It's a flat, stable feel (great for all-day wear). The SE version seems to have a slightly softer insole? Not a huge difference though. Honestly, for casual use, it's perfect. It doesn't have crazy cushioning, but that's the classic AJ1 DNA. I like the secure heel lockdown on this pair. 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. Who should "skip" it? If you "prioritize" advanced comfort tech above all, this isn't your shoe. Also, if you're a "purist" who only loves the OG high-top silhouette, the lows might not do it for you. For "around $120 USD", there are more "cushioned" options, but "fewer" with this level of iconic style. Alright, let's unbox these. First impression? This "Sanddrift / Light Bordeaux" colorway on the "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" is actually way nicer in-hand. The materials – a mix of smooth and textured leather – feel solid for the $135 price point. The shape is clean, classic Jordan 1 Low. It's a really versatile look, not too loud but definitely not boring. Excited to put these on foot.
