Grey ties the Nike Dunk Low Pro SB 'Purple Pigeon' to Jeff Staple's 2005 'Pigeon' Dunk, though this version released in November 2006 at $65 with its own accent color. That earlier release, sold at Staple's Reed Space store in New York, drew a crowd large enough to require police and is widely credited with pushing sneaker culture into the mainstream. The 'Purple Pigeon' keeps that grey foundation but covers the Swoosh and outsole in Prism Violet against a Light Graphite upper.
Unlike the original, which built its reputation on scarcity and a single-store release, the 'Purple Pigeon' arrived as a more conventional release at the standard $65 SB Dunk price point of the era. The shared grey tone links the two pairs visually without repeating the exact colorway, giving buyers access to a version of the reference pair that traded rarity for wider availability.
