The Union x Nike Dunk Low “Pistachio” is releasing at 9AM PST / Noon EST  Friday for $150.

Their site will go into password protect mode sometime in the next 24 hours, prior tp the drop, and they will most likely use a brand new site to release the shoes, just like other stores such as A Ma Maniere have.

*As a back up make sure you have an account made on https://store.unionlosangeles.com in case*

Read and follow the steps listed below to properly prepare for this release tomorrow

WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE DROP

  • Bookmark this link right now – https://store.unionlosangeles.com/pages/passport-pack
  • When the page goes into password protection mode the link will now be https://store.unionlosangeles.com/password.  You want to bookmark the link above and make sure it does not include /password so at drop time you aren’t constantly refreshing the password page.
  • Install Assist by SoleSavy and set it up with your shipping address and credit card details
  • Since this is a password protected drop, you won’t be able to pre-cart and fill in your shipping and credit card details before the shoes go live.  Our assist chrome extension will save your precious seconds once you get through queue by filling out all your information for you
  • We expect global shipping to be available but currently it is US shipping only so you will have to use a reshipper for these.
  • Additionally as a back up to Assist, make sure your shipping and credit card auto fill is correct on your browser of choice
  • They will use HCAPTCHA so get some practice in drawing those boxes here
  • The trick is first drawing the box fully around the selected image the first time and then ever so slightly adjusting it to make it to make the box a bit smaller, then click submit.  I have found this works almost every time so try it out

WHAT TO DO AT DROP TIME

  • The team will be live on zoom starting at 1130am EST. The first thing to do is get into the zoom call so you can see everything that is going on and get your questions answered if you have any
  • 15 minutes before the release time clear your cache and cookies for all time
  • Log into your gmail account to help with your captcha bot test
  • At drop time start clicking the bookmark you made for the Union website until the password comes down
  • Navigate the website and try and get into queue as fast as you can by carting and item and completing the HCAPTCHA bot test
  • The key is getting into queue as quickly as possible with any in stock item.  Once you are in queue you can add and remove items from your cart in ANOTHER tab so I suggest getting into queue with the first item that you are able to cart. If this is the shoes/size you want then even better.
  • If you get into queue with an item that isn’t the shoes/size you want then open a second tab, hit your bookmark, and find the right item on the site and add them to your cart while your first tab is in queue but DO NOT HIT CHECKOUT ON YOUR SECOND TAB. Only add the shoes to your cart
  • Staff will be shouting out answers to the HCAPTCHA questions so you can complete the bot test as quickly as possible.
    • Be AWARE that sometimes their may be multiple passwords
  • Wait through your queue and once through try and checkout as fast as you can

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
