today i'm going to be reviewing the air dior air jordan 1 high these right here have been
hyped up insanely we're going to talk about that in today's video and man i'm excited to open these
things up and finally check them out welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys

talk about this shoe bruh i've been waiting to get my hands on these for so long shout out to
wes for letting me borrow these for the review if you haven't already make sure you check out his
shop the link is down below in the description follow him on ig as well and if you want to
buy this exact pair of shoes right here they are available on his website so now let's crack these
things open starting with the box you have an all navy blue box with a nice mesh print all over that
you have your air dior just like the air jordan one low same exact thing but the box is just a
little bit bigger if you haven't seen that video make sure you go check out that review as well man
i don't even know which one i like most maybe we can do a comparison in another video looking at
the size tag it says men's shoe high retail 2200. there's a little magnet right here on the lid that
flips open then you have your all-over print your paper right here flips open four different ways
and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe so before i get into the video i want to show you
the alternate insoles that come with these as well all over print dior embossed gray leather insoles
fire you have an additional three bags right here with the extra pair of laces in a cell colorway
with a silver tip with the dior on those you got another one with the hang tag with the wings logo
and it says air dior on this as well and then in the final bag you have a jumpman logo like
you get on the air jordan ones from back in the day and then it has dior and grain on the back
of that so before we get into the review one shoe that i will be using in today's comparison
is going to be the chicago air jordan one og hi because a lot of the heritage came from this shoe
to create the new air jordan one dior that we have today so my first impressions of this shoe
bruh these things go crazy now i've seen the lows but the highs this is like on a whole nother level
right here again there's a lot of hype around the shoe but there are plenty of reasons as to why you
can justify the hype around a dope well-crafted sneaker like this this is probably one of the
most premium air jordans that we have ever seen to ever come out looking at the outsole you have
all over translucent outsole with a dr print underneath that here on the right foot and then
on the left foot you have the wings logo with the air dior underneath that all translucent as
well another big thing that i've talked about in the past was yellowing i hope these don't yellow
because i know a lot of people that have spent a lot of money on these and if they plan on keeping
these for the long haul i'ma feel real bad for them if the shoe starts to yellow that's kind of
what's making me sit back on the sideline a little bit to see what happens with these shoes if they
turn and age because that could potentially change the value but we'll talk about that later in the
video looking at the midsole we have an all-white midsole with a white stitch as well and going to
the upper the upper was originally inspired by the air jordan 1 chicago so when you see the two
shoes side by side right here you can see there's one big thing that is a big change and that's the
swoosh right they did change the placement of the swoosh make it a little bit bigger and go a little
bit deeper into that heel cuff right there on the back of the foot but besides that when it comes to
color blocking scheme it's essentially the same color blocking as the chicago all they did was
switch it to the classic dior color with that gray and if you see any articles or anything about the
inspiration behind it you'll notice that a lot of the guys have a lot of original air jordan ones in
their collections and they use that as a heritage in design inspiration behind this sneaker right
here so you have an all-over premium italian leather air jordan one upper you have a gray
leather with a white leather it's pretty stiff but it will wear in well if you do plan on rocking
this shoe a lot don't see too many people just like beating it up so i don't know how long it's
going to take them to wear it in and me personally i'd probably have these as a trophy item over like
a rocker in my collection but if i was able to find a used pair that would be very convenient
because then i could throw them in my rotation and they'd already be worn and i wouldn't be mad at
that because i didn't have to worry about un-dsm and devaluing them and all those different things
so one dope hit that i really like about this shoe as well is the dior hits around the shoe
so if you look at the air jordan wings logo that you typically get on the top right here
this one right here is stamped in but it has air dior on it just like you would see here on
the tongue it says dior air i think little details like that with a little leather tab right here and
everything like that those are the little things that can definitely elevate the value of a sneaker
and make a lot more people appreciate it when they see it in person another small difference that you
would see on these right here is around the front three eyelets this piece of leather is actually
not fully connected to the main seam line right here so you can actually lift it up a little bit
