FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While durable, they are optimized for indoor performance. Outdoor play may accelerate wear on the outsole traction pattern.
Does the JA 1 run true to size?
The JA 1 generally fits true to size for most players, though the leather upper may feel snug initially compared to textile shoes.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the finish.
Are these shoes intended for casual wear?
While they feature a stylish design suitable for off-court wear, their primary engineering focus is professional basketball performance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the factory insoles to replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness during first wear
Wear the shoes during light activity or warm-ups to break in the leather upper naturally.
Accumulated dirt on the outsole reducing grip
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth or a dedicated shoe cleaning brush to restore traction.
Laces coming undone during play
Ensure a secure double knot and check that the laces are fed through all provided eyelets for maximum lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing as the leather construction offers a structured fit that differs from mesh-based trainers. If the shoes feel rigid out of the box, spend time walking in them before high-intensity use to allow the leather to flex naturally. For care, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dust and court grime buildup. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the specialized performance materials. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
