Ben Affleck and his son Samuel recently attended the Got Sole sneaker convention in Los Angeles on March 1, where they both showed interest in a pair of limited-edition sneakers. The Air Jordan 1 High OG Dior sneakers, a collaboration between Nike and Dior, were the center of attention for the Afflecks. Valued at $6,000, these high-end sneakers captured the imagination of young Samuel, who expressed his admiration for the fashionable footwear.
At the convention, Ben Affleck remarked on the hefty price tag of the Dior sneakers, momentarily lightening the conversation with a dose of humor.
