FAQs
What does 'EP' stand for in Nike Ja 1 EP?

What other colors or sizes are available in the Ja 1 EP series?

Is the suede material durable?
Suede offers a premium feel but requires more careful maintenance than synthetic materials. With proper care, it can be durable for regular athletic use.
Troubleshooting
Suede scuff marks or stains
Gently use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth, dabbing carefully. Allow to air dry and brush the nap back into place.
Laces becoming worn
Replace worn laces with standard athletic shoelaces of a similar length and color. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear before engaging in prolonged activity.
