Fit depth guide

Jordan 4 is a high-intent lifestyle/basketball retro. Length usually matches your AJ1/Dunk size. Width is the gotcha: pinky-toe and metatarsal pressure are common on older retros.

If buying a Reimagined or SB pair, start TTS even with wider feet. For older retros on resale, half up is the safer wide-foot experiment. Do not copy an AF1 half-down habit onto AJ4.
