FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the 'Hunger' design?
The design is inspired by the hunger for victory and the drive to succeed in athletic competition.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally standard. For wider feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible, as the leather may offer some flexibility over time.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, their bold design makes them a statement piece for casual outfits. However, they are primarily performance-oriented.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily composed of leather.
How do I clean the red and blue parts of the sneaker?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using strong cleaning agents, especially on the colored sections, to prevent fading or damage.
Is this a unisex model?
This model is listed as a men's trainer.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness in leather
Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break in the leather. You can also use a leather conditioner sparingly.
Traction issues on dusty courts
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and restore grip.
Color transfer onto socks
This can occur with new, vibrant dyed leather. It should reduce after several wears. Consider wearing darker socks initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As footwear, the Nike JA 1 EP requires no setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for athletic performance and casual wear. They are not intended for formal occasions.
Care: To maintain the condition of your 'Hunger' trainers:
