Full details
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Prototype is designed for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors who value versatility and a customizable aesthetic in their footwear. Its standout benefit is the innovative perforated collar line, which allows wearers to convert the shoe from a high-top to a low-top silhouette with a clean cut, offering two distinct looks in one pair. While this DIY feature provides significant creative freedom, it is important to note that the modification is permanent and requires precision to ensure the desired results.

FAQs
Is the collar modification reversible?
No, once you cut along the perforated line to turn the shoe into a low-top, the modification is permanent.
What is the best way to cut the collar?
Use a sharp pair of fabric scissors or a precision hobby knife, following the perforated line slowly to ensure a clean, even edge.
Does the leather require conditioning?
Applying a light leather conditioner occasionally can help maintain the suppleness of the material and prevent cracking.
Can these be worn for athletic sports?
While based on a performance basketball shoe, this model is intended primarily for lifestyle and casual use.
How should I store these to keep them white?
Keep them in a moisture-free environment, ideally in the original box with silica gel packets to prevent humidity damage and yellowing.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box during use
Use sneaker shields or shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape of the leather upper.
Difficulty cleaning white leather surfaces
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth; avoid rough scrubbers that may damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To convert the sneaker, carefully follow the perforated guide line around the ankle collar using a sharp, steady blade or scissors. Ensure you are committed to the change as the material cannot be reattached once removed. Regarding care, use a soft-bristled brush and mild cleaning solution designed for leather to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing over time.
