First impression out of the box? The quality is solid – really clean stitching and that classic AJ1 Low silhouette is just "chef's kiss". This “Black Cement” colorway is versatile, honestly. For around $120, it’s a solid entry into the Jordan series without breaking the bank right away. Now, a potential con – the comfort. If you need serious arch support or are used to super soft sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 Low SE might feel too stiff. It’s a flat, board-like feel. That’s just the design, but it’s worth noting! It breaks in, but never becomes a “comfort” shoe in the modern sense. So, who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's perfect for someone who wants a stylish, reliable daily sneaker from the Jordan series. If you love the AJ1 low look but want something a little different from the usual solid leather builds, this SE version is calling your name. It’s a great entry into the brand, or a fresh pick-up for a collector. On foot, the look is super versatile. I'm wearing them with some tapered jeans, and the low profile just works. The design details - like the textured Swoosh - add a subtle twist. Compared to a standard AJ1 Low, this SE feels a bit more… considered? It's a great blend of classic silhouette and modern, minimalist style.
