I was wondering this too. I asked a bunch of people on youtube but got no answer. It seems the problem is with the overall shape of the toe box. Since the protector is of much harder material, it cant really conform to shapes other than its own. They molded the protector to fit the AF1 exactly...
I have the 2010 red white black release. I thought about making bred customs but useless now.
Good thing they got rid of VNTG treatment. Lets hope they keep it that way.
I think Proto Js are better haha
