Dior and Jordan Brand created one of the most hyped sneaker collaborations of all time in 2020 when they joined forces for the Air Jordan 1 “Air Dior.” An ultra-luxurious Air Jordan 1 with a clean color scheme, oblique jacquard Swoosh and eye-watering $2,000 USD price point (which seems like a bargain now as it regularly resells for four times that amount), the “Air Dior” was and is more than just a shoe. It’s a cultural touchpoint from a turbulent year, crafted artfully by Dior’s Kim Jones and Thibo Denis alongside the Jumpman’s design team. Now, in a surprising twist, the partners might be doing it even bigger in 2021: rumors of four more “Air Dior” colorways have begun to surface.
These speculations were kicked off by Urban Necessities founder Jaysee Lopez, who recently claimed that we’d see “Chicago” “Royal” and “Black/White” colorways in 2021. The flames of hype were fanned even higher when noted leak account Mr. Unloved 1s took to Twitter to expound on Lopez’s claims, saying that he’d also heard about the “Chicago” and “Royal” colorways but that there was no white/black pair, instead, an all white style, and that one of the three pairs would be women’s sizes.
