.. special? Don't get me wrong, the materials are top-tier—the best suede I've handled. But the ride is still a flat, classic AJ1. The weight is fine, nothing heavy. The major pro is obviously the prestige & insane craftsmanship. The con? That insane price—$2,000! It's for the person who views shoes as art. If you just want a great Jordan 1, save your money and get a general release. Okay, opening the box... the "first" impression is just wild. The Italian leather on this "Dior Air Jordan 1" is on another level compared to a standard AJ1. That "Air Dior" wing logo? Flawless. The grey and white colorway is so clean and premium-looking. But let's be real - at "$2,000 USD", you're paying for that luxury name and insane craftsmanship right out of the gate. Comparing it side-by-side with my Chicago 1s… the difference in leather quality is night and day. The Dior version is buttery soft, while the retro is more rigid. Is that worth the massive price difference? For most, no. But for the specific hype & luxury appeal of the "dior air jordan 1"? To some, absolutely. Alright, let's get into these "huge" Dior Air Jordan 1s. First off, the box is an event itself—super premium. Pulling them out, the craftsmanship is immediately obvious. The 'Dior Grey' leather is "buttery" smooth, and that monogram swoosh is insane. For $2,000, you're paying for that luxury feel. They're a piece of art, truly.
