Staple x New Balance...they have done it again!!!!



Jeff Staple is becoming a legend, if he isn’t one already. He’s an innovator, and really should need no introduction. He’s been shaking up the sneaker world with global collaborations, innovations and sick design for a long time.



The almost mythical pigeon derived from the minds over at Staple Design is set for a comeback, three years after its Nike SB Dunk Low’s release sparked wide-spread chaos and panic amidst the streets of New York. This time around, jeffstaple and crew look to New Balance’s trail runner the 575 as the cornerstone of their latest sneaker inspiration.




In an in-depth interview with Sneaker Freaker, some pressing issues are featured including what reactions are expected out of the Nike camp as well as jeffstaple’s reasoning behind reliving a historic shoe which, he mentions changed the face of the sneaker world. For the shoe itself, the color placement is actually quite similar to the original SB Dunk including the pigeon-foot orange seen on the lining and sole (as you can see above). Also seen is a new embroidery on the heel featuring a flying pigeon to go alongside the original standing pigeon( as you can see below). Following up on Staple Design’s recent involvement with Lomo, a Pigeon-colored Lomo camera will also release ( see below). Singapore has already announced an August 6th release at Leftfoot Singapore and Le Vault.





This guy was one of the lucky ones who coped the first pair that was sold in australia.
