Streetwear designer jeffstaple works in collaboration with artist SBTG on a special iteration of the iconic Nike Air Force 1 sneakers. The design is limited to 30 pairs -- all of which are carefully handcrafted and boasts the name 'Pigeon Fury.' The overall design highlights both contributing efforts, with a colorway that nods to Staple's signature blend of gray and pink along with the recognizable camouflage pattern by SBTG.
Notably, the infusion of both these design elements nods to both Staple's base of New York City and SBTG's base of Singapore. The uppers are made from gray suede overlays before featuring the embroidered abstract camouflage pattern at the Swoosh on the midfoot. The pops of pink add a touch of contrast across the uppers as well, with additional emblems nodding to Staples and SBTG.
