FAQs

Can the collar be reattached after cutting?

No, the collar cannot be reattached once it has been cut away from the main upper.

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

The primary benefit is the ability to customize the shoe, allowing it to be worn as either a high-top or a low-top.

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

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

What year was the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' released?

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

Is the customization process difficult?

The customization involves cutting the collar, which requires a steady hand and a sharp tool for a clean result. It is a permanent modification.

What does 'Durabuck' mean?

Durabuck is a synthetic leather material designed to resemble nubuck, offering durability and a soft texture.

How should I care for the multicolor overlays?

Clean the overlays gently with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as this could affect the color or material finish.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the collar cleanly

Use a very sharp blade and a steady hand. Consider using a cutting mat for stability. Practice on a less visible area first if unsure.

Uneven cut after modification

Minor imperfections can be addressed with fine-grit sandpaper or by adding additional customization elements like tape or stitching to cover the edge.

Material fraying after cutting

Apply a small amount of clear shoe glue or leather sealant along the cut edge to prevent further fraying. Alternatively, consider adding a fabric trim.

Color bleed from overlays during cleaning

Use minimal water and a cloth specifically for cleaning the colorfast areas. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous spot first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup (Customization):

To convert the Air Jordan 1 'Prototype' from a high-top to a low-top:

  1. Identify the perforated line around the ankle collar.
  2. Use a sharp craft knife or precision cutting tool.
  3. Carefully and slowly cut along the perforated line, ensuring a clean separation.
  4. Ensure the cut is smooth and even on both sides.

Compatibility:
