The leather has a nice sheen to it. Putting them on... yeah, it’s a break-in period. They’re not uncomfortable, just firm. Compared to some retro Jordans, this low-top version is arguably more practical for daily life. Pro: Timeless design that always gets compliments. Con: The outsole traction isn't the greatest on wet surfaces. For $100-$120, it’s a fair price for a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear daily. Let's talk about this "Air Jordan 1 Low" SE with the woven Swoosh. Right out of the box, you notice the unique texture - it's a nice detail. Sliding them on, the fit is standard. They're definitely a head-turner. The upper feels a bit more flexible than the usual all-leather pair. Advantage: stands out in a crowd. Disadvantage: might be harder to style for some. Priced at $125, it's for the person who already has a few basic Lows and wants something with a twist. Simple as that. On the flip side, who should "maybe" skip? If you need ultimate comfort for standing all day – like, you're a server or a nurse – there are better, more cushioned options. Also, hardcore ballers looking for a performance low-top: this isn't it. The traction and support are fine for casual use, but for serious hoops? Look at more modern Jordan lows built for that. Walking around in these 'Lows', I appreciate the freedom. After wearing highs all week, switching to these feels liberating. The heel cushioning is decent, but don't expect 'Zoom' levels of bounce – it's a classic, firm feel. The major "pro" is the style-to-comfort ratio. The main "con"? Maybe the lack of premium materials on general releases. Still, a great everyday shoe.
