The quality of the leather is insane – it's buttery smooth in some parts, rigid in others for structure. But that $2k price tag? Oof. It's a hard pill to swallow. If you're looking for a comfy, everyday Jordan 1, look elsewhere. This is for the collector, the fashion-head, the person who sees shoes as wearable art. Who is it "not" for? Honestly, most people. If you're looking for groundbreaking comfort or a daily beater, look elsewhere in the Jordan series. The fear of damaging these is real. Also, if you're not into the subdued, monogrammed aesthetic, the price makes zero sense. There are countless amazing Jordan 1 colorways for a fraction of the cost. So, who is this for? Honestly, the collector or the high-end fashion enthusiast. If you appreciate the merger of streetwear & haute couture, and have the means, it's a grail. For the average sneakerhead just looking for a cool Jordan 1 to wear daily? There are a hundred better (and comfier) options. This is a statement piece, first and foremost. Let's talk practicality for a second. A major "advantage" of this "Dior Jordan 1" is its versatility. The grey and white color scheme goes with "so" much. But here's the downside—are you actually going to wear a $2000 shoe regularly? For me, that's a tough call. The fear of creasing or scuffing is real. It's a "special occasion" kind of sneaker, which might not suit someone looking for a daily wearer.
