FAQs

What is the main feature of the Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Argon?

The main feature is its tear-away ripstop nylon upper, which reveals a blue leather underlay, offering a customizable and layered aesthetic inspired by global travel.

How do I care for the tear-away upper?

You can clean the ripstop nylon gently with a damp cloth. If you choose to tear it away, this is a permanent change. The revealed leather should be cared for as standard leather.

Is the tear-away process reversible?

No, once the ripstop nylon is torn away, it is a permanent modification to the shoe's design and cannot be reattached.

What inspired this collaboration?

This sneaker is inspired by Chris Gibbs' experiences and rarest Dunk pick-ups from his travels to Japan in the early 2000s, specifically referencing the 2001 Nike Dunk Low CO.JP Argon and Union LA's connection to New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.

What material is the shoe primarily made of?

The shoe features a base of smooth leather in tonal blue, covered by a semi-translucent ripstop nylon upper.

What size is this specific guide entry for?

This guide entry specifically corresponds to the Nike x Union LA Dunk Low 'Passport Pack - Argon' in Men's US 12.5 (UK 11.5).

Are there other colorways or versions in the Passport Pack series?

Yes, the Passport Pack series typically includes multiple colorways and interpretations inspired by different cities and collaborations.

Troubleshooting

Tearing the ripstop nylon is difficult or uneven.

Apply gentle, consistent pressure. Using a small, blunt tool like a plastic spudger can help lift edges. Be aware this is a permanent modification.

Leather underlay appears scuffed or marked after tearing.

These marks may be part of the design's character, mimicking vintage wear. For significant marks, consult professional shoe care services. Avoid harsh cleaning.

Shoe feels stiff initially.

This is common with new leather. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. Avoid excessive force or bending.

Cons
