FAQs

What is the 'Passport Pack' theme?

The 'Passport Pack' theme is inspired by the Union crew's love for travel and adventure, with design elements that evoke the look and feel of passports and travel documents.

How do I reveal the hidden colors?

The semi-translucent tearaway layer on the upper can be carefully removed to reveal contrasting green and navy hues on the leather underlay. This is typically done by hand or with gentle tools along the seams.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper features a combination of durable ripstop textile and leather.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they are based on a basketball shoe silhouette, these are primarily designed as lifestyle and collectible sneakers. They are comfortable for casual wear but not recommended for intense athletic training.

What does the yellow tag signify?

The yellow "UN/LA" tag is a distinctive branding element from the collaboration between Nike and Union, signifying the partnership.

When were these shoes released?

The Nike Dunk Low Union Passport Pack 'Pistachio' was released in February 2022.

Troubleshooting

Tearaway layer is difficult to remove evenly.

Gently use a fingernail or a plastic tool to lift the edge of the tearaway layer. Work slowly and carefully along the seams. Avoid using sharp metal objects that could damage the underlying material.

Color bleeding from the underlayer onto the ripstop material.

This is unlikely due to the nature of the materials. If it occurs, try cleaning the affected area immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.

Dirt or scuffs on the semi-translucent sole.

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the sole. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Creasing on the leather underlay.

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear and indicates wear. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and customizable design with the tearaway layer.
  • High-quality materials and construction from a Nike and Union LA collaboration.
  • Distinctive colorway inspired by travel and early 2000s aesthetics.
  • Collectible item for sneaker enthusiasts and fans of both brands.

Cons

  • Limited edition status may make it difficult to acquire.
  • The tearaway feature requires a deliberate action to reveal the underlayer.
  • As a collectible, the retail price may be higher than standard releases.
  • The unique design might not appeal to all personal style preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these sneakers require no technical setup. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These are men's athletic shoes, primarily designed for casual wear. They are compatible with standard sock types.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the ripstop textile and leather, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Tearaway Layer: If you choose to remove the tearaway layer, do so carefully to avoid damaging the underlying leather. This action is permanent.
  • Sole: Clean the semi-translucent sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain color and material integrity. Using shoe trees can help preserve the shape.
