Both are Jordan models, but lasts differ. Air Jordan 4 Retro is labeled True to Size (True to size; half up if wide (esp. pre-2023 retros)). Air Jordan 1 High is True to Size (True to size (same as usual Nike/Jordan size)).
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.
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.
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.

| Advice | True to size; half up if wide (esp. pre-2023 retros) | True to size (same as usual Nike/Jordan size) |
| Width | Narrower at the metatarsals on classic retros; Reimagined/SB more accommodating | Basketball-heritage toebox — roomier than Dunk; narrow feet may half down, wide may half up |
| Break-in | Short break-in; older retros firmer in the forefoot | Leather softens; collar stiff at first |
