First off, the box is an event itself—super premium. Pulling them out, the craftsmanship is immediately obvious. The 'Dior Grey' leather is "buttery" smooth, and that monogram swoosh is insane. For $2,000, you're paying for that luxury feel. They're a piece of art, truly. Comparing it to other luxury collabs, the Dior Air Jordan 1 stands out for its restraint. It's not overly loud. The "Dior Grey" is perfect. My main con, besides price? You'll be paranoid wearing them. Every scuff will hurt. This isn't a shoe you beat up – it demands care. So, if you're rough on your kicks, look elsewhere. The colorway is its biggest strength—so easy to style. The grey is perfect. But let's talk cons: availability was crazy limited, and resale is astronomical. You're buying into an exclusive club. As a "wearable" shoe, it's fantastic. As a $2,000 investment... that's a personal call. For me, the experience of unboxing and wearing it is unique. First off, let's address the elephant in the room: the $2,000 USD retail. You're paying for the Dior name and insane craftsmanship. Unboxing, the attention to detail is everywhere. On foot, it's a standard Jordan 1 fit—a bit narrow, great ankle support. The look is "chef's kiss"—elevated but still a Jordan at heart. The pro is obviously the prestige and quality. The con? It's not a comfortable daily driver. This Dior Air Jordan 1 is for the fashion-forward sneakerhead or investor. If you're just getting into the game, start with a classic Retro High instead.
