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. Alright, so I just got the "new" "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" in the "Denim and Gum" colorway, and my "first" impression? The materials are actually pretty cool. You've got this nice "textured" denim on the uppers. It's a clean look, not your typical leather. For a Jordan 1, at around $120 USD, it feels solid in hand. The shape looks good right out of the box, honestly. In summary: The Air Jordan 1 Low 'Black Olive' SE is a win. Pros: iconic look, premium materials for the price, ultra-versatile. Cons: break-in period, not for performance. I’d say cop if you want a dependable, stylish low-top. Skip if you live in ultra-boosts. That’s my genuine, on-feet review! The biggest pro for me is the versatility. This shoe, especially in a neutral colorway, goes with literally everything in my wardrobe. It's a true staple. The construction feels sturdy for the $120 USD price tag – no major complaints on my pair. The Air Jordan 1 Low SE is just a reliable, good-looking sneaker.
