However, the price—we're talking two grand—is a massive con for most people. It's a shoe for investors and ultra-enthusiasts. If you just want a great grey Jordan 1, save your money. But if you want a piece of history? This might be it. 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. Who is it "not" for? Anyone looking for a daily beater or max comfort. For $2,000 USD, you could get so many other amazing sneakers. If you're not into the luxury fashion angle, this won't make sense. It’s an investment and a display piece, first and foremost. After wearing them for a day, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the dior air jordan 1 is probably the most beautifully made sneaker I own. On the other, I'm constantly aware of them – every step feels precious. The sole is quite hard. It's not a "forget you're wearing them" kind of shoe. It's a piece you "feel" & "see". That's its appeal & its drawback, depending on what you're looking for.
