Dior air jordan 1 : Comparing it directly to my other Jordan 1s [mrlezut9]

.. wow. The materials on the Dior Air Jordan 1 are just on another planet. The construction feels more precise, heavier in a good way. But that insane price? It makes it a display piece, not an everyday beater. It's for the collector who wants the pinnacle of a collaboration. Opening the box, the smell of premium leather hits you. This isn't your average retro. The "Dior x Air Jordan 1" collaboration is heavy—in quality, not weight. On foot, it's stiff like all 1s, but you're paying for that iconic silhouette reimagined. The grey suede and white paneling look even better in motion. Pro: The materials justify (some of) the $2,000 cost. Con: You'll be paranoid wearing them. It's perfect for luxury fashion fans, but terrible as a daily beater. A true showpiece. Sizing up: TTS for me. The "Dior Air Jordan 1" 's upper is so premium, it feels substantial—not bulky, just quality. The insole has the co-branded logo, a nice detail. Walking, you get that familiar Jordan 1 feel, maybe a bit stiffer. The biggest advantage? Unmatched prestige & resale value (if that's your thing). The disadvantage? The fear of ruining a $2,000 USD masterpiece! Perfect for investors and luxury enthusiasts. Terrible for someone who just wants to wear kicks without worry. Putting them on... wow. The fit is surprisingly "structured" and secure. It's not a super-soft, pillow-like feel—it's more of a premium, firm hug. Compared to my other "Jordan" 1s, the interior lining and padded collar are noticeably plusher. Walking around, you're very aware of the "weight" of the craftsmanship, both literally and figuratively. They feel substantial, not bulky. A definite step up in materials from the general release Jordan 1 High.
