Troubleshooting
Leather surface showing scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away surface marks.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during movement
Ensure the laces are tightened firmly through all eyelets to maximize the lockdown effect of the upper.
Stiff feel during initial wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike JA1 EP trainers stay in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from premium leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and structure. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs. Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. For fit compatibility, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the JA1 series is designed to accommodate typical athletic foot volumes; consider using professional orthotics if you require specific arch support.
