Which Nike SB Dunk design, created with Jeff Staple in 2005, is nicknamed the Pigeon?

The story behind the answer

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro SB Pigeon, created with Jeff Staple in 2005, is nicknamed the Pigeon.

The shoe was a collaboration between Nike SB and Staple Design. Its grey upper referenced New York City concrete, while the orange outsole echoed the city’s public imagery and the pigeon embroidered on the heel represented New York’s ubiquitous street birds. The design became famous after a highly publicized release at Staple’s Reed Space store in New York.

The Pigeon is often confused with other famous SB Dunk colorways such as the Paris, Tiffany, and Heineken models. Those nicknames refer to different designs and collaborations.

Its limited release, strong city-specific concept, and dramatic demand helped establish the SB Dunk as a major collectible sneaker beyond skateboarding. The shoe is now regarded as a landmark in sneaker and streetwear history.
