Troubleshooting

Ensure the outsole is free of dust and debris by wiping the bottom of the shoe with a damp towel before and during play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike JA 1 sneakers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short periods on carpet or wood floors before high-intensity games to allow the leather to soften and contour to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue dyes to fade and the leather to dry out.
- Maintenance: If the outsole loses traction due to dust, wipe the bottom with a damp microfiber cloth to restore its grip during play.
