.. there's no competition on materials, period. The "Dior Air Jordan 1's" leather is buttery and thick. But is it "$1,800 more" comfortable? Not really. The comfort is similar to a well-made, stiff leather Jordan. You're buying the art, the collaboration, the status. It's a grail for collectors, not for performance. So, would I recommend it? It's not a recommendation, it's an "acknowledgement". At $2,000 USD retail (forget resale!), this isn't a purchase, it's an acquisition. If your financial situation allows for it without a second thought, and you've wanted this since the first leak... go for it. For 99.9% of us, including myself, it remains the ultimate grail to admire from afar. And honestly? That's part of its legendary appeal. The attention to detail is wild. From the box to the dust bag to the shoe itself... everything screams luxury. On feet, the silhouette is classic AJ1, but the grey hue makes it look more... mature? Pairs amazingly with both jeans and tailored pants. This isn't your average "Jordan series" release; it's a fashion item first. Suits a minimalist style perfectly. Who is this "NOT" for? Practically speaking, almost everyone—and that's okay. If you're looking for top-tier comfort or performance, look elsewhere. If you're hesitant to "really" wear a $2,000 shoe and get creases... this will cause you stress. It's not for the casual fan or someone just getting into the "Jordan" series. Start with a classic colorway, not this masterpiece.
