Everything we know about the Air Jordan I HIgh OG Dior Only 8,500 pairs available via a lottery in nine pop-ups worldwide
UPDATE 09/03/2020: Two possible details emerged online over the weekend regarding the upcoming release of the Air Jordan I High OG Dior. In a now-deleted Instagram Story by content creator and collector Jean Carlos, inside the shoe there was a patch that read "2058/8500". Later, anonymous sources close to the brand confirmed to the press that the production of Air Dior will be limited to only 8,500 pairs.
The presentation of these shoes marks a double event: the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1 and Dior's first seasonal parade in the United States. Kim Jones' intention was to bring together the best of two worlds, haute couture and high performance, aesthetics and innovation. Martin Lotti, Vice President of Design for Jordan, commented:
"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.”
In recent days there has been persistent news of a possible collaboration between Dior and Jordan, as reported on our Instagram account. Although it initially seemed that the collaboration might interest Nike, the recent history of Jordan's collaborations with brands such as Facetams and its approach to the new luxury street, have made it more likely that the two brands will approach each other, in a world that already contemplates a collaboration between Prada and adidas.
According to rumours, the two brands will collaborate in the creation of an Air Jordan 1 that will be produced in only 1000 units costing 2000€ per pair. If this news will be confirmed, it would be the most expensive pair of Air Jordan 1s ever. There still isn't any confirmation from the two brand s involved, but the release date should be scheduled for June 2020.
A collaboration between Dior and Nike had already been rumored two years ago, when the fashion house's ex-creative director, Kris van Assche, launched a teaser on Instagram. But the image was removed and there had been no news of a dialogue between the two brands since.
