The Dunk Low x Union LA Passport Pack - Argon is a direct descendant of the 2001 Japan-exclusive Argon Dunk Low, a shoe that captivated sneaker enthusiasts. Its genesis lies in Union LA owner Chris Gibbs' fascination with Japanese sneaker culture during his travels to Tokyo. This collaboration celebrates Union's presence in key cities, echoing a global perspective.
Primarily intended for casual wear, the Dunk Low x Union Argon offers a versatile aesthetic. The shoe's design, with its low-to-the-ground profile, provides stability, while the foam insole offers comfort. It includes a standard white flat lace set and a secondary pair of Hyper Royal blue laces for customization, making it suitable for everyday use.
The Dunk Low, in its various iterations, has become an undeniable emblem of street style. The shoe's impact has been felt across multiple subcultures. The collaboration with Union LA, spearheaded by Chris Gibbs, has solidified the Dunk Low's place within the upper echelons of exclusive footwear, influencing trends within the streetwear domain.
The upper of the Dunk Low x Union Argon features a ripstop textile designed with a unique tear-away feature. Underneath, a leather underlay reveals itself in varying shades of blue, adding depth and visual interest. The shoe incorporates a blend of materials, including ripstop nylon, leather, synthetic elements, a silky smooth textile inner liner, and a durable rubber outsole.
