FAQs

How do I achieve the tear-away effect?

The semi-translucent ripstop nylon upper is designed to be torn away. You can carefully peel or tear sections of the nylon overlay to reveal the blue leather underneath. This process is permanent once done.

What does 'Passport Pack' signify?

The 'Passport Pack' theme is inspired by the extensive travels of Chris Gibbs and his rare Dunk finds from Japan in the early 2000s, referencing specific Japan-exclusive (CO.JP) colorways.

Is the ripstop nylon durable?

The ripstop nylon offers a unique aesthetic and some level of durability against tearing due to its weave. However, it is more delicate than traditional leather and requires careful handling to prevent unintended damage if you wish to preserve its original state.

What is the original retail price?

The Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Argon originally retailed for $150 USD.

What is the colorway inspiration?

The colorway is inspired by the 2001 Nike Dunk Low CO.JP Argon and pays homage to the three cities Union LA has called home: New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.

Can I restore the ripstop nylon if I tear it?

No, once the ripstop nylon is torn away, it cannot be fully restored to its original condition. The tear-away feature is intended to be a permanent customization.

What does the 'UN|LA' tag represent?

The 'UN|LA' tag on the quarter panel is a signature branding element representing the Union Los Angeles collaboration.

Troubleshooting

Ripstop nylon is snagged or torn unintentionally.

Minor snags may blend with the deconstructed aesthetic. For larger tears, consider intentionally removing the panel around the snag or embracing the altered appearance.

Leather underlay appears creased.

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. Wear the shoes to allow them to mold to your feet. Conditioning the leather periodically can help maintain its suppleness.

Color transfer from stitching or overlays.

Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or apparel, especially when the shoes are new or wet. Allow the shoes to air out before wearing.

Compatibility: The Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Argon is a lifestyle sneaker designed for everyday wear. It is compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and ripstop nylon, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials or the tear-away effect.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to clean the rubber parts.
  3. Ripstop Nylon Care: Be mindful when wearing and handling the shoes to avoid unnecessary snags or tears on the ripstop nylon if you wish to maintain its original appearance. If you choose to tear it away, do so carefully and intentionally.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe tree, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and sunlight.
