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. Let's talk on-feet feel. Slipping into the "Dior x Air Jordan 1", the immediate thing is the fit—it's snug, almost like a luxury shoe. The materials don't have much give, so I'd say go true to size. Comfort? It's a Jordan 1, so don't expect cloud-like cushioning. The weight is standard, but the premium build makes it feel substantial. It’s a "statement" piece for sure, not necessarily your most comfortable sneaker. Worth it for the flex? That's your call. Opening the box, the smell of premium leather hits you. This isn't your average retro. The "Dior x Air Jordan 1" collaboration is heavy—in quality, not weight. On foot, it's stiff like all 1s, but you're paying for that iconic silhouette reimagined. The grey suede and white paneling look even better in motion. Pro: The materials justify (some of) the $2,000 cost. Con: You'll be paranoid wearing them. It's perfect for luxury fashion fans, but terrible as a daily beater. A true showpiece. Is it worth it? Honestly... that's "entirely" subjective. As a "Jordan" collab, it's the pinnacle. You're paying for the Dior name, the insane materials, and the legacy. On pure "sneaker value," no shoe is worth two grand. But as an "experience" and a trophy piece? For some, absolutely. If you have the means and this grail speaks to you, I get it. If you're budget-conscious, there are incredible Jordan 1s for a fraction of the price.
