After getting a sneak peek earlier this week, we're now getting up close and personal with the Dior x Air Jordan 1 High. A sneaker that completely broke the internet, it was revealed at Dior Men’s pre-Fall 2020 and it's set to be one of the most exclusive sneakers ever made.
Made in Italy, the AJ1 is painted in an ultra clean grey and white colour palette. Crafted from luxurious calf leather, a lacy black Swoosh shoots across the lateral and medial side panels, inspired by the French luxury fashion house's own B23 High-Top, and along the ankle, the legendary winged basketball is debossed with "AIR DIOR", taking the collaboration to an entirely new level.
In a statement, Jordan Brand VP of Design Martin Lotti explained:
Every collaboration we do starts from a genuine connection and desire to expand the dimensions of each brand through creativity and design innovation. Our partnership with Maison Dior will offer a new look into the style of basketball and blend high-end streetwear with luxury fashion. We will pay homage to both brands’ rich iconography and draw inspiration from our heritage.
Set to go on sale globally on April 2020, the Dior x Air Jordan 1 High will retail for $2,000 and according to rumours, will be limited to just 1,000 pairs. If you're determined to cop next spring, make sure you keep it locked at The Sole Supplier and we'll keep you updated with more release info as it develops!
