.. 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, final verdict? The "Dior Air Jordan 1" is an iconic, "beautiful" shoe. It's a piece you buy once in a lifetime, if ever. The pros are the prestige, the materials, and the statement it makes. The cons are the astronomical price and the merely decent comfort. It's perfect for display or special occasions, but a terrible choice as your only or main pair of Jordans. On foot, the silhouette is undeniably iconic. It "does" turn every head. The quality is, honestly, the best I've seen on any Jordan 1 ever. That's the biggest pro. The con? That insane $2,000 USD MSRP. It fundamentally changes the relationship you have with the shoe. You don't just wear it; you curate an experience. Is it worth it? That's super personal. As a sneaker, $2k is wild. As a cultural artifact from the Jordan & Dior collaboration? Maybe. The craftsmanship justifies some of the cost. But be real: you're not buying these just for the "feel on foot." You're buying the story, the brand, the exclusivity. They're a trophy for your rotation.
