The biggest cop of 2020 was so haute, it came and went without ever hitting store floors.<\/p>\n
After the Air Jordan 1 OG Dior sneakers debuted during Diors pre-fall 2020 show in Miami in December, sneakerheads and industry insiders alike went into a sartorial tizzy about the first-ever streetwear-meets-luxury mashup from the storied couture house and Air Jordan.<\/p>\n
The collaboration celebrates the 35th anniversary of the release of the Air Jordan 1. The makings of that iconic pair are all there on the new one an 80s-inspired high-top silhouette, the Jumpman Wings logo, that signature swoosh while the hand-painted shade of Dior gray is a nod to the French labels signature hue (and a favorite of the founding couturier, Christian Dior).<\/p>\n
Originally scheduled to drop in the spring, the coronavirus pandemic caused a delayed release.<\/p>\n
On June 25, the public was able to register to shop the drop. According to a report from WWD, 5 million people signed up despite the production of only several thousand sneakers.<\/p>\n
With a retail price tag of $2,200 (the low-top version retails for $2,000), the limited-edition high top is now reselling on sites like StockX for over $14,000.<\/p>\n
Landing an actual pair is mission impossible, but a newly released video which taps into Dior Creative Director Kim Jones deep-rooted love of the Air Jordan offers swoon-worthy close-ups of this years most coveted sneaker.<\/p>\n
