It photographs beautifully. It doesn't scream for attention, but the details pop when you look close. Compared to my other Jordans, this Dior Air Jordan 1 is in a completely different universe in terms of presentation and price point—we're talking $2,000+ resale. Another positive? The versatility. That neutral gray/white color scheme actually goes with a lot—from jeans to smarter trousers. The major con, besides cost, is the anxiety of wearing it! You're constantly aware of every scuff. It's not a "beat-up" kind of sneaker at all. That changes how you move. Conversely, who should avoid the Dior AJ1? If you're looking for a comfortable, everyday Jordan 1, this ain't it. Also, if you're on a budget—obviously. It's a luxury good, not just a sneaker. Save your money for multiple other great releases instead of chasing this one grey/white unicorn. Who should "avoid" it? Anyone looking for everyday comfort or value. If you just love the Jordan 1 silhouette, a standard Retro High offers 95% of the look for a fraction of the cost. Don't go into debt for this. The "Dior Air Jordan 1" is a luxury purchase, through and through.
