FAQs

Can the collar be reattached if I cut it?

No, once the collar is cut, it cannot be reattached. The conversion to a low-top is permanent.

What is the purpose of the perforated line?

The perforated line is a design element that indicates where to cut if you wish to transform the high-top into a low-top sneaker.

Are the multicolor overlays durable?

Yes, the multicolor overlays are made from a combination of leather and Durabuck, both known for their durability in footwear.

What size is this guide referencing?

This guide specifically references the 'Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Prototype - White - UK 8'.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives.

What is Durabuck?

Durabuck is a synthetic material that resembles nubuck leather, offering a suede-like texture with enhanced durability and water resistance compared to traditional suede.

How should I store these sneakers?

Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the collar cleanly

Use a very sharp blade or precision scissors. Ensure the shoe is placed on a stable surface. Consider using masking tape along the perforated line as a guide for your cut.

Color transfer from overlays

Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when the shoe is new or wet. If transfer occurs, clean the affected area immediately with a mild soap and water solution.

Creasing on leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing. The 'Prototype' design elements may naturally mask minor creasing.

  • Unique customizable design encourages personal expression.
  • Premium materials provide durability and a high-quality feel.
  • Classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette ensures timeless appeal.
  • Released with a distinct color palette for standout style.

Cons

  • Cutting the collar to convert to a low-top is irreversible and requires care.
  • The multi-color overlays might not suit minimalist style preferences.
  • Limited initial release means availability can be scarce.
  • The $170 retail price positions it as a premium purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. If opting for the low-top conversion, ensure you have a sharp, precision cutting tool (like a craft knife or sturdy scissors) and a steady hand. Consider practicing on a scrap piece of material or drawing a guide line before making the cut. Always cut away from yourself and on a protected surface.

Compatibility: The Air Jordan 1 Prototype is designed for adult wearers. Its sizing is consistent with standard Nike footwear. It pairs well with a wide range of casual apparel, including jeans, shorts, and joggers.

Care: To maintain the appearance of the white leather and multicolor overlays, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. The Durabuck material may benefit from a gentle brushing with a suede brush. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals, which can damage the materials and adhesives.
