FAQs

Can the collar be reattached if I cut it?

No, once the collar is cut, it cannot be reattached. The modification is permanent.

What does 'Prototype' refer to in the name?

The 'Prototype' name refers to the shoe's design concept, highlighting its customizable nature and the idea that it's a canvas for the wearer's creativity, much like a prototype.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype'?

The shoe features a combination of leather, multicolor leather overlays, and Durabuck for its construction.

When was the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' released?

The Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' was released in September 2021.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While based on an athletic shoe's heritage, the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and customization rather than high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the multicolor overlays?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaning brush. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh chemicals, as this could affect the colors and texture.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the collar cleanly

Use a sharp, precision craft knife or small, sharp scissors. Make slow, deliberate cuts. Consider practicing on a less visible area or using a template if unsure.

Color transfer from overlays

Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly before extensive wear, especially in humid conditions. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored materials until the colors are stable.

Uneven wear on leather

Follow the recommended cleaning and care instructions. Apply a leather protectant spray suitable for sneakers to help maintain the material's condition.

Creasing on the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Prototype' comes ready to wear as a high-top. To convert it to a low-top, carefully use sharp scissors or a craft knife to cut along the perforated line separating the collar from the main upper. Proceed with caution to ensure a clean cut.

Compatibility: This product is designed for adult males. It is compatible with standard clothing styles, excelling in casual and streetwear fashion.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning Overlays: For Durabuck and other overlay materials, use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush or a slightly damp cloth. Brush gently in one direction.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely.
  4. Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
