If you need plush, modern cushioning... look elsewhere. The footbed is firm. Also, some might find the ankle collar a "bit" stiff initially. It's not for "long", "long" walks where comfort is king. Know what you're buying: style & heritage over cloud-like comfort. Comparing it to other Jordans? It's definitely more affordable than most retros at $140. Versus an AJ1 High, you lose some ankle presence but gain everyday convenience. The SE (Special Edition) details here are subtle – just a refined material mix. If you want that iconic Jordan look without the high-top commitment, this Low SE is a strong option, for sure. 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. On feet, this "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" really shines. The design details — like the textured overlays — look even better in person and on camera. It's a versatile low-top that works with "so" many fits. Compared to a standard AJ1 Low, this "SE" (Special Edition) just has "more" going on visually. A definite pro is its style flexibility, from jeans to shorts.
