Full details

The key benefit is owning a piece of sneaker history that combines distinct design elements with comfort and style. A potential caveat is the tearaway upper, which, while offering a unique reveal, requires careful handling to preserve its intended look. This sneaker features a ripstop upper that reveals a leather underlay, unfinished red stitching, and a yellow ‘UN/LA’ tag, celebrating the three cities Union LA called home in the 90s.

FAQs

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

The 'Passport Pack' series honors Union LA's retail locations in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, drawing inspiration from global styles and city influences.

How does the tearaway upper work?

The ripstop nylon upper is designed to be worn away or intentionally removed, revealing a differently colored leather underlayer beneath. This allows for a unique, evolving aesthetic.

What are the main colors of this sneaker?

The primary colors are Hyper Royal and White, with Psychic Blue accents on the revealed leather underlay and distinct red stitching.

Is this sneaker unisex?

Yes, the Union LA x Nike Dunk Low 'Passport Pack - Argon' is designed as a unisex sneaker, suitable for all adults.

What is the material of the underlay?

The underlay revealed by the ripstop upper is made of leather in varying shades of blue.

How should I clean the unfinished stitching?

The unfinished stitching is a design element. Clean around it carefully with a soft brush. Avoid excessive moisture directly on the threads.

What size is this specific guide for?

This guide is for the Nike Dunk Low x Union LA 'Passport Pack - Argon' in Men's UK Size 10.5.

Troubleshooting

Tearaway upper is wearing unevenly.

This is an intended feature. If you wish to maintain the ripstop, be mindful of abrasive surfaces. If you prefer the revealed look, continue wearing them naturally.

Dirt trapped in ripstop material.

Gently use a soft brush or a toothpick to carefully remove debris from the ripstop weave. Follow up with a damp cloth for surface cleaning.

Color transfer from red stitching.

This can occur with new products. Ensure the stitching is dry. If transfer occurs onto lighter materials, use a specialized fabric cleaner suitable for sneakers.

Sole feels stiff.

The rubber sole may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes regularly for short durations to allow them to conform to your foot.
