The silhouette is iconic — you can't go wrong. It feels... familiar, you know? Not the most comfortable shoe in my rotation, but one of the best-looking. If you're new to Jordans, this is a great start. If you're all about max comfort tech — "maybe" skip this one. Just being real! Alright, so I just got the "new" "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" in the "Denim and Gum" colorway, and my "first" impression? The materials are actually pretty cool. You've got this nice "textured" denim on the uppers. It's a clean look, not your typical leather. For a Jordan 1, at around $120 USD, it feels solid in hand. The shape looks good right out of the box, honestly. Let's talk looks on foot. This SE model – with its slightly different materials and color blocking – pops just enough without being too loud. It pairs so easily with jeans or shorts. I think the design team did a good job modernizing the look "just a bit". Compared to a standard AJ1 Low, this Air Jordan 1 Low SE feels a tad more contemporary, which I appreciate. Who should skip it? If you need arch support or a super soft ride, this isn't your shoe. Also, if you already own multiple black/white/grey low-tops, this might feel redundant — though the SE details are a nice change. And for hardcore collectors only chasing OG colorways? This might not move the needle. It's a fantastic "daily wear" shoe, not necessarily a grail.
