FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the "Pistachio" colorway?

The "Pistachio" colorway is inspired by early 2000s releases and the travel theme of the Union "Passport Pack," featuring elements reminiscent of travel documents.

What are the primary materials used in this shoe?

The shoe primarily uses leather for the underlay and ripstop textile for the upper, with a semi-translucent material for the tearaway layer and sole.

How should I care for the semi-translucent tearaway layer?

Clean the tearaway layer gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing to preserve its appearance and integrity.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

No, the Nike x Union LA Dunk Low "Pistachio" is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic activities.

What does the "UN/LA" tag represent?

The yellow "UN/LA" tag is a signature branding element from the collaboration between Nike and Union, a Los Angeles-based boutique.

What size is represented in this guide?

This guide specifically refers to the UK 6.5 size variant, though the shoe was released in multiple sizes.

How can I best preserve the unique design features?

Wear the shoes with care, avoid extreme conditions, and clean them gently following the care instructions to maintain their aesthetic appeal.

Troubleshooting

Tearaway layer shows excessive wear.

Minimize abrasion by avoiding rough surfaces and cleaning gently. If specific areas are worn, consider them part of the shoe's evolving aesthetic.

Slight creasing on leather.

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. You can use shoe trees to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases when not in use.

Color transfer from stitching or materials.

This is a characteristic of the design. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces, especially when the shoes are new or wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear fashion sneakers. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit.

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard casual wear. They are not designed for specific athletic activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and textile surfaces. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or bleach, as these can damage the materials and the tearaway layer.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape during drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and potential damage.
