FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the 'Passport Pack - Argon' design?

The design is inspired by the early 2000s colorways and pays homage to the three cities that Union LA's retailer called home in the 90s: New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. It specifically takes cues from the 2001 Nike Dunk Low CO.JP 'Argon'.

What does 'tear-away upper' mean?

The sneaker features a semi-translucent ripstop nylon layer that can be worn as is, or it can be carefully torn away to reveal a smooth leather underlay in varying shades of blue.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable for daily wear, these are primarily fashion sneakers. They are not designed for high-intensity athletic activities.

How do I care for the ripstop material?

Gently clean the ripstop with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain its appearance and integrity.

What is the significance of the yellow 'UN/LA' tag?

The yellow 'UN/LA' tag is a collaborative branding element specific to the Union LA partnership, adding a unique detail to the shoe.

Can the ripstop layer be reattached if I tear it off?

The ripstop layer is designed to be a tear-away feature and is not intended to be reattached once removed.

What sizes are available?

These sneakers are available in adult men's sizes, typically listed in UK sizing.

Troubleshooting

Ripstop upper appears damaged or torn.

The ripstop is designed to be tear-away. Minor intentional wear is part of the aesthetic. If significant tearing occurs due to accident, it may not be reversible. Handle with care to preserve the intended look.

Leather underlay is scuffed.

Minor scuffs on the leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear.

Unfinished stitching is unraveling.

The stitching is intentionally left unfinished for style. If a significant portion is unraveling beyond the intended aesthetic, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Sole creasing or separation.

Slight creasing is normal with wear. For minor sole separation, a flexible shoe adhesive designed for sneakers can be used. For severe separation, professional repair is recommended.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the ripstop and leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks on the ripstop, a slightly damp cloth is recommended.
  • Stitching: Be cautious around the unfinished red stitching; avoid snagging or pulling.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed for cleaning or replacement. Hand wash laces with mild soap and water.
  • Soles: The rubber soles can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Ensure they are dry before wearing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
