Once upon a time, long before the hype pervaded popular culture, the major sneaker brands would typically deliver one, maybe two coveted releases a month, with a heavy emphasis on storytelling. Nowadays, it’s commonplace to see these different labels ditch the ‘who, what, where, when and how,’ and instead drop multiple pairs of heat in just one weekend. A welcomed dilemma for most.
With that said, we continue our weekly roundup of the most sought after silhouettes for the week, hoping to make your ‘cop or drop’ decision as easy as possible. Check out the list below and chime in on the styles you’ll be picking up.
Nike SB Dunk Low “Black Pigeon”

2005’s launch of the Nike SB Dunk Low “Pigeon” changed sneaker culture forever. Since then, brands and retailers alike have implemented a number of varying release procedures to eliminate the madness surrounding highly-coveted sneaker drops. Twelve years later, jeffstaple and Nike SB return to cause some more havoc with a Pigeon Drunk relaunch but in a new black colorway. Good luck and happy hunting.
