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. 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. On the flip side, who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize max cushioning above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you only collect the most iconic OG Jordan colorways, this SE (Special Edition) might not hit that mark for you. It's more of a modern, lifestyle take on the classic. Who should probably pass? Hardcore comfort seekers, for sure. Also, if you want maximal cushioning for all-day standing, look elsewhere. And if you're only into the latest tech or ultra-hyped collabs, the basic Air Jordan 1 Low SE might seem too simple. It's a foundational piece, not the main event.
