You're getting a noticeable upgrade for usually just a small price bump. I've handled both, and this "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" simply has a nicer hand-feel. It justifies its place in the lineup for sure. Alright, first impressions out of the box — this "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" ‘Sail & Black’ is clean. The materials feel nice for the $140 price, and the sail colorway is super versatile. Comparing it to a standard AJ1 Low... you can see the SE details make it pop a bit more. "Honestly", it's a great everyday shoe — but if you need crazy cushioning, look elsewhere. Comparing it to other Jordans... look, it’s an Air Jordan 1 Low SE, so it’s slimmer than a high-top, obviously. Compared to a standard Jordan 1 Low, the “SE” usually means some extra material or color detail. It’s more interesting than a plain pair but still super wearable. A great bridge between basic and loud. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 1 Low SE sneakers. The first thing I noticed unboxing them was the leather quality – "it's actually pretty nice for the price point of around $130 USD." The Shadow colorway is super clean, a real versatile look. Putting them on, the fit is standard AJ1 Low: snug, supportive, but nothing revolutionary in terms of cushioning. A solid, classic pick.
