Editor’s Notes: With a solid number of rumored Nike and Jordan collaborations under its belt for this year, Union Los Angeles is ready for its first collaborative sneaker rollout of the year.
Union LA is joining the Dunk craze with its take on the Nike Dunk Low. Coming shortly after Dover Street’s spin on the model, the iconic LA streetwear brand’s Dunk is (literally) fly.
Teasers hit the sneaker net towards the end of last year, revealing “Psychic Blue” and “Midnight Navy” colorways. However, a third color rounds off the travel-ready pack.

Named the “Passport Pack,” the Union LA x Nike Dunk Low pays homage to Union and its early days of hitting up major cities for the most elite streetwear and kicks. Specifically, the Chris Gibbs-led brand shouts out New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo as “homes” to Union.
Three cities sum up three colorways for the “Passport Pack,” but only the Pistachio will see a release this month. The remaining two colors arrive in March, with further release details to come.
The Union LA Dunks are genuinely the gift that keeps on giving. Translucent ripstop matched with awry stitching takes over the upper, but wait — there’s more. These surface details are a rough draft to the actual Dunk (or you can leave it as is, the choice is yours).

As demonstrated by @joosebocks via Instagram, personal curiosity encourages you to peel back the grid-printed ripstop, revealing a rich Midnight Navy and Pistachio in premium leather underneath.
Skateboarder Briana King leads the Union LA x Nike Dunk Low campaign, rocking a black Union hoodie and lace-trim midi skirt with, of course, the featured sneaker collaboration.

Joining the Dunks this year, a collaborative Air Jordan 2 and Cortez expect a Spring 2022 release.
Union offers outright innovation on the surface of its Dunk with a classic waiting for its turn to shine below. The decision is up to you, the wearer.
So, where’s your end destination: the explorative ripstop-stitching combo or the timeless, rich leather?
