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. To wrap it up: The Air Jordan 1 Low SE is a dependable choice. It won’t blow your mind with tech, but it will look good with 90% of your wardrobe. In the Jordan series, it's a staple. Would I buy it? Yeah, for a clean, go-to low-top. But try it on first if comfort is your top priority! The "potential" con? That classic AJ1 "feel". 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. Alright, let’s unbox these "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" in the "Black Gold" colorway. First impression? The materials feel really solid - that textured leather and the smooth nubuck combo is "nice". For $145, this 'SE' or 'Special Edition' treatment definitely elevates the basic AJ1 Low look. The gold accents on the Swoosh and heel? They pop under the light, no doubt.
