The stitching is immaculate. The insole is this beautiful, plush leather with the co-branded logo. It "feels" luxurious. But is the jump in quality worth the massive price jump from a regular High? For most sneakerheads just looking for the look – probably not. This is a "luxury item" first, a sneaker second. Putting these on... Wow. The fit is snug & true to size for a Jordan 1. The ankle collar has great padding. Honestly, the insole with the Dior Oblique pattern is a beautiful detail you only see. The "feel" is structured & firm, typical of the Jordan 1 series... so don't expect cloud-like comfort. It's about the look & the prestige. In summary, the Dior x Jordan collaboration delivered a masterpiece with the Air Jordan 1. The 'Dior Grey' colorway is iconic. You're paying for the name & insane quality. It's not for everyone—but for its target audience? It's absolutely perfect. Just be ready for the price & the pressure that comes with it. Who is it "not" for? Honestly, most people. If you're looking for groundbreaking comfort or a daily beater, look elsewhere in the Jordan series. The fear of damaging these is real. Also, if you're not into the subdued, monogrammed aesthetic, the price makes zero sense. There are countless amazing Jordan 1 colorways for a fraction of the cost.
