The grey is perfect. But let's talk cons: availability was crazy limited, and resale is astronomical. You're buying into an exclusive club. As a "wearable" shoe, it's fantastic. As a $2,000 investment... that's a personal call. For me, the experience of unboxing and wearing it is unique. On foot now, and the fit is... interesting. It's a premium, structured feel—very secure. But, let's be real, comfort-wise? It's still an AJ1 at heart, so don't expect Boost-level cushioning. It's a bit stiff initially. The real magic is in the look; on foot, the silhouette is "so" crisp and the grey tones are incredibly versatile for fits. 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. How does it look in person vs. pictures? Honestly... even better. The subtle details pop – the monogram on the swoosh, the icy outsole. This "Dior x Jordan" collab isn't loud; it's sophisticated. On foot, the silhouette is classic AJ1, but the materials elevate it to a completely different fashion tier. It turns heads for the right reasons.
