The leather on a standard retro is "good", but on the "Dior AJ1", it's buttery-smooth and has zero plastic feel. The shape is also sleeker, less bulky around the ankle. However—and this is key—the iconic silhouette is perfectly preserved. You're still getting that classic Jordan 1 look, just… elevated. It makes my other pairs feel almost like prototypes in comparison, which is wild to say. Final verdict? The "Dior Air Jordan 1 High" is a masterpiece of collaboration. The quality is undeniable, the look is iconic yet fresh. But it’s a luxury item first, a sneaker second. My advice: appreciate it for what it is—a historic, beautifully made object. For most, admiring from afar is the move. But if you copped, wear them respectfully and enjoy every second. Just maybe avoid rainy days, yeah? Thanks for watching—let me know your thoughts on this pair down below! On feet now. Honestly? The "Dior Air Jordan 1" fits true to size, with a slightly more padded feel than your typical Jordan 1. It's not a "comfort" shoe, let's be real – it's still a retro basketball silhouette. But the materials... wow. They mold to your foot nicely. The major advantage here is the head-turning power. The downside? You'll be "so" conscious of creasing these premium panels. At this price, you're paying for the art & collaboration, not for cloud-like comfort. If you want comfy, look elsewhere. On foot, let's be real. The "Dior Air Jordan 1" is a beautiful object, but comfort? It's a classic AJ1. It's firm, a bit heavy, and the break-in period is real. The padding is nice, but don't expect Boost or React. You're buying the prestige, the iconic Dior monogram on the swoosh, and that insane quality. If you want a plush, all-day shoe? This isn't it. But for style and collectibility? It's top tier.
