TD (toddler) covers baby and toddler sizes up to 10C, PS (preschool) runs from 10.5C to 3Y, GS (grade school) runs from 3.5Y to 7Y, and men’s sizes start at 7. Choose the category by your child’s foot length rather than age, then check the size run on the pair you want in our kids’ Jordan shoes.
Key Facts
- TD means toddler. Sizes use a “C” (child) and run up to 10C.
- PS means preschool, or little kids, and runs from 10.5C to 3Y.
- GS means grade school, or big kids, and runs from 3.5Y to 7Y.
- A 7Y fits a foot of about 24.6 cm; a 3Y about 21.8 cm; a 10C about 16.7 cm.
- After 7Y comes men’s 7, which Millennium Shoes lists as M7 / W8.5.
What do TD, PS and GS mean?
They are the three kids’ size categories Jordan Brand uses. TD is toddler, for babies and young walkers. PS is preschool, for little kids. GS is grade school, for big kids and many teens.
The letter after the number tells you which scale you are on. “C” sizes are child sizes and climb to 13.5C; “Y” sizes are youth sizes and start again at 1Y. So a 1Y is bigger than a 13.5C, which trips up a lot of parents.

How do you measure your child’s foot?
Measure in the afternoon, when feet are at their largest. Have your child stand on a sheet of paper, mark the back of the heel and the tip of the longest toe, and measure the distance in centimeters.
Compare the number with these foot lengths: 10C is about 16.7 cm, 13.5C about 19.7 cm, 1Y about 20.1 cm, 3Y about 21.8 cm and 7Y about 24.6 cm (Captain Creps size chart). Leave a little room at the toe for growth.
When should you move from GS to men’s sizes?
Move up when a 7Y gets tight. 7Y is the largest GS size, and the next step is men’s 7. On Millennium Shoes, every men’s size shows its women’s equivalent too, starting at M7 / W8.5, so you can compare quickly in Jordan shoes for men.
Why does the same Jordan cost less in kids’ sizes?
Smaller sizes are priced lower. The Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” family shows it clearly on our site: $79.99 for TD, $94.99 for PS, $154.99 for GS and $214.99 for men’s (prices on 19 October 2026).
The look stays the same across the family, but the details can vary by size, so read each listing before you buy. For example, the little kids’ and toddler AJ5 listings call out a padded collar and tongue and a grippy rubber outsole.
