Peak dunk culture was 2000’s I think. There was so much creativity around the different releases.

[@fasttraining156]

I’m 44 today is my birthday and I still want a pair.

[@darrendent8288]

Happy belated birthday

[@Mac-jz1ff]

Pink? I always thought they were orange

[@chinoparatodo]

Me too like the knicks color way

[@NationJJ]

Pigeons are exclusive to NY. They actually can't grow in any other city. So cool.

[@OJsimpsonsKnife]

[@AnthonyWilliams_83]

This was the first time I knew what SB’s were in the sneaker game.

[@jliebman6883]

Great interview

[@jester556]

Those are fire

[@johnblackmouth]

February 23,2025 marking the 20th anniversary Nike should release a new version of this shoe or a special collaboration marking the event.

[@johnnelson5335]

Great story

[@fenderrhodes9647]

Excellent storytelling

[@judehopkins5636]

The real question is, did that little kid get his size 6 pair

[@jakeryan3899]

the population of nyc has 5 million pigeons so they should have made 5 million pairs

[@ryadhasanahmed5443]

Would've been such an easy cop if it was a worldwide raffleless release if the stock was that much.

[@JAY-jf3pj]

Direct message to Jeff S from Jay R checking in I messaged you a few months back and you did not get back. Pls def get bk 2 me man, it's about the culture & those pgon sneaks. Sf.pls imp 8...

[@DJGumby]

Fav color-way?

[@chinchowpowpook]

Is super silly to pay 5 figure for a pigeon

[@ohgeemafia7528]

(Makes the first paper of magazines) thinks he the one who made shoes popular 😂

[@JeewanthaBandara]

All I realize from this is that sneaker culture is pretty stupid. People getting threatened with bodily harm over shoes? Seriously??

[@numbaoneg101]

Yeah LES has some hood parts even to this day. Idk what it was like back then though. Criminals are opportunists though.

[@ryadhasanahmed5443]

Very very late reply but a 16 year old in NYC got battered and sent to the ICU by a group of jobless grown men over his one pair of AJ1 Chicago Lost and founds on his feet.