like you would typically lift on the wings right here they have the same thing with the wings at
the top so that's a dope little additional touch it's not fully flapping off but it is dope to see
the separation between the two premium leathers looking at the sock liner and insole you have
a gray sock liner with a gray insole a jumpman logo on one side dior on the other and then this
shoe is numbered as well number 537 out of 8500 pairs underneath the insole there's also a dope
touch where they went with the all-over print with the dior and the brown i think that's super dope
when you look at all the details and again the craftsmanship behind a premium shoe so just like
if you were to purchase a premium bag or whatever it may be from louis vuitton or chanel or whatever
it may be they come with a dough box and all these accessories and the story and the vibes and every
that's the same thing that you got right here it's just now a shoe and i think for them to
bring this to life and create an entire sneaker for two thousand dollars if you think about it
a duffel bag could be two thousand three thousand four thousand five thousand dollars depending on
what bag you get or whatever it may be so this is cool to say that you can actually wear it and you
know be able to walk around in it so as you guys can tell i love the sneaker i want to have it in
my collection i hope to get it someday i'm looking for a size 13 for a great price or a great trade
i'm very very patient though so don't be throwing me no crazy offers thinking i'm about to blow the
bag on a pair of shoes because i ain't the one so what do you guys think about this shoe drop
a comment down below in the comment section is it fire or is it trash this is what i always ask the
people on my ig story if you haven't already follow me on ig so you can participate in the
polls as well and this is what the result said 88 said fire 12 said trash and i can completely
understand there's a lot of hype around this shoe a lot of people like it i think the 12
is kind of in that realm of like it's overrated it's overpriced i get it i get it i get it but
if you start to actually see this shoe touch it hold it fill it in person and and think about
the heritage and everything behind the shoe and the story and the concept and everything that
they did with this i feel like the execution was like a hundred percent like they did a great job
and the simplicity behind the two brands and how they were able to bring things together with the
swoosh and the designs and just the concept and the promotion and everything behind it
i think they did a great job and i can completely understand why the majority of the people consider
this shoe as fire now let's talk about numbers when this shoe came out retail was twenty two
hundred dollars they were reselling for around fifteen thousand dollars the price started to
creep down it started to go down and go down and go down now they're worth roughly around eighty
five hundred bucks in the current market again i think that's overpriced i don't wanna pay eighty
five hundred dollars for a single pair of shoes i think this shoe is worth maybe around 4 000
at the most but that's my personal opinion and again my opinion doesn't matter when it comes to
the market but i do hope that the price continues to go down so that way i can find me a good size
13 for a good price or maybe even find a used pair for even better price so now my question to you is
what do you think about the price in the current market right now the original retail price the
original resale the value now will it go up later over time a lot of people ask me about the diors
do you think these are gonna go up over time and i think it's at a crazy price right now and it's
probably gonna continue to slide down this is a shoe that's not for your average consumer so you
have a very unique crowd of people that will buy this sneaker so i can't say it's the same trend
as a gr air jordan one you know that was 170 bucks retail and then it went up to 400 or 800 because
this falls into a different bracket you have a different group and a different demographic of
buyers so i think it's really going to be based on the hype that they create around that and not what
everybody else does just because the everybody else they're not going to be the ones that can
afford it or make those trades or even make the purchase of the shoe i'm not trying to talk bad
about anybody or anything like that but we do have to understand a shoe that is valued at eight or
ten thousand dollars not everybody is either able to afford it or just even thinks that it makes
sense to buy a shoe that's worth that much money i don't even think it's worth that much money and
i would never buy it for that much now don't get me wrong if somebody wants to buy it and i have it
i'ma sell it so overall let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section i hope you
guys enjoyed the review i'm excited to finally be able to see these touch them hold them and just
embrace the whole shoe and the design and the concept and everything behind it
i hope to get my hand on a pair someday shout out to wes for letting me borrow these for the review
if you guys want to see a comparison between the two drop a comment down below i'll let you
guys see the highs and the lows next to each other and then we can do a full comparison
between those two as well so my name is dj i'm signing out i gots to go i'm gone peace
