Product Information

Full details

This guide is for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate retro-inspired footwear with a unique design narrative. The key benefit is owning a piece that blends 90s city tributes with modern sneaker culture. A potential caveat is the tearaway upper, which may reveal different patterns depending on wear. The Nike Dunk Low x Union LA 'Passport Pack - Argon' celebrates the three cities Union LA called home in the 90s: New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. It features early 2000s colorway inspiration, unfinished red stitching, a ripstop upper that reveals a leather underlay, and a distinct yellow ‘UN/LA’ tag.

FAQs

What makes the 'Passport Pack - Argon' unique?

Its uniqueness comes from the tearaway ripstop upper that reveals a hidden leather layer, the tribute to Union LA's home cities, and the specific colorway inspired by early 2000s trends.

How do I achieve the intended tearaway effect?

The ripstop upper is designed to wear down naturally over time with movement. You can also gently assist the tearing process in specific areas to reveal the blue leather underlay.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These are lifestyle sneakers designed for fashion and comfort, not for intense athletic activities. Their primary purpose is style and collecting.

What material is the underlying layer?

The layer revealed after tearing the ripstop upper is made of leather, featuring varying shades of blue.

What do the 'UN/LA' tags signify?

The yellow ‘UN/LA’ tag is a signature detail from the Union Los Angeles collaboration, referencing the retailer's presence in multiple cities.

How should I care for the ripstop material?

Clean the ripstop gently with a soft brush or slightly damp cloth to avoid snagging. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Does the shoe come in other colors within the 'Passport Pack'?

While this guide focuses on the 'Argon' colorway, the 'Passport Pack' typically includes multiple colorways, each with its own city inspiration.

Troubleshooting

Uneven tearing of the ripstop upper

The tearaway nature is part of the design; wear will naturally cause uneven tearing. For a more controlled reveal, gently peel or assist the tear in desired areas with caution.

Stitching appears unfinished

This is an intentional design feature. The red stitching is meant to have a raw, deconstructed look, typical of the Union LA collaboration style.

Color bleeding from red stitching

Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture, as this can potentially cause the red dye from the stitching to bleed onto the lighter materials. If this occurs, clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, layered design with customizable wearability.
  • Rich storytelling tied to the Union LA brand and its history.
  • High-quality materials, including leather and durable ripstop.
  • Iconic Dunk silhouette with a fresh collaborative twist.
  • A standout piece for any sneaker collection.

Cons

  • The tearaway upper requires deliberate action to reveal its full aesthetic.
  • May appeal more to collectors than those seeking a basic, everyday sneaker.
  • Limited availability can make them difficult to acquire.
  • The exposed stitching might not suit all style preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a sneaker, the Nike Dunk Low x Union LA 'Passport Pack - Argon' requires minimal setup. Compatibility is with standard footwear sizing.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water. Allow to air dry naturally.
  • Upper Care: The ripstop upper is durable, but avoid sharp objects that could cause unintended tears. If the tearaway layer is desired, do not actively try to preserve the ripstop. If you prefer the ripstop look, clean gently to avoid snagging.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a dedicated shoe cleaner or a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or a dust bag to protect from dust and light.
