It’s a flat, firm ride — classic for this silhouette. The Air Jordan 1 Low SE needs a short break-in. But as a style piece? It's top-tier. I’d recommend it more for fashion than for performance, honestly. Let's talk value. At $115 USD, the Air Jordan 1 Low SE sits at a decent entry point. You're getting the Jordan brand cachet without a crazy resale price (for this colorway, at least). Is it a must-have? Not necessarily. But it's a reliable, stylish option if you dig the palette. Think of it as a solid foundation piece for your sneaker wardrobe. Conversely, the Air Jordan 1 Low SE might "not" be for you if comfort is your #1 priority. The footbed is firm. Also, if you prefer bold, loud statement shoes, this 'Black Olive' is a bit more subdued. It’s a strength for many, but a potential downside for others seeking maximum attention. Now, a potential con? The break-in period. 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.
