FAQs

What is the significance of the 'Passport Pack'?

The 'Passport Pack' by Union LA and Nike Dunk celebrates the influence of three cities - New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo - on sneaker culture during the 90s, drawing inspiration from Chris Gibbs' personal collection and travels.

Can the ripstop upper be reattached after tearing?

No, the tearaway ripstop upper is designed for a one-time modification. Once the material is removed, it cannot be reattached.

What does the "UN/LA" tag represent?

The "UN/LA" tag is a branding element specific to the collaboration, referencing the Union Los Angeles store and its connection to New York and Tokyo.

Is this shoe waterproof?

The shoe is not waterproof. While the materials offer some resistance to light moisture, prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and stitching.

What is the original retail price of this sneaker?

The Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Argon originally retailed for $150 USD.

How does the sizing run for this model?

This model generally follows Nike's standard Dunk sizing. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can be subjective.

What are the main colorways used in this release?

The primary colors are Hyper Royal, White, and Psychic Blue, with contrasting red stitching and yellow 'UN/LA' details.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty tearing the ripstop upper evenly.

Use a seam ripper or small, sharp scissors for controlled tearing. Apply gentle, consistent pressure. Alternatively, seek assistance from a professional customization service.

Color transfer from red stitching to lighter areas.

This is a known characteristic of the design. If concerned, avoid excessive moisture and consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for footwear.

Uneven wear on the sole after extended use.

Rotate the shoes with other pairs in your collection to distribute wear. Consider professional resoling if significant wear occurs on the outsole.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. No specific setup is required beyond lacing them to your preference.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, the sizing is based on standard UK men's foot sizes. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit.

Care Instructions:

General Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down both the leather and ripstop upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Tearaway Upper: If you choose to tear away the ripstop layer, do so carefully and deliberately. Once torn, this process is irreversible.
Leather Care: Condition the underlying leather periodically to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
Avoid Extreme Conditions: Limit exposure to excessive moisture or heat, which can damage the materials.
