Product Information
Full details
The DC JS 1 trainers are designed for skateboarders and casual wearers who appreciate a fusion of heritage aesthetics and modern performance technology. As John Shanahan's first signature model, these shoes offer a highly stable and cushioned ride thanks to advanced technical features like an injected TPR heel stabilizer and a foam-padded collar. While the shoe provides excellent support and a customizable fit, prospective buyers should note that the suede and mesh construction requires consistent care to maintain its appearance and structural integrity over time.

FAQs
Can I skate in these shoes?
Yes, the JS 1 is designed as a pro-model skate shoe with features like a durable gum rubber outsole and reinforced upper panels.
Is the strap removable?
Yes, the shoe features a detachable strap that allows for customizable support and style.
How do I clean the suede?
Gently brush with a dry suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, but never machine wash.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Most users find the DC JS 1 fits true to size, but the internal padding may feel snug initially before breaking in.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from a combination of durable suede and breathable mesh.
Can I replace the laces if the leather loops break?
The leather loops are designed for durability, but standard flat laces can still be used if you prefer to bypass the loops.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the instep.
Loosen the lacing through the leather loops or adjust the tightness of the detachable midfoot strap.
The detachable strap is difficult to remove.
Ensure the strap is completely unfastened from the velcro or snap points; do not pull by the strap body, but rather by the attachment point.
Suede looks discolored or matted.
Use a dedicated suede eraser or a suede-specific brush to lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the elasticated tongue straps are positioned correctly over the midfoot before lacing. The detachable strap can be adjusted to your preferred tension; ensure it is snapped securely into place to avoid it coming loose.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to protect against the elements.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsole and suede material from fading or hardening.
