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. Unboxing this felt like an event. Every detail, from the box to the dust bags, screams luxury. The shoe's profile? Iconic AJ1, but "elevated". Wearing the "Dior Air Jordan 1", you get looks—it’s that simple. The major plus is the confidence it gives you; it's a wearable trophy. The minus? The fear of damaging a $2,200 USD shoe is real. I'd recommend it only if you have the disposable income for art. Not for everyday errands. First impression on foot? You stand a little taller, both in height and confidence. The grey hue is perfect—not too loud, but it gets noticed. I love the woven "Air Dior" label on the tongue. However, a point of contention for purists might be the lack of a traditional Nike Air tongue tag. It's a full Dior reinterpretation. Personally, I think it works. Who is it for? Someone who wants the pinnacle of a Jordan 1 collaboration. Not for the budget-conscious. Putting these on... honestly, the fit is snug, almost like a regular Jordan 1 High. The insole has the co-branding, which is a nice touch. In terms of comfort, don't expect anything revolutionary—it's the same court-feel you know. The weight is standard. But when you look down, seeing that "Dior Air Jordan 1" on your feet? It's a different kind of confidence. The craftsmanship is impeccable, but the actual underfoot experience is familiar Jordan territory.
