As though having their image copy and pasted over and over again wasn’t bad enough, some live pigeons have been imprisoned in promotion of Jeff Staple’s new release. LimitEDitions, a Barcelona shoe shop, created a display cage flapping with the iconic city bird and Staple’s latest iteration of pigeon apparel for New Balance. This avian abuse needs to end in all its forms. |Hypebeast|
Complex expands on Jeff Staple slapping his pigeon icon and colorway on a bunch of other products, pointing out it’s use on Nike socks, a Lomo toy camera and an Amp energy drink mini fridge. |Complex|
Continuing to milk the hype once associated with his pigeon-inspired logo and colorway, Jeff Staple collaborated with Kangol on a shit-covered safari hat. The 5-panel, neckflap-equipped “Pigeon Sunhat” shares the same design and style that Staple has used with so many brands already: Nike, New Balance, New Era, Converse, not to mention his own. So if you’re into streetwear history, this $77 cap might help protect your neck while outside your local boutique this summer. |Hypebeast|
