The high top Air Dior features a white and wolf grey upper. The swoosh this time comes with the Dior oblique all over it. The wings logo on the collar replaces Air Jordan with Air Dior! We can also find the Wing and Dior brandings underneath the translucent outsoles. Air Jordan low features pretty much the same details with the difference being the Wings logo on the heels.
Only 8,500 pairs of Jordan 1 High were available, tributing the release of the silhouette in 1985. On the other hand, 4,700 pairs of lows dropped as a tribute to the date Dior was founded! So that makes a total of around 13,000. However, 5,000 pairs were distributed to Dior’s top client. And if we do the math, only 8,000 pairs are left for the rest of the world!
The Air Dior Jordan 1s low cost $2000(1,50,755 Indian Rupees) and the highs cost $2200 (1,65,830 Indian Rupees). The purchase isn’t your usual online cop or store pickup. There was a whole process to pick up your pair of Jordans! Dior x Jordan set up a whole microsite for people to register. Once you register, you could choose one pair (high or low) and one pick up boutique. The website worked on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, the surprise was that 5 MILLION people registered to buy the 8,000 pairs!
Air Dior High currently resells between $16,000 and $25,000! Meanwhile, the low top’s resale values go somewhere between $11,000 and $25,000. That’s an all-time high for a low top Air Jordan 1!
