The status is undeniable; it's the ultimate grail for many. The collaboration / between Dior and Jordan is executed flawlessly. Cons? The obvious one – the $2,000 USD price tag is astronomical. Also, that stiff, premium leather needs a serious break-in period for real comfort. It's not a "ready-for-a-long-day" shoe right out of the box. Alright, let's get into it. Opening the box for this Dior Air Jordan 1 High OG… the first thing you notice is "impeccable" craftsmanship. That Italian leather? Unreal. The "Air Dior" branding and the subtle monogram… it just screams luxury. It's a full-on "elevation" of the classic AJ1 silhouette. At $2,000 USD, the presentation alone sets a new bar for the Jordan series. Sizing and fit check: I went true to size, and it's perfect. The materials mold to your foot nicely. "But"... the ankle collar is stiffer than a typical AJ1 at first. It requires a short break-in period. Once it does, the lockdown is secure. If you have wider feet, you "might" want to consider that. Overall, the "Dior Air Jordan" 1 is built for a precise, premium fit. On-feet comfort update: After a few hours, they're... okay. The ankle collar is padded nicely, but the toe box is unforgiving. You feel every step of that pristine Italian craftsmanship, literally. For a "Dior Air Jordan 1", the experience is more about the "look" than the feel. I'd rate the comfort a 6/10. It's a trade-off you have to accept with this particular model.
