FAQs

What is the 'Passport Pack' theme?

The 'Passport Pack' theme pays homage to the three cities Union LA, the retailer, called home in the 90s: New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, drawing inspiration from early 2000s colorways.

Can I control how the ripstop upper tears?

Yes, the ripstop is designed to tear away. You can allow it to wear naturally or gently guide the process to reveal the blue leather underlay as desired.

What are the main materials used?

The sneaker features a ripstop nylon upper that tears away to reveal a leather underlay, typically in varying shades of blue.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they are built on the athletic Dunk Low silhouette, they are primarily considered lifestyle sneakers due to their design and collector's appeal. They offer good comfort for everyday wear but are not optimized for intense athletic activities.

What does the 'UN/LA' tag signify?

The yellow 'UN/LA' tag on the lateral side is a signature detail of the Union LA collaboration, referencing the retailer's origins.

How do I clean the unfinished stitching?

The unfinished stitching is part of the design. Clean around it carefully with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which could fray the threads.

Are these shoes authentic?

Yes, this product is described as 100% original and genuine, sold by Brand & Trust Drop Zone, who have been selling authentic footwear online for over 10 years.

Troubleshooting

Ripstop material is tearing unevenly.

This is an intended design feature. You can either embrace the natural wear, or carefully guide the tearing with your fingers to achieve a desired look. Avoid forceful or abrupt pulling.

Dirt trapped under the ripstop layer.

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to carefully clean around the edges of the ripstop. For deeper cleaning, you may need to gently lift the ripstop slightly to access the area, but proceed with caution.

Leather underlay appears scuffed.

Minor scuffs on the leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, consider using a leather conditioner suitable for sneakers.

Color transfer from red stitching.

While unlikely with quality materials, if color transfer occurs, gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before storing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, multi-layered design that evolves with wear.
  • Celebrates the heritage of a respected retailer (Union LA).
  • Combines classic Dunk silhouette with modern, edgy details.
  • High-quality materials contribute to a premium feel.
  • Versatile styling due to the layered aesthetic.

Cons

  • The tearaway upper might not be desirable for all users.
  • Limited availability can make them difficult to acquire.
  • The deconstructed elements may require careful handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. No setup is required.

Compatibility: These low-top shoes are designed for adult males and are compatible with most casual wear styles, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from both the ripstop and leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Managing the Tearaway Upper: The ripstop material is designed to tear away. You can choose to let this happen naturally with wear, or carefully peel away sections if desired to reveal more of the blue leather underlay. Be mindful that excessive or forceful peeling can damage the underlying leather.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and moisture.
