Nike clothing size help

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but im needing some help regarding clothes size for my 15 y/o. Hes currently wears nike bottoms in xl junior but theyre all getting abit small for him, so hes going to need to go up to mens sizes, im unsure whether to go for extra small or small mens? Any help would be appreciated from anyone that has experienced this. Thanks!

How tall is he? My 13 year old has started to wear small mens for some things, mainly tops which are a little large but look ok. He is in 13-15 nike joggers from JD sports and they fit but he could take a bigger size. He's slim and about 5 ft 5. I think next time I buy some for him I'll get mens small.

Urgh I hate this in between children's and men's sizes!

DS2 is 12, 5ft 6 and in joggers he's in junior xl(13-15), T-shirt's the same apart from a few small men's T-shirts. I wish they'd do a bigger junior sized joggers, his legs just aren't long enough for small men's joggers yet.

If it helps Tommy Hilfiger (JD) and Champion both do aged 16 clothes - DS has a pair of the TH joggers and they fit much better than the Nike ones

DS1 has the opposite problem - 17 , 6ft 2 and legs like a giraffe so only Nike tall range fits him

My 15 year old wears a small in Nike joggers he’s 5 foot 11 with a 28/30 inch waist. He could do with slightly longer length but they only seem to do one leg length which is frustraTing.
Welcome to the depressing cost of adult priced sports wear 😩

Nike tall range is your friend! ASOS stock them, there isn't much choice but better than ankle swingers Grin

Thanks for the replies. He has realllllly long legs but he's skinny. Im going to order him the extra small bottoms and hope for the best 🤞
