Jeff Staple x Crocs
Streetwear godfather Jeff Staple teams up with Crocs for a special Pigeon inspired Clog.
Since 1997, Staple has repped the streets of New York by delivering timeless streetwear classics that capture the spirit of the city. What started as a small T-Shirt line handmade by jeffstaple, grew organically and began to gain visibility in NYC. In the process of building this burgeoning brand, Nike asked jeffstaple in 2005 to create a special commemorative sneaker that would represent New York. The STAPLE x Nike Dunk Pro Low SB "NYC Pigeon" was conceived and lead to much fanfare upon its release and exposed Staple - as well as sneaker culture - to the masses.
STAPLE is now a world-renowned brand that reflects the gritty and never-ending energy New Yorkers (and all urban dwellers) possess. It not only exists as a representation of New York, but The Pigeon is also the influence behind Staple’s extensive apparel range and collaborative items available across the world. Inspired by street culture and design, Staple’s reach encompasses many different landscapes such as fashion, music, sport, and art.
In an interview with The Sole Supplier, Jeff himself stated that pigeons are the unofficial mascot of NYC. "All New Yorkers, in fact all urban dwellers, can relate to what a pigeon goes through. Their hustle, their survival skills and their ability to thrive through extremely tough conditions is inspiring to me."
One person’s trash is another’s treasure. And the Sidewalk Luxe Classic Clog is a treat, covered with quintessential New York Jibbitz like only STAPLE could create. The all-over print design is inspired straight from above, because when the pigeon lets go it’s always on point - and this time is no different. New York legends come big and small, and the STAPLE x Crocs Classic adds to the history.
