FAQs

What is the significance of the 'UN/LA' tag?

The 'UN/LA' tag is a signature element representing the collaboration between Union Los Angeles, a renowned sneaker boutique, and Nike.

Can the ripstop upper be cleaned easily?

Yes, the ripstop upper can be cleaned with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While built on the Dunk Low silhouette, which has a basketball heritage, these are primarily fashion/lifestyle sneakers. They offer comfort for walking but are not designed for high-impact athletic performance.

What does the 'Passport Pack' theme represent?

The 'Passport Pack' theme pays homage to the three cities that Union Los Angeles called home in the 90s: New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, with each shoe in the pack representing one of these cities.

How do I care for the leather underlay?

The leather underlay can be maintained using a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply sparingly and test on a small area first.

What size options are available?

These shoes are available in various adult sizes, including the UK 15 specified in this guide.

Is the tearaway upper meant to be fully removed?

The tearaway upper is designed to reveal the underlayer gradually through wear or careful peeling. It is not intended to be fully removed.

Troubleshooting

Tearaway upper is revealing unevenly.

This is a normal characteristic of the design. Gentle wear will naturally expose the underlay over time. Avoid intentionally tearing or peeling large sections, as this can affect the shoe's structure.

Dirt trapped in ripstop fabric.

Use a soft brush with gentle bristles or a damp cloth to carefully wipe away dirt. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

Color transfer from stitching or materials.

Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer occurs onto lighter socks, wash the socks immediately. For transfer onto the shoe itself, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and layered design with the tearaway upper.
  • High-quality materials including leather and ripstop.
  • Distinctive branding elements that tell a story.
  • Comfortable for daily wear due to the Dunk Low silhouette.
  • A notable collectible for fans of Nike, Union LA, and retro sneakers.

Cons

  • The tearaway upper design may show wear if not handled carefully.
  • The 'unfinished' aesthetic might not suit all personal styles.
  • Limited availability can make them difficult to acquire.
  • Higher resale value due to its collaborative nature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wearers. The low-top profile is compatible with most casual attire.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the ripstop material, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the fabric.
  • Leather Underlay: If the leather underlay is exposed, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner sparingly. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Stitching: The unfinished stitching is a design element; avoid pulling or snagging it.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before storage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or a dust bag, away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity.
