Both are Jordan models, but lasts differ. Air Jordan 1 High is labeled True to Size (True to size (same as usual Nike/Jordan size)). Air Jordan 4 Retro is True to Size (True to size; half up if wide (esp. pre-2023 retros)).
Jordan 1 High is one of the more reliable Nike-family lasts: GOAT, retailer guides, and owner consensus point to true-to-size length — not AF1-roomy and not Samba-narrow. Stick to your usual Nike/Jordan size; adjust half a size only for foot width preference. High, Mid, and Low share the same last.
Air Jordan 4 Retro is generally true to size in length. The classic last runs narrow across the metatarsals, so wide feet often go half up — especially on pre-2023 retros. Post-2023 Reimagined and SB versions are more accommodating at TTS.
Use the table below as a starting point from fit offsets — then confirm with try-on or returns. Width can matter more than length between these two.
