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. 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. Let’s talk pros: The material mix is the star. It looks and feels more expensive than the price suggests. Durability seems great. Another pro? You stand out from the crowd wearing basic Lows. This "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" has character without being a wild colorway. It's a clean, head-turning daily driver. Who should skip it? If you need arch support or plush comfort, look elsewhere – maybe to the Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT series. The standard "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" prioritizes form over function. Also, if you want loud colors and attention, this 'Black and White' isn't for you. It’s a minimalist’s dream, not a statement piece.
