FAQs

What is the significance of the 'Passport Pack' name?

The 'Passport Pack' theme refers to the collaboration's inspiration drawn from the three cities Union LA had stores in during the 90s: New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. Each shoe in the pack had a distinct design reflecting this global influence.

Can the ripstop upper be reattached after tearing?

No, the ripstop upper is designed to be a permanent tearaway feature. Once torn, it cannot be reattached to its original state.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While the Dunk silhouette was originally a basketball shoe, this collaborative version is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. It offers comfort for casual activities but is not intended for rigorous athletic performance.

What does 'Hyper Royal/White/Psychic Blue' refer to?

These are the primary color descriptions for the shoe. 'Hyper Royal' and 'Psychic Blue' refer to specific shades of blue used in the colorway, with 'White' being the accent color.

How can I ensure I'm buying an authentic pair?

Purchase from reputable retailers like Brand & Trust Drop Zone, which guarantees 100% original and genuine products. Look for official packaging and authentic branding details.

What is the main difference between this and other Nike Dunk Low models?

The key differences are the exclusive collaboration with Union LA, the unique tearaway ripstop upper revealing a leather underlay, the unfinished red stitching, and the 'UN/LA' tag, setting it apart from standard Dunk releases.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Consult the Nike official sizing chart, which typically provides conversions from US, European, and UK sizing. Ensure you measure your foot accurately for the best results.

Troubleshooting

Uneven tearing of the ripstop upper

Tearaway is intended to be a deliberate action. If an accident occurs, minor cosmetic fixes might be possible with fabric glue, but the effect is permanent. Ensure a firm, even pull if intentionally tearing.

Color transfer from stitching or underlay

New shoes, especially those with vibrant dyes like the red stitching, can sometimes transfer color. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, particularly when wet. Use a shoe protector spray designed for leather and textiles.

Creasing on leather underlay

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid storing in cramped spaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching design with customizable elements.
  • High-quality materials offering both durability and a premium feel.
  • Significant collector's item with a rich backstory tied to sneaker culture.
  • Versatile styling potential due to the tearaway upper feature.
  • Represents a notable collaboration between Nike and Union LA.

Cons

  • The tearaway upper may require deliberate action to reveal the underlay.
  • As a collectible item, it may be less suitable for rugged, everyday wear.
  • Limited availability due to its collaborative and release nature.
  • The unique design elements might not appeal to all style preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. The primary 'setup' involves deciding whether to keep the ripstop upper intact or to purposefully tear it away to reveal the leather underlay.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Designed for adult male foot sizes. It is recommended to refer to Nike's sizing guides for the most accurate fit, considering the specific UK sizing provided (e.g., UK 9).
  • Wardrobe: Highly compatible with casual and streetwear attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and t-shirts.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the ripstop material, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material. For the leather underlay, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. A toothbrush can be useful for cleaning crevices.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and sunlight. Avoid direct heat sources.
  • Tearaway Feature: If you choose to tear the upper, do so carefully and deliberately. This is a one-time alteration.
