The insole is nicer, but the midsole tech is vintage. The "big" pro here is unmatched prestige and artistry – it's a wearable collector's item. The con? The $2,000 USD price tag is a "massive" barrier for most. Comparing this to my other Jordan 1s? It's night and day. 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. Putting them on... wow. The fit is surprisingly "structured" and secure. It's not a super-soft, pillow-like feel—it's more of a premium, firm hug. Compared to my other "Jordan" 1s, the interior lining and padded collar are noticeably plusher. Walking around, you're very aware of the "weight" of the craftsmanship, both literally and figuratively. They feel substantial, not bulky. A definite step up in materials from the general release Jordan 1 High. Let's break down the pros. The obvious one: unmatched materials & construction on this "Dior x Jordan" collab. The grey leather and quilted interior are "chef's kiss". Secondly, its cultural impact is massive—it's a piece of history. Lastly, its versatility for a high-fashion item is surprising. You can actually wear this "Dior Air Jordan 1" more ways than you'd think. Those are the big wins.
