shout out to joe from west coast streetwear for letting me borrow this pair right here
i'm going to be unboxing the air jordan 1 low dior give you guys a comprehensive review
talk about price let you know what i think about it and see what you
think about it as well so let's go ahead and get into the video
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not
know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't already hit the subscribe
button hit the bell notification as well for every time i upload a new video and don't forget

on june 25th they did a raffle for this shoe around the world for all the dior stores and the
two closest stores to me was las vegas and la so i was ready to make a last minute trip if i won that
raffle the shoe was already going to be expensive but i was willing to pay a extra whatever amount
it cost just to get there to purchase the shoe because i knew at the end of the day it was worth
so much it would have been worth every single dollar so starting with the box we have an all
navy blue box with a nice little textured material all over it very premium something like you would
get on a nice designer bag box looking at the top we have an air jordan wings logo like we get for
all the air jordan ones but for this one in particular it says air dior instead of air jordan
super dope touch i like that for the collaboration this box comes with a magnetic flap right here on
the end of the box to open it up and looking at the size tag it says air jordan actually doesn't
even say air jordan at all it just says sneaker and men's retail two thousand dollars opening
up the box right here we have the paper with the all over dior print i don't see any jordan
jumpman logos or anything like that and then we got multiple layers typically always when you get
a designer shoe it has extra extra paper with it and then we got the shoe oh we got the shoe
so before i get into the shoe i want to talk about the accessories that come with it as well that way
you can get a glimpse of it you have an additional insole with the all over embossed dior print over
on the insole right here super clean with the light gray with the premium leather vibes on it
next you got these three little bags right here and they're all navy blue with the air dior print
on them as well with the wings logo and uh let's see what we got inside the first bag we have a
pair of alternate tan laces with a chrome tip and a dior on that as well next up in the second bag
we have a jumpman in chrome and then it has dior printed on the back of that as well everybody
remembers the iconic jumpman hang tag with the air jordan ones from back in the day so this is a dope
touch and in the third bag we have air dior wings logo like you see on the side of the foot another
wings logo right here so typically these are hang tags that go on the side of the foot right here
that hang off you can use this a key chain or a necklace or whatever you may want to use it as
but i think it's dope to have these additional in the pack as well finally you have two different
dust bags they're both obviously the same but they're one for each shoe and it says air dior
on these dust bags as well so let me open up one so you can see it that's upside down there we go
so now let's talk about this shoe first impressions when i see it
i like it it's premium it's nice everything about this shoe is it's there i see why the
shoe was two thousand dollars because they use premium italian leathers on it just like they
would on a bag or anything else that dior creates just by looking at the b-roll right there as you
can see the craftsmanship and the detail and all the stuff that went along with creating this shoe
individually they put a lot more effort into a shoe like this than you would typically get on a
gr sneaker starting with the outsole you have all translucent blue outsole i'm very fearful of this
turning yellow and maybe potentially depreciating the value of this sneaker later down the line we
will see though right underneath that you have a huge dior print here on the right foot and
then you have the air jordan well actually air dior wings logo underneath that on the left foot
working our way up to the midsole you have an all-white midsole with a white stitch as well
and then going to the upper they went with the upper on the color blocking style from the chicago
air jordan 1 they just decided to use their twist and instead of making it the chicago colors but
instead they went with the classic heritage colors of the dior gray and i think that's super dope how
they're able to combine two different classic heritage sneakers and just designs and companies
and brands and bring that into one and create something so simple so clean so unique so premium
so dope dope little touches everything about it that's why i really like this sneaker i feel like
there was a lot of effort and thought put into it and even though it maybe looks so simple and so
clean there's a lot of dope details when it comes to this shoe so when i'm touching and feeling this
leather it feels very very nice but it does feel very very stiff and typically that's something
that you'll get when you get a nice premium leather put on a shoe like this so when you
initially wear it it's probably going to be stiff but it's going to break in and then it's going
to wear very very well but people are probably not going to wear it that much because it's so
expensive so they typically turn this into like a trophy item instead of actually wearing the shoe
like they typically would on any other sneaker so when it comes to the cut of the shoe and the style
this is the og air jordan one low style not like the jordan one low which i've talked
about in other videos describing the difference between a jordan one low and a jordan one og low
