FAQs

What does 'Passport Pack' signify?

The 'Passport Pack' series commemorates Chris Gibbs' rare Dunk pick-ups from his travels, with the 'Argon' colorway specifically inspired by a 2001 release from Japan.

Can I reattach the ripstop nylon if I tear it off?

No, the ripstop nylon layer is designed to be a one-time tear-away feature and cannot be reattached once removed.

Is this shoe good for playing basketball?

What is the difference between the 'Argon' and other Passport Pack colorways?

Each 'Passport Pack' colorway is inspired by different Japanese market releases and travel experiences, featuring distinct color palettes and design elements.

How should I care for the Union LA branding elements?

The Union LA logos and quarter panel tabs should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive rubbing or exposure to harsh chemicals to preserve their appearance.

What size is the footbed for UK size 12?

The product information indicates a UK adult foot size of 12 for this variant.

Troubleshooting

Tear-away layer is ripping unevenly.

Attempt to carefully guide the tear along existing seams or pre-determined lines. Gentle, consistent pressure is key. If significant tearing has already occurred, consider embracing the revealed layer.

Dirt on the ripstop nylon material.

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth to rinse. Ensure the material dries completely.

Leather scuffs after removing nylon.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider using a leather conditioner appropriate for the shoe's color. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.
