Clash of the Kicks - Nike Dunk SB - Pigeons Vs. Tiffany




The previous two Clash of the Kicks were more targetted towards Air Jordans. This time around that battle continues but within the Nike SB department. Both pairs are notorious in their own ways and are ultimately impossible to find in deadstock condition. They sometimes are sold for as much as $600+ a pair! Here are the contenders….



1. The Nike Dunk SB Low - Pro Pigeon is the original Pigeon Dunk. It features a grey / red colorway and is constructed from leather and suede. The tongue is mesh, and a pigeon is featured on the heel of the shoe, hence the name “Pro Pigeon”. There was much anticipated hype for the release of this shoe, and it definitely lived up to it, and then some. Due to its immense success, Nike has release several other pairs which take inspiration from this particular model.


2. The Nike Dunk SB Low - Tiffany featurea an aqua and cool grey colorway, and were designed by Nick Tershay, the team manager of Diamond Supply, Co. They are part of the Team Manager Series, and were released with the Nike Dunk Low Pro SB - Vapors (vapor / mineral yellow). However, these received much more attention, and were the most highly anticipated Nike Dunk SB perhaps, ever. It is rumored that only 4,000 pairs were produced. They are highly flashy and will turn heads anywhere. Due to its immense success, sneaker companies have released several models which take inspiration from this particular model and mimic its colorway.


Now it is time to decide the winner!
