Why invest in Nike Dunk Low Pigeon? 
 
The story of these sneakers is a fascinating and significant episode in sneaker culture, particularly in the history of skate footwear. 
 
Concept and design 
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pigeon was designed in 2005 in collaboration with New York designer and founder of urban clothing brand Staple Design, Jeff Staple. The design is inspired by the pigeons that are ubiquitous in New York City. The shoe's colors (gray, white, black, and a striking salmon pink accent) reflect the colors of an urban pigeon. On the heel of the shoe, there is an embroidered Pigeon logo, which has become the iconic mark of the model. 
 
Limited edition 
The Nike SB Dunk Low ""Pigeon"" was produced in a very limited edition of only 150 pairs. This limitation significantly contributed to the shoe's popularity and collectible value. 
 
Launch event 
The shoe was released on February 22, 2005, exclusively at five stores in New York City. Days before the release, a line began to form outside Jeff Staple's store (Reed Space) as sneaker enthusiasts and collectors awaited the coveted shoes. 
 
Chaos and media attention 
On the day of the release, the crowd caused chaotic scenes, with clashes and police intervention to control the crowd. These events attracted media attention, making the footwear even more popular. Images of the chaotic scene and reports about it appeared on various news channels and newspapers. 
 
Influence and legacy 
Nike SB Dunk Low Pigeon are considered some of the most influential and sought-after sneakers in sneaker culture history. It marked a turning point in the sneaker scene and helped increase the popularity of limited editions and collaborations. 
 
Successors and tributes 
Due to its success and significance, Nike has released several successors and tributes to the original "Pigeon," including the "Black Pigeon" and the "Panda Pigeon." Each of these releases also generated great interest and excitement in the sneaker community.

Jeff Staple envisioned a shoe that would represent his city, which is how he created the Nike SB Dunk Low "Pigeon", inspired by the grittiness of New York City's most iconic feathered inhabitant, the pigeon. Without this release, sneaker culture wouldn't be what it is today.
