FAQs

Can the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' be converted back to a high-top after cutting?

No, once the collar is cut, the modification is permanent and cannot be reversed to a high-top.

What is the best way to cut the collar?

Use a very sharp craft knife or precision scissors and carefully follow the pre-perforated line. Take your time for a clean cut.

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

The shoe features a white leather base with multicolor leather and Durabuck overlays.

What is the SKU for this shoe?

The SKU is DC6515-100.

When was the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' released?

It was released on September 24, 2021.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While based on a performance shoe, the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and customization, not for intense athletic activities.

What does 'DIY appeal' mean in the product description?

It refers to the design elements that encourage the wearer to customize or modify the shoe themselves, in this case, by cutting the collar.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the collar cleanly

Use a sharp, new blade for your craft knife or precision scissors. Cut slowly and deliberately, following the perforated line precisely. Practice on a less visible area if unsure.

Uneven cut after modification

Minor imperfections can be addressed with careful trimming. For more significant issues, consider using fabric glue or a professional shoe repair service for a cleaner finish, though the cut remains irreversible.

Color transfer from overlays

Initial wear may see slight color transfer. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when damp. Proper care and avoiding excessive moisture can mitigate this.
