Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Ja 1 Day One sneakers, begin by ensuring a proper fit for your UK size. Since these are leather trainers, consider using shoe trees when not in use to maintain their shape. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dust and debris. Avoid soaking the leather, as this can degrade the material. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the Cobalt Bliss and Citron elements.