the back tab and everything is a big indicator for the og low style and this one right here is super
dope because it has air dior printed on there as well instead of the air jordan so everything
around here has the air dior not air jordan the only thing that i see with jordan on this shoe
is the jumpman logo on one of the feet and then on the other wings logo but that still says dior on
that as well looking at the sockliner you have all gray sockliner another great insole like i
just talked about with the jumpman logo here on one side dior on the other and then looking at
the laces you have a gray kind of wax style lace and behind that you have a nice plush dior tongue
now this is a detail that i don't think a lot of people really see that often but it's very
very simple but very clean and i don't even know if the camera is going to be able to pick it up
all the way but this is a nice touch to the shoe i think the details when you actually see it in hand
are very very dope like i can see it in images i'm like oh that's cool but once you see it in
person you're like bro this is actually really fire another great touch is the dior air here
at the top instead of the nike air like we would typically see on air jordan 1. also there were 8
500 pairs of this sneaker made so each and every shoe was numbered and this one is number 6958
and there also is an additional insert right here typically like you see on the air jordan 11 so to
see that premium vibe coming to air jordan one it's actually pretty dope too because typically
you just get a cardboard insert when you're buying you know a regular release so at the
end of the day i would love to have this sneaker in my collection potentially even complete the
set with having the high and the low but i just personally don't think it's right for me to spend
that money on that shoe at this price that it is right now when these first came out retail
was two thousand dollars and people may have paid tax in other cities whatever it may be and then
the resale on this shoe in particular was close to ten thousand dollars that's a lot over the retail
value immediately after that people started to realize like man i can't even sell this shoe like
i got it but i don't even know how to sell it and a lot of people typically get exclusive shoes and
then they don't even know who to sell to or how to get that maximum amount of money out of it so they
start undercutting each other and driving that price down and typically that always happens when
it comes to a shoe like this so we saw the price go to around 6 500 just a little bit after the
release actually happened and a lot of people were shocked but i think that's something that's pretty
realistic just because it's a ten thousand dollar shoe and it's not even the best air jordan one
of all time like i never understood why this shoe was priced as basically the best air jordan one of
all time but it's not in my opinion so why would other shoes that are more rare or doper looking or
whatever be worth less than a shoe like this there was a lot of hype around it during the time of the
release there was a lot of hype for like over a year travis scott was wearing them there were so
many different factors that caused the price to drive up on a shoe like this i personally
think this shoe is worth maybe three or four thousand dollars i hope to get my pair for that
price someday you might think i'm crazy so if you look at current market price right now these are
selling for roughly 5 500 which is still a little bit lower than it was at that 6500 price point
but again i'm not trying to drop 5k on this shoe because i don't think it's worth 5k now don't get
me wrong if i would have got them for retail and somebody offered me 7 000 or 10 000 for the shoe
i probably would have had to sell them because i would have known i would end up finding another
pair down the road so what do you guys think about this shoe is it overpriced is it over hyped is it
just right is it undervalued let me know down below in the comment section also do you think
this shoe is fire or is it trash i would also like to hear what you guys have to say me personally
you know i think it's fire again i don't think it's the best air 21 colorway of all time
but it's up there and obviously everybody's going to say this is the one of the number one releases
this and the high top as the top releases of 2020. so i went to ig and i asked the people
the same thing all my story like i always do so if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig
so you can participate in any of the other polls that i always post on my story and this is what
the result says 77 percent of the people went with fire 23 of the people went with trash i completely
understand both sides a lot of people think well i can't say a lot of people because they're not
the majority but a good amount of people do think that the shoe is overrated it's overpriced it's
over hyped and then you got a lot of other people that are falling into the trap of the hype and
all these other things i don't know if i'm in the i'm like kind of in the middle i love it
i definitely think there's a lot of hype around it i don't want it so bad that i'm willing to spend
extra money just to have the shooter say that i have it and i have patience when it comes to that
but i can understand why there's a you know demand for it you know it's pretty limited
there's a lot of hype behind it the craftsmanship and everything behind it it makes sense like
they put great materials into it there's a great story there's a great concept you get a lot of
dope accessories and there's a great story to be like yeah there's only 8 500 pairs of this shoe
i'm one of the people that have them i get it i get it i get it so hopefully one day i can get
these in my collection if you got these on the release drop a comment down below if you want to
