Nike China’s men’s footwear guide says centimetre sizes on boxes and labels differ from foot length in centimetres.
What the source reports

Nike China’s men’s footwear guide says centimetre sizes on boxes and labels differ from foot length in centimetres. 足部长度 means foot length; 尺码 means size. A shared unit does not make the two descriptions interchangeable.
The kids’ footwear chart offers another example. In its older-kids section, both US 4.5Y and US 5Y carry a Chinese 235 mm entry, while their European entries are 36.5 and 37.5 respectively. This is a selected mapping from that chart, not a universal conversion rule or a claim that the two shoes fit identically.
| Nike older-kids US entry | China — mm | EU entry |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5Y | 235 | 36.5 |
| 5Y | 235 | 37.5 |
