The leather, the construction, the co-branding – it's flawless. You're getting a piece of sneaker "and" fashion history. The con? Well, besides the $2,000 USD price, it's a bit "stiff" to wear. You might hesitate before throwing these on for a casual day. They feel "precious". If you want a beater shoe, look elsewhere immediately. Who is this shoe for? The collector who wants the pinnacle of the Jordan 1 lineage. Someone who values materials & branding history. The dior air jordan 1 is a cultural moment in sneaker form. Who is it "not" for? Practical daily wearers, people uncomfortable with flashy luxury items, or anyone expecting groundbreaking comfort. It's an experience, not just footwear. After wearing them for a day, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the dior air jordan 1 is probably the most beautifully made sneaker I own. On the other, I'm constantly aware of them – every step feels precious. The sole is quite hard. It's not a "forget you're wearing them" kind of shoe. It's a piece you "feel" & "see". That's its appeal & its drawback, depending on what you're looking for. On feet, the feel is… interesting. It's definitely an Air Jordan 1, so don't expect crazy cushioning. But! The materials — that buttery Italian leather — makes it feel more substantial. The ankle collar has nice padding. For a $2,000 USD sneaker, you "feel" the quality in the build and fit.
