The attention to detail (like the special laces and box) is unmatched. The downside? That ultra-premium leather might crease in a way that feels more dramatic than on your standard pair. Comparing this to a standard retro "Jordan 1" is almost unfair. It's like comparing a regular suit to a bespoke one. The shape is slightly refined, the materials are in another universe, & the craftsmanship is next-level. The $2200 USD price tag? That's the elephant in the room. You're paying for the collaboration, the name, & the extreme scarcity. As a "shoe", it's a masterpiece. As a purchase? It's complex. 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. Major "pro"? The unparalleled craftsmanship. Every single detail is perfect, from the leather lining to the special box. It’s the pinnacle of a sneaker collaboration. Wearing it, you feel that exclusivity. The "Dior x Jordan" project truly delivered a grail.
