This isn't your average retro. The "Dior x Air Jordan 1" collaboration is heavy—in quality, not weight. On foot, it's stiff like all 1s, but you're paying for that iconic silhouette reimagined. The grey suede and white paneling look even better in motion. Pro: The materials justify (some of) the $2,000 cost. Con: You'll be paranoid wearing them. It's perfect for luxury fashion fans, but terrible as a daily beater. A true showpiece. Putting these on, the fit is... interesting. It's true to size, but the construction is so premium and stiff initially. The padding is plush, offering great ankle support. Honestly, the weight feels a bit heavier than your standard AJ1, which makes sense given the materials. Walking around, you feel the quality, but it's not a "cloud-like" experience—it's a structured, high-end sneaker feel. A definite pro is that unmatched craftsmanship. Walking in these is an event. The weight is noticeable, and the sole is firm – don't expect Boost-like comfort. But the silhouette? Perfection. They make any simple fit look instantly expensive. The "Dior x Jordan" collab redefined what a sneaker could be. For the collector or style purist who views shoes as wearable art, this is the ultimate grail. For someone seeking comfort or a workhorse sneaker, this price tag makes zero sense. Sliding these on for the first time... the fit is interesting. It's a "Dior Air Jordan 1", so you expect a certain feel, & it delivers a snug, secure wrap. The insole is super plush, way more than your standard AJ1. However, let's be real— it's still a high-top Jordan 1 at its core. Don't expect crazy cushioning; it's about that classic, slightly stiff (but premium) feel. The attention to detail on-foot is just insane, though.
