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. On foot, the Air Jordan 1 Low SE is exactly what you’d expect: classic. The fit is true-to-size for me, with a snug—not tight—feel in the forefoot. Honestly, it’s not a "comfort" shoe by modern standards, but for casual wear? Perfectly fine. It’s that timeless, low-profile silhouette we all know, just in a fresh SE makeup. Comparing it to my other Jordan 1 Lows, this 'SE' stands out. The craftsmanship feels a notch better – cleaner stitching, more deliberate material choices. It doesn't feel like "just another" color-drop. Wearing them out, I got a few compliments... which "always" feels good! The silhouette is just so proven, man. To wrap it up: The "Air Jordan 1 Low SE" in "Sanddrift" delivers. Good materials, classic AJ1 Low comfort (or lack thereof – you know the deal), and a killer colorway. It's a sneaker you'll reach for often. Not every release needs to be crazy – sometimes, a well-done, versatile low-top is exactly what you need. This is one of those times. Thumbs up from me.
