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. So, who's this for? If you love classic silhouettes & want a wearable, everyday Jordan – this "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" is a perfect match. Great for beginners to the series or anyone wanting a low-top option. At ~$120 USD, it's a reasonable sneaker investment. I'd recommend it for casual wearers, not for basketball or long walks where you'd need more support. After wearing them for a bit, I appreciate the simplicity. The leather cleans easily, the outsole seems durable. For $110 USD, you're getting a recognizable silhouette that’s built well enough. It’s not the most exciting shoe in the world, but the Air Jordan 1 Low SE is reliably cool. That counts for a lot. Final thoughts on the Air Jordan 1 Low SE: it's a classic for a reason. You're buying into the Jordan legacy with a low-top, easy-to-wear format. Are they the most comfortable shoes I own? Not at all. But do I grab them constantly for their looks? Absolutely. Recommend them for casual wearers and sneaker fans. Skip them if cushioning is your #1 priority. Solid shoe.
