The cushioning is improved, yes, but it's still built on that classic - and slightly firm - AJ1 low platform. It's comfortable for all-day wear, but don't expect Zoom Air or React levels of squish. Just keeping it real for you guys. Final verdict? For me, the Air Jordan 1 Low SE is a recommend. It’s a classic, wearable sneaker that gets the fundamentals right. You're paying for the iconic style and versatility. Just go in knowing the comfort is classic, not revolutionary. A solid 7.5/10 for daily wear. In hand, the leather has a decent grain. It's not ultra-premium, but it's better than some GR releases. The overall construction feels sturdy. Unboxing this "air jordan 1 low se", I wasn't blown away, but I was pleasantly satisfied. It's exactly what I expected—and sometimes, that's perfect. On feet, this "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" really shines. The design details — like the textured overlays — look even better in person and on camera. It's a versatile low-top that works with "so" many fits. Compared to a standard AJ1 Low, this "SE" (Special Edition) just has "more" going on visually. A definite pro is its style flexibility, from jeans to shorts.
