Jordan 4s fit true to size for most people, so buy your usual Nike or Jordan size. The forefoot is snug and slightly narrow, which is why some people feel they run small. If you have wide feet, go up half a size; with regular or narrow feet, stay true to size.

Do Jordan 4s run true to size?
Yes. Nike's own Air Jordan 4 sizing guide says the shoe generally fits true to size for standard foot shapes, and the size guides from PUSHAS, Sole Retriever and Woovin reach the same verdict. Length isn't the issue. Width is: Nike notes many wearers find the 4 narrower at the metatarsals, the widest part of the forefoot.
That snug forefoot is behind the common search "do Jordan 4s run small?". They don't run short; they wrap the foot closely, especially fresh out of the box. Nike says the 4 may need a short break-in, and Sole Retriever notes nubuck and suede pairs soften after a few wears. Break-in eases pressure across the sides, but it won't add length.
Jordan 4 sizing by foot type
| Your foot | Size to buy in the Jordan 4 |
|---|---|
| Narrow | True to size; lace a little tighter |
| Regular | True to size |
| Wide | Half a size up |
Before sizing up for width, try Nike's tip: loosen the laces through the forefoot. If the pair still pinches across the little toe, the half size up is the right call. Nike also suggests men with a typical C or D width consider half a size up for more forefoot room.
Retro vs Reimagined vs SB sizing
- Retro: true to size; wide feet go up half a size. Examples: Jordan 4 Military Black and Jordan 4 White Cement (2025).
- Reimagined and SB: Nike recommends true to size for both standard and wide feet, and Sole Retriever says the reworked shape used since the 2023 SB collaboration fits better for all-day wear. See the Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined and Jordan 4 SB Navy.
Jordan 4 vs Jordan 1, Dunk and Air Force 1 sizing
- Jordan 1: true to size, so most people wear the same size as their Jordan 4. The 4 feels snugger across the forefoot, so wide feet may go up half a size in the 4 only.
- Jordan 3: true to size with a similar fit; same size for most people.
- Nike Dunk: true to size; same size as your Jordan 4.
- Nike Air Force 1: runs big, and Nike recommends half a size down. Don't copy your AF1 size across: if you sized down in AF1s, your Jordan 4 size is half a size above your AF1 size.
Women's and GS Jordan 4 sizing
Women's Jordan 4s also fit true to size, though Nike notes the toe box can feel tighter than other sneakers, so wide feet should go up half a size. Nike's men's and women's sizes sit exactly 1.5 apart: add 1.5 to a men's size to get the women's (men's 8 = women's 9.5). Women's pairs include the Jordan 4 Metallic Gold (W).
GS (grade school) sizes run from 3.5Y to 7Y. A Y size is the same number in men's and 1.5 lower than women's, so women up to a US 8.5 can wear GS pairs such as the Jordan 4 Military Black (GS).
| GS (Y) | US men's | US women's |
|---|---|---|
| 4Y | 4 | 5.5 |
| 5Y | 5 | 6.5 |
| 6Y | 6 | 7.5 |
| 6.5Y | 6.5 | 8 |
| 7Y | 7 | 8.5 |

How to measure your foot
- Tape a sheet of paper to a hard floor against a wall.
- Stand on it with your weight even and your heel against the wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure from the wall in centimetres.
- Repeat with the other foot and match the longer measurement to the chart above.
Nike's advice if you land between two sizes: size up. Remember the cm on the shoe box is the JP size, not your foot length.

Jordan 4 sizing FAQ
Do Jordan 4s run small?
No. Air Jordan 4s fit true to size in length, so most people should buy their usual Nike size. They are snug through the forefoot, which is why some people feel they run small. If you have wide feet, go up half a size.
Should I size up in Jordan 4s?
Only if you have wide feet or want a roomier fit. In that case go up half a size. With regular or narrow feet, stay in your usual Nike size. Reimagined and SB pairs are true to size even for most wide feet.
Are Jordan 4s the same size as Jordan 1s?
Yes. Both fit true to size, so most people wear the same size in each. The Jordan 4 is snugger across the forefoot, so wide-footed buyers sometimes go up half a size in the 4 only.
How do I convert men's Jordan 4 sizes to women's?
Add 1.5 to the men's size. A US men's 8 is a US women's 9.5, and a US men's 9 is a US women's 10.5. To go from women's to men's, subtract 1.5.
What size is 7Y in women's?
On Nike's official chart, a 7Y (grade school) is a US women's 8.5 and a US men's 7. 7Y is the largest GS size; above that, sizing moves to men's.
