The heel collar can be a bit stiff initially, and - as I mentioned - the cushioning isn't super soft. If you're used to Ultra Boosts or React foam, this will feel very different (and firmer). It's not a "comfort-first" performance shoe; it's a style-first icon. That's just the nature of the AJ1 design, honestly. Final verdict? I'm keeping these in my rotation. The pros — style, versatility, classic look — outweigh the cons for my needs. The Air Jordan 1 Low SE gets a thumbs up from me for casual wearers. Just go in knowing it’s about style, not supreme comfort. On feet, the comfort is... well, it's a Jordan 1 Low. Don't expect crazy cushioning – it's a flat, stable feel, which I personally like for casual wear. The materials on this "SE" version don't feel stiff at all, though. The break-in period is minimal. If you want a plush, ultra-comfy shoe – hey, this might not be for you. But for style? It's a winner. Here’s a real pro for daily wear: the weight. These are super light! The "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" is effortless to just throw on and go. Compared to bulkier sneakers, that’s a huge plus. However – and this is key – the break-in period is real. The heel can be stiff at first. So, not the best for a long day of walking right out of the box.
