The mesh and leather combo is executed well, and it doesn't feel cheap. It’s a step up from a GR (General Release) without stepping into crazy "collab" territory. For a Jordan Brand offering, that's a win in my book. Alright, let's unbox these Air Jordan 1 Low SE 'UNC' shoes, guys. First impression? That University Blue color is just "so" clean in hand. The leather quality on this 'SE' version feels pretty standard, but the color-blocking is classic Jordan 1. For $115, it's a solid start. The shape looks good right out of the box, which is always a plus. Opening the box, my first impression was how clean the silhouette is. This 'SE' version has some subtle texture differences – I mean, it's not your basic, all-leather AJ1 Low. The contrast is really sharp in person. For $110, you're getting a shoe that instantly looks good, no breaking-in required. Just a classic Jordan 1 Low SE profile, done right. Now, a real talk con: If you need plush cushioning for all-day wear, look elsewhere. The "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" platform is firm. Also, the $145 price point might be a hurdle for some, considering you can get other sneakers with more tech for similar money. It's an investment in style over pure performance tech.
