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. Comparing it to other Jordans... it’s lighter and more low-profile than a high-top, obviously. Versus something like a Jordan 1 Mid, the quality on this ‘SE’ feels a step up in my hands. The silhouette is just so iconic. For the price point ($115), you're getting that iconic look with some special ‘SE’ detailing. It's a strong offering in the low-top game. Just opened the box – the "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" looks even better in hand. The design is crisp. Walking in them feels natural; the outsole is flexible. A clear advantage is its versatility. However, the toe box leather can crease noticeably – that's just the nature of this model. If you're okay with that "lived-in" look, you'll love these. The biggest pro here is the styling, hands down. This specific colorway - with its muted tones - is incredibly easy to match. The quality of the suede is nice for the price point. However, the tongue is on the thinner side; it doesn't have that plush feel some might want. It's a trade-off for that sleek look.
