Here's a little info...
Came out in ny 150 pairs, it was said there was a brawl for these shoes and those lucky enough to get a pair had to be escorted to a taxi and sent directlyhome. It was also said after the brawl weapons were found on the floor such as bats. Might sound like bull but its true

such as? give me a break. plus like i said i know the story of the pigeon release sb but never heard or saw of the friends and family. thats why i asked if anyone knew of these. why are they numbered? these arent the new york release. so next time try reading the post a little better.
Okey here's an interview with JEFF STAPLE of STAPLE DESIGNS (the one who designed this shoe) regarding his thoughts on the controversy over one of his classic creations.
(from sneakerfreaker.com , pictures courtesy of sneakerfreaker.com)
*How did the Pigeon Dunk come about?
My good friend Marcus who used to run things at Nike SB, asked us to create the NYC Dunk that was to be aligned with the White Dunk show. If you remember, there was a Paris, Japan, Cali, London one etc, etc. So he asked us to work on the NYC one. Of course it was a great honor. To be able to bless the seminal shoe, The Dunk, and represent our home town all in one project was just a dream come true. After sitting around and thinking for a while about what represented NY best, the Pigeon kept coming up. It's something very innate to New Yorkers. And something you wouldn't necessarily relate to the city if you didn't in fact live here.
*When were they released and how many were there?
Feb 22nd, 2005. 150 for the world. 30 pieces for 5 shops. Rival, Supreme, Recon, KCDC and us. Our 30 had a lasered Staple logo and each was individually numbered.
that was a good read, thanks.

no one is salty i just think it was dumb of u to chime in after the fact. very irrelevant but thats what happens when ur young. its not whatever. u made an error and i simply corrected u. no worries just next time be alittle more intelligent. u made a mistake and thats ok. no need to say anything once someone has answered my question. dont be lame.
So you wanted this dude to chime in before the fact?

No. Like the interview says, there were 150 pairs made. 5 stores got them. 30 pairs for each store. The 30 pairs that Staples got were lasered.The end.
