I appreciate that this is by far the most honest review of these I've seen so far. Enough time has passed that the hype has kind of died down and you're able to mention that it's not much of a step up from a regular Jordan 1 in terms of quality and build or even presentation and the price is primarily driven by hype I think even the retail price is only justified by the hype.
What I would do is find something like a brightly coloured scrap of felt or some other kinda thick cloth, and when closing the box, stuff it under the flap where the magnet is, to slightly reduce the strength of the magnets hold and also give you a quick visual clue about which side opens.
Fun fact: because of Dior's exclusivity, 5000 of the pairs of these shoes went DIRECTLY to top level Dior clients. So really only 8000 or so were made availible to the public.
I don't blame you but I guarantee you anyone looking down (99.8%) at your shoes that know about these already assume they are fake. Even if they were real they would assume it, but that's why I would never buy the real and wear them. Actually for that reason i wouldn't wear these as UAs But so what, rock them no matter what others think.
Didn’t he charge him the StockX cash out? I would also rather sell my sneakers to literally any human for the StockX cash out price than giving StockX money for my own sneakers.
@@xers6704 again, 1st world psychology. do you really think nike and dior would use $2,000 worth of materials for this shoe? the profit margins are insane, even accounting for the extra labor that goes into handcrafting the shoes.
I was able to get the lows for retail. didn’t even want them and definitely didn’t think I would get selected when I put my name in the drawing but when I was picked I couldn’t not buy them. I’m glad I did because I love them now.
Watched a video of these things being ran over by heavy machinery multiple times and still were held together. Shows you the quality of these shoes which I at first was skeptical on.
i mean...really ? these are your grails , i mean , tastes aren't discussed but , they are an overhyped pair of grey jordans , with a better quality leather and a gigantic swoosh like-pretty damn sure there are more interesting and over all cooler sneakers out there
Well done on your W man, whatever anyone’s opinion is on this shoe, what you have right there is a huge investment and no one has to even get the hype😊.
Shoe : 2$ Dior sign : 9998$ I really understand people that buy reps , they look so similar nowadays that you can get the same reactions without anyone knowing
That is really not how it works. `you could probably get a pair of shoes for 500 minimum, if it was factory made and the designer was barely payed. `this shoe is handmade, so for each shoe an artisan needs to be payed to stitch each one the exact same way each time. Is it worth 2k, yes, but is it worth 12k, yeah no not at all. `but to say it is worth 2 dollars and only costs a lot because of the DIOR logo is so wrong its funny. Some guy literally ran them mud and compessed them with heavy machinery and it was barely damaged. For the 2 dollars it apparently cost, thats impressive.
With all due respect, because I’m a fan of your videos and series. No sneaker is worth the price of a car. Especially if you’ll never wear it because you paid so much money that even “trying it on” starts to depreciate the value nowadays. I like the review. I’ve seen UA reviews that look exactly the same… don’t know…
a sneaker is worth the price of a car only beacause of the exclusivity that it is 1 of only x made worldwide . And the materials donot cost even 200$ to make true . But you''re paying for the fact that you own something not everyone has , neither can everyone afford . Let me take the example of autograph . An autograph prolly takes 30 cents to make ... just a pen and paper but it is sold for thousands of dollars only because of the fact that it is exclusive and not everyone can get that easily . It is 1 of 200 autographs worldwide given by that celeb . You are paying for the exclusivity ... Understood ???
@Scott Summers well it's your money your choice .Plus i can't stopp you from spending it . But just to tell you , if you wear reps of dior j1 high ... people prolly know you wear reps .. cause they know what you do for a living and how much you earn ... obviously a man earning 2-3k a month wouldnt spend 9k on a pair of shoes ... it is just out of his reach . But, if surprisinlgy ... you're a rich man and still you bought reps , then good for you :D
@@jai215 I agree with you. Even if you get the real shoes people will still think they’re reps because no one would buy shoes that costs as much as a car. No point in getting these kicks imo, not even the reps
@@jerryc12 bro everyone knows who can afford a real and who can't .... a normal person making 2 grand a month obviously can't buy these ... people around you know what you do for a living and that if you can afford one .
