At Art Basel Miami Beach 2019, Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Maison Dior and Dior Men, unveiled the Dior x Air Jordan 1 High OG sneaker. Only 1,000 pairs are said to have been produced, which will be available for purchase in selected Dior stores from April 2020, and with a price of around 2,000 euros, they are said to be the most expensive "air jordan" model to date!
Dior x Air Jordan 1 High OG are actually classic Nike Air Jordans gray and white sneakers, only this time they are made of fine Italian leather and decorated with Dior "branding". The brand logo appears in the famous Nike arrow, with a sign above it Air Dior, which is also on the left sole, while the right one has Dior lettering.
When designing the footwear, Jones drew inspiration from the Art Deco style from the 1930s and 1960s, and he decided to collaborate with the Nike brand because he enjoys the "mixing" of different worlds and ideas. With this, the two brands have created sneakers that represent fusing French haute couture with iconic American athletic footwear. Cooperation is timed to coincide with the outcome Dior's first men's collection in the USA and The 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan sneaker. Rapper Travis Scott was the first to wear these luxury sneakers.
