FAQs

Can the Air Jordan 1 Prototype be worn without cutting the collar?

Yes, the shoe is designed to be worn as a standard high-top without any modifications. The ability to cut the collar is an optional feature.

What year was the Air Jordan 1 Prototype released?

The Air Jordan 1 Prototype was released in September 2021.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Prototype?

Is the modification to a low-top permanent?

Yes, cutting the collar is a permanent modification. Once cut, the shoe cannot be restored to its original high-top form.

What is the SKU for this specific colorway?

The SKU for the White/Multi-Color-Total Orange colorway is DC6515-100.

How should I clean the Durabuck material?

Use a suede brush or a specialized cleaner for synthetic nubuck materials. Avoid excessive water, as it can affect the texture and color.

Can I change the laces on the Air Jordan 1 Prototype?

Yes, you can easily change the laces. This is a common way to further customize the look of your Air Jordan 1s. Additional lace colors are often sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the collar cleanly

Use a very sharp blade or precision scissors. Consider practicing on a less visible area first or seeking guidance from online tutorials. Ensure the shoe is dry and stable during the cut.

Uneven cut after modification

Carefully trim any uneven edges with a sharp blade. A light sanding with very fine-grit sandpaper can sometimes smooth rough edges, but proceed with extreme caution.

Color bleeding on overlays

If you notice color bleeding, cease use and allow the shoe to dry completely. Avoid excessive moisture. For minor bleeding, a damp cloth might help, but significant issues may be permanent.

Creasing on leather

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases. Avoid over-flexing the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup (Modification):

  1. Decision: Decide if you want to convert the shoe to a low-top.
  2. Preparation: Place the shoe on a clean, flat surface. Ensure you have sharp scissors or a craft knife.
  3. Cutting: Carefully cut along the perforated line separating the collar from the main upper. Go slowly and steadily for a clean edge.
  4. Finishing: Inspect the cut edge. You can choose to leave it as is or carefully trim any stray threads.

Compatibility:

This is a lifestyle sneaker, primarily compatible with casual and athletic apparel. Its design allows it to pair well with jeans, shorts, track pants, and various streetwear styles.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Materials: The combination of leather and Durabuck requires specific care. Leather can be conditioned periodically. Durabuck can be cleaned with a suede brush or appropriate cleaner for synthetic materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe tree or with stuffing to maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent color fading.
