FAQs
What makes the EP version different?
The EP (Extra Play) designation typically means the shoe is built with wider considerations and enhanced durability for use on outdoor courts or for players who are harder on their footwear.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The JA 1 EP features a round toe. While many find it comfortable, individuals with significantly wide feet might prefer to try them on first or consider models known for a wider fit.
How should I clean the leather material?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, a small amount of mild soap and water can be applied gently with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash Nike sneakers, especially those with leather components, as it can damage the materials and construction.
What is the primary purpose of the JA 1 EP?
The JA 1 EP is designed as a performance basketball shoe, offering support, cushioning, and traction for on-court play.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try to wear the same type of socks you would normally use for basketball. Lace the shoes snugly but not too tight, ensuring your heel feels secure and there's enough room in the toe box.
What does 'Guava Ice' refer to?
'Guava Ice' is the name of the specific colorway applied to this particular model of the Nike JA 1 EP.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone easily
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with grip laces if the issue persists.
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the shoes around casually for a short period to break them in. Natural wear will conform the materials to your foot.
Dirt marks on the 'Guava Ice' colorway
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could alter the color.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for athletic activities, primarily basketball. It is compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your shoes:
