FAQs

What is the significance of the 'Passport Pack' name?

The 'Passport Pack' series celebrates the global reach and influence of the Nike Dunk, with specific colorways and designs inspired by retailers and streetwear culture from different international cities.

Can I reattach the ripstop upper after tearing it?

No, the ripstop layer is designed to be a permanent modification once torn. It cannot be reattached.

What does 'Argon' refer to in this shoe's name?

'Argon' refers to the original colorway of the Nike Dunk Low CO.JP released in 2001, which this Union LA collaboration heavily references.

How do I know if I'm getting an authentic pair?

Purchase from authorized retailers or reputable resale platforms. Look for consistent branding, quality of materials, and correct packaging. Research distinguishing features of authentic pairs.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable for walking, these Dunks are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear, not for high-impact athletic activities.

What size should I order?

Refer to the size chart for Nike Dunk Lows. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Does the tear-away upper affect the shoe's durability?

The underlying leather is durable. The ripstop layer's durability is standard for nylon; once torn, its protective function is altered but the shoe remains wearable.

Troubleshooting

Ripstop upper not tearing evenly

Apply gentle, consistent pressure along the intended tear lines. Avoid aggressive pulling, which can cause damage. Small scissors can be used for precise removal if needed, but this is not recommended for maintaining the intended design.

Scuffs or dirt on leather underlay

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used very gently, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Color transfer from stitching or other materials

Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer occurs on the shoe, clean immediately with appropriate cleaners for the respective materials (leather cleaner for leather, mild soap for ripstop).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a footwear product, there is no technical setup required. Simply lace them up and wear them.

Compatibility: These are men's low-top sneakers designed for adult foot sizes. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear attire.

Care:

  • Upper: For the ripstop nylon, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For the leather underlay, use a leather cleaner sparingly. Avoid excessive moisture.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber outsoles with a soft brush and mild soap and water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity. Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
  • Tear-Away Feature: If you choose to reveal the leather underlay, do so carefully. Once torn, the ripstop layer cannot be reattached.