Thank you for the best review there is of these! Would you compare them to the High 85 releases? Or... dare I say... the premium reps of the Air Dior High? :O
Bru it’s not that confusing lol it’s literally the front of the box just open the front side and not the back. If the logo is upside down you know it’s the wrong side…
I wish Jordan brand would just give us a normal sneaker heads a premium leather/suede materials AJ1 or any Jordan retro for that matter. Maybe bring back the bin23 collection
Dior calf leather? So they tanned the leather in house? I don't know about their experience in tanning leathers but I would rather trust leathers produced by distinguished leather tanneries with a history and experience in tanning leathers than in house.
Congrats on this cop. I was thinking of the UA Route for $500.00 though I changed my mind; thinking it wouldn't be worth walking home from the Subway in socks, if robbers couldn't tell/care about the difference.
$500for UA is over priced. Should be less than $200 for some top of the line. However, you are probably right about being robbed if you take the subway. It's not worth it. And even worst I wouldn't doubt someone has been killed for a fake Rolex.
@@endless_waltz18 You guys are shopping in wrong spot. Or some Chinese is getting rich selling them at that price. But when you don't know you don't know.
@@endless_waltz18 I've got the dior top of the line even with the og box for less than $130 1:1 but then again I get several pairs of other shoes but the price of $250 still sounds way over priced. But if you're happy with the price it doesn't matter:)
He’ll probably cash in on the video and sell em afterwards. If you consider the discount he got, he’ll probably make some nice profit selling this pair. This is just a cash grab
I've actually got these from harrodds in London and I've had mine for a while but their not worth it I mean it's not every day wear and for the price I should be floating
This may be an unpopular opinion but i hate high fashion collaborating with sneakers. Sneakers are supposed to represent the street culture and tell stories. Brands like Dior or Gucci collabing with Jordan or Adidas for example are just cashing in on already popular models, charging way more than they should just for having their little brand on them. They leech off sneaker culture
man this thing costs 15-20$ to produce and is maybe worth 150$ everthing above that is part of the sneaker bubble. resellers are the pestilence...no matter if its about jordan shoesm rolex watches or rare vinyls
With it being hand made in Italy and they way Dior with throw out tons of leather to find the perfect cut for there items. The labor it takes to hand make a shoe like this and they only use the top leather worker in county atleast getting payed $40hr and the shoes taking atleast 5 hours to make on top of the materials, I would say together it probably costed them $400 to make the shoe and the accessories. Still 100% over priced
I think these are cool in a sense, but honestly do not think they look good. I just want Nike to put out a Jordan 1 high that’s all white with a black swoosh again like, why does Jordan brand just refuse to put out simple clean colorways
good pick way better than those ugly back to future boots !!! u really need to get a pair of the dior lows aswell now as they will b worth more than the highs in the future ! & cause there cheaper people will wear them more which will bring DS numbers down low ! could take 5-10 years but u wait and see, and if u insure your collection than u can’t lose !!!
Seth can never keep his story straight with these sneakers. Claims he spent $8000 dollars, only spent $7500. Claims he used $20 to buy the sneakers but literally sold himself a bunch of sneakers including the kanye's to make the video. Claims this shoe is worth $10,000 but several times admits it's worth ~$9000.
Ever heard of a shifting market? Like in stock market where you see Apple stock is 145 on one month then month later 125? Heard of rounding numbers up? I'll give you the 20 dollar huckster stuff though.
Tbh even though the leather might be brilliant etc they just look super boring. It's a grey J1 with a bit of fabric on the side, as someone else said on here Union did the J1 far better and even Off-White imo. Hope you can sell them on. Also you bought them for $7.5k not $10k and from a friend, was a bit of a lame end to the series.
Nobody complains about luxury handbag prices tho. This how luxury shit works. Anybody still confused why it’s a $2000 shoe is just ignorant. Don’t slander this beauty by associating it with kiddie hype
@SethFowler Are you absolutely, 100% positive they're real? Because to my knowledge the wings logo is not supposed to be glossy, it is supposed to be matte. I have a high end fake pair and they have glossy wings logos, it was literally the first thing I noticed when I opened the box. The wings logos also look slightly too small on your pair compared to others I've seen. This isn't a joke or a meme, legitimately you should get someone who seriously knows their shit to look at these.
