Holding it, you feel the quality. But as a "sneaker" you wear... it's complicated. The pressure to keep it pristine is real. For me, it's a 10/10 for collection, maybe an 8/10 for actual wearability due to that mental tax. An absolute icon, but with very specific purpose. Now, a real con — besides the obvious price. It might be "too" nice. I’m hesitant to wear it hard. Also, the fit is a bit more structured & snug than a typical AJ1. If you have wider feet, this could be a problem. It’s not the most "comfort-first" shoe in the collection. On camera and in person, the details pop. The monogram on the lining, the icy outsole... it's all flawless. However, a potential con for some? It's almost "too" nice. I'm hesitant to crease that pristine leather! Compared to my other Jordan series retros, this feels like a display piece you occasionally wear. If you want a beater sneaker, this $2,000 USD "dior air jordan 1" is NOT it. It's for collectors who appreciate art. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's for the collector who views sneakers as art & has the means. It's for someone who wants the pinnacle of a collaboration & appreciates fine craftsmanship. If you've always wanted a "Dior Air Jordan 1" and can swing it without guilt, you will not be disappointed. It lives up to the hype in terms of quality and prestige.
