducted 2,000 body scans, in-depth interviews with kids and their families, as well as hours of wear-testing. The result? Their favorite styles made just right for them.

How Does Extended Sizing Work?
We developed our extended sizes by adjusting width, not the length, of classic sports styles for boys and girls. To find the right fit:
- Measure around the fullest part of the chest
- Measure the narrowest part of the waist
- Measure around the fullest part of the hips
Check our updated size chart to find the corresponding measurement to determine the right size. Extended sizes are notated with a subtle plus symbol [+].
