Nike SB Dunk Low Black Pigeon

The Nike SB Dunk Low Black Pigeon is one of the most striking collaborations between Nike SB and Jeff Staple. Released in 2017, this version revisits the Pigeon concept in a predominantly black interpretation, replacing the gray palette of the original edition with a Black/Black-Sienna combination. The model is identified by the code 883232-008.

What makes the Nike SB Dunk Low Black Pigeon special?

The Black Pigeon emerged as a new interpretation of the celebrated Nike SB Dunk Low Pigeon from 2005. Twelve years after the first edition, Jeff Staple and Nike SB explored the concept again, this time through a darker and more urban design.

The result is an instantly recognizable SB Dunk Low, most notably defined by the embroidered pigeon on the heel, an element that maintains the visual connection to Staple’s original concept. The upper features a predominantly black construction in the official Black/Black-Sienna colorway. Contrast comes through the Sienna accents, particularly visible on the outsole and selected branding details. The black upper creates a discreet and versatile look, while the Sienna details provide the contrast needed to highlight the silhouette.

On the side of the heel is the familiar pigeon logo, a visual signature directly associated with Jeff Staple's collaboration with Nike SB.

An evolution of the Pigeon concept.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Black Pigeon isn't simply a color change from the 2005 edition. It represents a new interpretation of the concept that helped make the Dunk SB a central piece of sneaker culture. The original Pigeon edition became known for its connection to New York and the enormous demand that accompanied its release. The 2017 version maintains this identity but presents a darker aesthetic through the black upper and Sienna details.

The SB Dunk Low silhouette was developed for skateboarding and combines a low-profile construction with a rubber outsole and elements designed specifically for use within this category. The Nike SB Dunk Low is also known for incorporating Zoom Air cushioning in models across the range. For everyday wear, the black colorway makes the Black Pigeon particularly easy to incorporate into different styles. It naturally pairs well with streetwear, denim, cargo trousers, and predominantly black outfits.

How to combine Black Pigeon

The Black/Black-Sienna color palette allows for various combinations without overly competing with the rest of the outfit.

It can be combined with:

• Black pants;
• Blue or black denim;
• Cargo pants;
• Sweatshirts oversized;
• Graphic T-shirts;
• Pieces in shades of gray, brown, or sienna.

For a more understated look, an all-black outfit lets the small Sienna details of the shoe take center stage.

Who is this model for?

The Nike SB Dunk Low Black Pigeon is especially recommended for those seeking an SB Dunk with a strong history within sneaker culture and a more understated aesthetic than the original Pigeon version. The black combination, Sienna details, and iconic embroidered pigeon make this a particularly interesting choice for those who value collaborations with their own identity.

A Dunk Low with an urban aesthetic, a compelling history, and one of Nike SB's most recognizable signatures.
