The cushioning is improved, yes, but it's still built on that classic - and slightly firm - AJ1 low platform. It's comfortable for all-day wear, but don't expect Zoom Air or React levels of squish. Just keeping it real for you guys. Unboxing this "Air Jordan 1 Low SE"... the quality is decent! I’m digging this color blocking. On foot, it’s light and looks great with jeans or shorts. Compared to some other Jordan models — it’s definitely more "lifestyle" than performance. Pro: super easy to style. Con: the ankle collar might feel a bit stiff at first. Worth it? For $140, yeah. Comparing it to other Jordans? As a "Low", it's obviously less restrictive than a high-top AJ1. For me, the "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" is a perfect spring/summer alternative. It lacks the ankle lockdown of the OG highs, but gains in everyday versatility. If you love the Jordan 1 silhouette but want something less bulky, this is a fantastic option from the Jordan series. Who should skip it? If you need maximum comfort for long walks or standing all day, look elsewhere. Also, if you're a purest who only loves the OG "Jordan 1 low" construction & silhouette, the SE's tweaks might not be for you. It's a contemporary interpretation, through and through.
