Description
The SB Dunk Low Staple NYC Pigeon, a true icon in sneaker history, represents a pivotal moment in sneaker culture. Released in 2005, this collaboration between SB and Jeff Staple of Staple Design ignited a frenzy rarely seen before.
Inspired by the ubiquitous NYC pigeon, this Dunk Low features a distinctive Medium Grey/White-Dark Grey colorway. The grey upper is perfectly complemented by a crisp white Swoosh, while the orange outsole subtly mimics the bird’s feet. The defining feature, of course, is the embroidered pigeon on the heel, instantly recognizable to any sneakerhead.
The release of the SB Dunk Low NYC Pigeon was legendary, drawing massive crowds to Reed Space and even requiring police intervention. The chaos and excitement surrounding the drop landed it on the front page of the New York Daily News, cementing its place in pop culture history. With only 150 pairs initially released, its scarcity fueled its desirability, making it a grail for collectors.
More than just a shoe, the SB Dunk Low Staple NYC Pigeon symbolizes the energy and creativity of the early Skateboarding era. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and a reminder of a time when sneakers could truly capture the attention of an entire city. A must-have for any serious Dunk collector.
