FAQs

Can I revert the shoe back to a high-top after cutting the collar?

No, once the collar is cut, it cannot be reattached to restore the high-top form.

What is the main benefit of the 'Prototype' design?

The main benefit is the ability to customize the shoe by detaching the collar, transforming it from a high-top to a low-top.

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

The shoe uses a white leather base with multi-color leather and Durabuck overlays.

When was the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' released?

It was released in September 2021.

How should I clean the multi-color overlays?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent color damage.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the 'Prototype' is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-performance athletic activities.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the collar cleanly

Use a sharp, fresh blade on a craft knife or high-quality scissors. Make multiple light passes rather than one forceful cut. Consider practicing on scrap material first.

Color transfer from overlays

This is a risk with multi-colored materials. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or apparel, especially when new or in wet conditions. Regular cleaning can help manage minor transfer.

Uneven wear on custom low-top

Ensure the cut was made cleanly. As with any footwear, rotating wear with other shoes can prolong their lifespan and maintain their appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond lacing. For customization, a sharp craft knife or sturdy scissors are recommended for cutting the collar along the perforated line. Proceed with caution and ensure a clean cut.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' is compatible with various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and tracksuits. It can be worn as a high-top or a custom low-top.
