Staple Design was founded by
Jeff Staple in 1997, and has since gained itself a considerable following as an underground
streetware company. Perhaps their most famous product were the
Staple Pigeons, a pair of
SB Dunks that they produced in collaboration with
Nike. There were only around 200 pairs released and they were exclusively released in NYC. Riots erupted at many of the stores where the shoes were sold, and Staple Pigeon's currently sell for over 2000 US dollars. Staple Design has a store on Orchard Street where they sell their own line of clothing in addition to other streetware companies. Staple Design describes itself as "a positive social contagion"
