"Opening" the box, the first thing you notice is the sheer "quality". This "Dior Air Jordan 1" isn't just a sneaker; it's a luxury item. The grey "Monogram" pattern is subtle yet instantly recognizable, and the construction? "Impeccable". You're looking at a ~$2000 piece of footwear history, and it feels like it. My "initial" impression is pure awe. Walking in these, you feel... elevated, no pun intended. The ankle support is great, and the insole has that co-branded logo—a nice touch. But honestly? The ride is firm. It's about the statement, not all-day comfort. For $2K, I wish they engineered a bit more underfoot. Still, on camera, they look absolutely legendary. On foot now... The fit is true to size for me, but the leather is so "stiff" initially – it needs a serious break-in period. Compared to my other Jordan 1s, it feels more structured, almost dressy? The insole is nice, but let's be real, the comfort level for a $2,000 sneaker isn't magically better than a GR. The weight is fine, but that premium comes from the details, "not" the cushioning. So, final thoughts. This shoe lives up to the hype in terms of construction and design. It's a piece of history. The pros: Unrivaled quality, iconic collaboration status, and a surprisingly wearable colorway. The cons: The astronomical cost ($2,000 USD!) and the initial stiffness. Who should buy it? Those with disposable income seeking a crown jewel for their collection. Who shouldn't? Anyone expecting a performance upgrade or who would stress about wear and tear. For me? It's a 10/10 for what it is.
