About Air Jordan 1 Low SE Men’s

The Air Jordan 1 Low’s were released in 1985, in parallel to the release of the Air Jordan 1 Highs. The Air Jordan 1 Lows were the first low top signature sneaker that were made by Nike under Michael Jordan’s brand. The low’s were released to be more of a relaxed vibe vs. the intense in game Air Jordan 1 Highs. Designed by Peter Moore (also the creator of the Nike Dunks), the Air Jordan 1 Low’s have always been one of the most popular pair under the Jordan Brand umbrella.

Why You Should Buy Air Jordan 1 Low SE Shoe

If you’re looking for a higher end sneaker that will anchor the top of your collection, the Air Jordan 1 Low SE’s are a good choice. The leather and materials are premium which make for a lavish fit. The Air Jordan 1’s can transition nicely from work to a night out so they can mold to any situation. They’re also a very trendy and stylish shoe that can make any outfit stand out and pop.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy Air Jordan 1 Low SE Shoe

They can be pricier than many of the shoes we’ve reviewed. Expect to pay anywhere from $90-120 for originals and special editions. Certain drops may be a bit more expensive due to exclusivity. The Air Jordan 1 Low SE’s are more of an athletic/classic looking shoe that will draw attention. They’ll also require more upkeep to keep fresh. So if thats not your thing, I wouldn’t recommend buying.

Final Suggestions

Air Jordan 1 Low SE for the Office: Recommend. Every office is different but if sneakers are ok’ed, these shoes are a statement piece. Any time you wear Jordan’s you’ll get some looks but adding them to a casual office fit will make them pop and stand out even more.

Air Jordan 1 Low SE for Casual Setting: Highly recommend. Fantastic choice with jeans of any style and fit. As noted above, be careful where you go with these. To keep fresh you’ll need to clean constantly and watch where you step.

Air Jordan 1 Low SE for Lounging: Highly recommend. Goes great with joggers and sweats of any style, skinny or baggy. The wide collar gives you flexibility with any style.
